But, I feel like there is too much information to decrypt. I wouldn't buy. I like the overall look of the case and the idea for the second. But, I feel like there is too much information to decrypt.

The new way of deciphering the time is quite easily recogniseable, once you know how. The brain is a marvellous thing, and it adapts easily, things that look difficult at first are easily accommodated into our way of thinking, and before long become automatic. Our brians are graet at decihpering anomailes, and fillnig in the gaps wehn at fisrt things don't really comupte. I really love this watch. Diane.

The shock of the new. :) For example, you can read the seconds at a glance once you understand how the digits have been arranged. Similarly, the numbers in the LCD are pretty easy too, once you know what they represent. In fact, I can read the display as fast as a normal watch and faster than my Tokyoflash Nekura Scramble watch. :) I imagine a lot of voters have voted it down because they think it looks overly complicated without trying to understand it. No calculation is necessary. Hehe no worries pcred. ;) I think it just looks tricky initially.

I probably sound obnoxiously critical when I say this, but this is probably the least practical design ever posted on this website. I know that the basic purpose of all Kisai watches is to completely befuddle the minds of the unknowing, but the idea is also to make it practical. There was no reason to do the thing with the adding of the two top rows together (well, there is the fact that maybe stacking the rows made it so that there didn't have to be multiple five-character rows, but it's still irritating to calculate the time every time you look at your watch).

Even without the explanation, a person can decipher with some patience and flexibility since the visual cues are clues enough. I especially like the "split seconds" lighting the frame of the watch. 5 and yes. Good luck, Lloyd! The time is a bit complex to crack at first, but with a bit of practice, it becomes very easy.

It makes such a difference to how a design is perceived. I'll definitely think about it. Cheers mate! ;) Hey thanx DZ! :) Yeah I’d love to be able to do 3D.

Another one of those watches which would require a fair bit of familiarity to be able to read the time easily (not necessarily a bad thing). It would be good to see you using 3D and animations, Lloyd, as your designs seem to have a bit of sameness about them, just because of the way you present them. I'd love to see the above watch come to life...seconds ticking away, minutes and hours changing. The time-telling would be easier to understand with some animations, too. I also think your ratings would go up considerably. 5/Y from me! I think it’s cool, Lloyd, even if a little complicated.

Love the hybrid of LCD and LED, though I believe it can be made with LCD alone. Good luck King-san! Completely agree with Sam!
