I like the simple overall look. 5* and I would buy.

Thank you all for commenting and rating. I like when it looks OMG WTH and it's a piece of pie actually ;) But I like many things so stay alert!

Makes the fun last a li'l longer. Thank you for the support Heather! Naw you pick one ;) I think if the display is capable of doing it, multiple options should be offered.

Thanks for the luck Jordon! I have my fingers and toes crossed permanently x^^x which makes walking and typing difficult! lol I keep hoping there is a booby prize (I hope thats an internationally recognised term lol) for submitting god knows how many designs. I live in hope! Thanks for the compliment :D Thats one of the nice things also is seeing peoples skillz and ideas improve with each submission, some at a very impressive rate too.

I left the blog for a while due to school and such but now that it's summer, I'm back! Collaboration, celebration, cooperation... All can be used to describe the excitement of the TF blog :) Thanks to the kind and helpful people here on the blog, I've managed to hone my 3ds Max skills considerably and I think you'll notice my next submission will be noticeably better than my other 3d renders. Hope to see some luck going your direction Pete. About time <i>you</i> got a Concept to Reality out into the world, isn't it? There certainly isn't a shortage of wonderful Pete designs :) Thanks kindly Pete! I left the blog for a while due to school and such but now that it’s summer, I’m back!

I have to agree about the collaboration or should it be celebration? I always look forward to seeing what have been added each morning, so exciting and never grows old. Look forward to seeing your submission, best of luck! :D Nice to hear you are working on a little something Jordon! its been a little while hasnt it?

A quadruple 6 (or 7 or 3) looks different. BUT there are similaritities. A top left 6 looks like a bottom right 9. But then you must have all 4 numbers in trouble to not be able to read the exact time. In such a case the solve button (yay, anti-trouble invention!) helps. I think some individual numbers, different from the traditional LCD style would help here. Nono :) The 8s are just fine. A quadruple 6 (or 7 or 3) looks different. BUT there are similaritities.

I think some less traditional numbers would make this display idea a little more creative, don't you think? Thanks for the rating anyway :D Comprehensible point you mention there and totally ok Patrick!

Why complicate complicating, I prefer when the figures are invented, this is a point of view. I'll still note 5 * and Yes, because the “reflexion” is there, dare I say?

Still worthy of 5* though. While I’m here, I just noticed a potential flaw with this design… 8′s could be read as 6′s, 3′s or 7′s… or many characters really. Still worthy of 5* though.

Once my render finishes (30 hours and counting), I plan to send in my newest design to the nice people at TF. I'll also send you the image files if you're interested to see what your insight has brought to the table. This Tokyoflash design "Challenge" may have been misnamed; if you ask me, it's more of a Tokyoflash design Collaboration, but that's just my opinion :) PS. Tokyoflash staff, if you're reading this, I LOVE the new Sweet Captcha rather than the ReCaptcha :D Very true Sam :)

That's the toykoflash effect. BTW, referring to our converation, you can see, this is one of my most simple watch geometries (yet) and I'm concentrating on the display idea this time. Seems to work so far, since noone complained hehe. So realism is not necessarily the main goal. But it's fun to see a realistic looking concept, no doubt. I'll try to keep it up :) Thank you Jordan!
