I agree with you for the 3:33 pic. totally weird. and the effect repeat itself 18 times per day. ( probably the best feature )

Like the cyclop watch : There is to much colors to remember. But the positive factor is that the display part is better, a lot ( 3 circles instead of 36 squares ) It’s better for the time telling speed, less confusing. and when the time is 11:– it’s looking like a “dart board”.

HAHAHA…rainbow puke…LOL. Maybe they’ll be vomiting up my watch.

Sorry Firdy and Leonard, but I like my watch! I’m sticking with the overall idea, plus or minus a few things. If this became a reality I think it would rock!! I have a sense that my idea has come before its time…

Cheers,

Good words from Firdaus. Let me share what Dieter Rams say about good design:http://www.vitsoe.com/en/gb/about/dieterrams/gooddesign/. I hope this website will guide you well.

The moment I hit button like at the rainbow puke blog, I have a watch based on colors the next day. But I feel like don’t have to rush it now, I’m hoping to see more watch design with time telling based on colors here.

Dsign555, I think your watch is already ok and interesting, but the actual fans of it might not be here, but else where in the web, may be someone should share this at the rainbowpuke website hehehe

Consider simpler but more user friendly display, use less color (you can utilize the analog position instead of using 100% color-telling) and apply some art to the overall design and you are all good to go!

Goodluck on this though, 5* for fresh and different concept!

Thanks, Samukun. I think you and I are on the same wavelength – to me the time 3:33 is like a joke…it’s yellow, and that’s it??! Perhaps with 10,11 and 12 you could have black instead of ivory.

Cheers,

I really like the circular time displays. The ones with 10,11 or 12 are not that super stylish but the others are very. The 3:33 is cool. “What? I see a yellow circle, where do you see a 3?” Hahaha. The fireworks would be like a party on your wrist! I totally support the color coding idea. It’s not for everyone, that’s clear, but it’s a fun way to tell time. Good luck DZ. And congrats to further experiences with SketchUP.

Thanks, Heather. It’s a pity I don’t have the design skills of Sam or Pete…then I’m sure it would get stratospheric ratings, hehe.

Thanks, John. Who knows…maybe TF will manufacture it? I’ve checked other winning submissions, and they normally get 4 and above.

Cheers.

Thanks, Ranjan. With a bit of TF finesse, I’m sure it would look sensational!

Hey, Dietrich! This is a really neat idea – color coding is a particularly difficult concept to tackle, both as designer and reader! Great that you have a reveal mode – I don’t think it would take too long to learn..and the Fireworks mode is a neat and fun idea! Good luck!

I LOVE it and am disappointed that it has a low approval rating. I’d buy it. Good luck with your submission.
