I'm a little dissapointed this didnt score a little higher, but that's life I guess. Cheers to TF for posting this design on the blog! Cheers everyone! Pete from the sunny isles! Lol :D Time is short for this design, so a quick thanks to everyone who supported this design by whatever means. I’m a little dissapointed this didnt score a little higher, but that’s life I guess.

The case could be longer and wider which would make the display look shallower in relation. Yeah the two colours does help with the time telling.

Then, since it's an ilusion, there's no problem. The thing I like about the dual-color is that it's helping the time-telling speed, by making a separation between 10's and single digits. 5 mm : that’s a good news.

The depth of the display at the moment is about 5mm using 1mm thick layers. These could be thinner as its the angle of the edges that would dictate the thickness of the illuminated lines that make up the digits (shallower the angle the wider the lines). The original Digit and MKII (both of which never hit the blog) were flat displays (check out the albums on my fb page) So it would be possible to have a hybrid with two digits per layer and have only two layers.

I like the dual-colors lights. I have a minor problem with the depth of the void because it look like it will be a very thick watch. ( maybe just an ilusion ) Perhaps the time could be separated in 2 layers. I like the overall look. I like the dual-colors lights.

Its probably easier for some and harder for others. Cheers for the likey and the vote! :D Cheers Patrick, Yeah it takes a little to get your eye in, but when you do its pretty easy.

For my part, I have a little trouble telling time, but it might be necessary that I change my glasses? 5 * / Yes especially for the look. Very nice watch!

Yeah there are several ways the animation could be done, maybe there would be a choice so the wearer could decide. I did another for the post but that wasn't added (probably due to file size) which was a negative of the one show which looked more impressive. I like you suggestion, it would look like the display is filling up like a water level. Cheers for the feedback and the vote! :D Hi Jordan, cheers for the vote.

I think for the animation though, the numbers should light up, in to out and not disappear suddenly. Its difficult to explain but from the inside, they all activate and then from the outside, they all deactivate instead of just 1 bar running up and down.
