Holes are a bit too much...imprints in another colour might work. Cheers, Dietrich Hi Makkovik,

Thanks – I agree with the white dots…I couldn’t quite get the metallic effect I was after. Holes are a bit too much…imprints in another colour might work.

Cheers,

I don't like the white dots on the side, between the links, either. Other than that, an amazing design.

I was thinking four concentric LCD bands - that way it could be permanently lit. Alternatively, main display is LCD and outer wedges are LED. Then you could have the main display always lit and the wedges wouldn't be visible all the time, except for when you press a button. (I'm not so sure if this arrangement is practical). With the main display on its own it would still be feasible to tell the time - although a bit of deductive reasoning would be required when hours, minutes and seconds are close.

Yeah, perhaps the triangle holes are a bit much. How about a triangle imprint instead of a hole? That's one of my paintings in the background. It's a large triangle! Maybe I'm going over the top with the triangles...but I wanted to make a statement, haha. Cheers, DZ Thanks for your feedback, Firdy. Yeah, perhaps the triangle holes are a bit much.

Honestly the watch around the display is not my taste. But somehow (subtly) implementing triangles in the straps is a cool idea. The many triangles on the bezel are a bit too much for me too. Some small rectangle indicators (like 0.5 x 2mm) would look less busy. But thats my personal taste and I see potential here. The display is a very cool. I thought about a similar display and I would suggest e-paper at the moment because e-paper can show many different things without seams. LCD would have to get cut into fragments. If you run through all possible display layouts, the segmentation would look like a furball. There would be segments that are microscopically small. I think e-paper could do it. If e-books can show grayscale images, then triangles should be no problem. I gave up the idea because e-paper can't change each second, and if it could, it would eat up too much energy. THat was too much negative info for me ;) But if such a display is somehow possible... ...and if TF would find a bit more stylish look, then it's a 5*/YES. I give you this because the design around the watch isn't essential for the actual concept so my taste is just a temporary issue. Plus, technology (or my limited knowledge about it) should not be a too big criterion right now. To make a long story short, GOOD LUCK DZ It’s cool that you can express your idea and share it with us DZ!

Yay I think your design is okay already, only critic about the strap, triangle hole shouldn't be there please. Of course I would buy if it is ever be produced! 5* some observation: what is the painting at the background and why you use that image? motif? I couldn't let my brain to stop thinking why you put that particular image ;-) crikey! actually I’ve quite similar idea long time ago, but I couldn’t fine how it would works well on analog design but never thought to apply it on LCD design (then I created Tako aka Art in A Watch).
