I wouldn’t buy that. here why : the snake thing combined with the laser-cut numbers is horrible. ( if it was on a smaller, normal, LCD display it would be nicer )

I’m afraid not. That’s just the simple answer: no.

Yeah that makes understanding it far easier. I have had a few animations not work when posted on the blog. I hope it didnt lose you to many votes etc. I did a “snake” based design ages ago so fully support the concept. Would have been nice to see this design complete with strap etc. But as it is a rectangle it could be worked into many housings including existing TF housings which should add some viablity. 5/Y best of luck Alex!

That is absolutely correct, the animation for some reason is not rendering on the blog so here is the link: Number Kita

Here’s the animation: http://postimage.org/image/lgad71nfp/
the length of the LED trail could be lengthened to make it even easier to read aswell

I think the hour is indicated in the top row (1-12).

I’m almost sure the minutes are shown in negative space so the time would be someshing hours 0 minutes.

Is the time example 12:13? I found it a little difficult to get my head around the design from the text description, I guess your preview animation may have helped. You can link to it here in the comments if you wish, may help people understand the design better. I will wait to score the design untill after I have seen the animation. Good luck Alex!

Alex, I don’t get it. So is the time something hours eleven minutes? I think you need some more examples – it’s unclear to me how to read the time.
