Crikey time runs out very soon for this one! 3.5? a very underated design I think.
Worthy of a much higher score IMHO!

I kinda like the idea, sounds futuristic and such, but the watch itself looks like some expensive gift from a science magazine to its layman customers…that’s the kind of feeling i get from it. Perhaps a more space-retro feel could make it look better, changing the font of the K-sec logo would help, and using a dot matrix screen to add more functionality while keeping a retro look would certainly give it the touch of a complex (for geeks) watch that has the attractiveness of a gadget that space fantasy fanboys would like.

I like the overall look. I still can’t crack the conversion, but it would be worth a shot, mainly because it would fit well in my collection. I would consider buying it.

Thanks all for the comments! This one was really fun to make, and I’m hoping to try a few more using the Kiloseconds-to-hours/minutes idea in the near future, as I think it has a lot of potential.

I like it Cory, nice stella design! The time telling takes a little getting used but I like the complicated technical looking display! 5/Y best of luck!

Nice design, Cory. I like the design of this watch, but the display is probably a little busy for me. Still, 5y

The left side column counts the time after conversions are factored in (to account for the various standard units, day, month, year and hour, minute.

You can set the right side column to count the time of day in kiloseconds.
For example,
12:39pm would be 45.54 kiloseconds
10:17pm would be 80.22 kiloseconds
3:33 am would be 12.78 kiloseconds

This feature could be useful to many scientist types who keep track of findings in kiloseconds (radioactive decay and other such readings)

I like the overall look. It’s a nice idea but I have a question about the time-telling method :

Can/do you only use the 2nd column to tell the time ?

Then it would be : year 2012, september ( 9th month ), day 29, 10:34.
