for the band, I can always explain it with words.

Yeah this type of band offers flexibility of finish and contrast which is nice. I’m sure it won’t be too difficult to do in sketch up. Creat the basic band first, get the shape you want and then extrude the thicker edges. And then add the watch body. I’m sure it will be worth the wait!

I would have use the same kind of band, after seeing this one, because I’m looking for something out of the ordinary, but it might not be possible ( the Nekura’s are 30x30mm, mine is about 50x50mm ). I’ll try a similar one. ( hopefully it won’t be too hard with SketchUp. It shouldn’t be, but it will be my first attemp with that kind of band, and a new viewpoint ) It won’t be finish before the end of the month.

This is absolutely gorgeous. As a girl who’s only accessory is a watch, this will be a must buy.

This one is awesome. I like the overall look, ( I love the look of this type of band even if I don’t own one ) the scale for the hour, the 12 markers & the idea for the am/pm. The idea to radomly place the 4 single minute is very nice, but they would need to be away from the 12 markers, to not confuse us. ( they could draw the 11th circle & put them inside it )

I would buy it ( with red lights ) and given it a 10*. ( and another GMTA : I’m currently working [ since october 10th ] on a model where the hour is told by a circle expanding every hour. The display look is totally different )

Simple yet effective display. Nice and minimal. Really like the offset face too, gives it that little bit extra futurism

Hey dz, just saw your vid review of ZONE. This watch should indicate whether the time is AM or PM when you set the alarm. I think your watch may have some sort of problem.
