I love that it’s a cuff rather than a traditional band design. I want it!

The look is nice. But I’m confuse about the way to read the time. It would be good if it was a mix between the 12-5-9 and binary system. If it was made as-is, as a guy, I wouldn’t buy it for myself.

I love this watch saw it on pinterest and I want this so badly! Truly amazing concept it would be awesome if it twinkled… I know at least twenty people who would get this. The minute this is out I’m ordering one.

You bring up a reasonable concern, and I think you’re right that there are simple solutions for it: careful light positions, blinking colors in turn, etc.

Thanks, it’s good to hear the positive feedback!

This is a great idea based on constellations. The colour choice of LED’s is nice because enhances the star light feeling.
The time telling 1, 2, 3, 4 – count the lights for each colour is easy & a good solution.

My only reservation is that because the placement of the lights is random, its a little hard to count the purple & not get confused by the red in some situations. – im sure this would be ok though if the position of the colours were changed slightly to avoid any mistake.

Good job Sam F & welcome to the blog!

Fair comment about keeping track of color, but I think as far as learning curves go it’s relatively slight.
I like the thought of sorting by color; it would complicate production a bit, but also allow for really interesting visuals.

And nothing wrong with more Sams in the world

Thanks for the advice! I like the alternate time telling suggestion; the watch filling up with light as it fills up with time is a nice metaphor. But I figured the less math one had to do the better

Yeah it looks pretty and is nicely presented, Sam, but I think the time telling needs to be made easier for people to read quickly as others have said. Anyway, good luck with it and welcome to the blog.

This is very beautiful, elegant, very high tech yet futuristic! But, it look more like a bracelet than a watch! I attract by the beauty of it as a piece of jewellery (the LEDs just like precious stone like diamonds, ruby, sapphire, emerald, … that sparkling at light.) But as watch, sorry it failed to impress me.
