Yeah the density of the mesh could easily be reduced to improve the visibility of the discs if needed.

For the mesh : The best, visualy, would be to be on top of the glass & get it moulded into it. ( if it was under it would loose it’s charm )

& I meant the number of wire. ( Also, I didn’t realized that some had backlight on. This would certainly be better )

The intention is that the mesh could be either above or below the glass, if it were below then there would be no issue with catching clothes etc. If it were above the glass it would be tight against it or maybe moulded into it so there wouldnt be big enough gaps to snag materials. Regarding the visibility im sure that the material the discs are made of could be much more vivid than I am able to make in my cad program. They would certaily be more vivid with the backlight on. Im sure this would not be an issue if it was developed further anyway. Cheers for the feedback Makko!

I like the overall look. I have two concern : 1 ) is if cloth can get caught in the mesh. 2 ) the color visibility.

I would buy the black.

I should mention that cad skills are not nesesary for submissions, sketches, photoshop images and even written descriptions are accepted. As long as you can describe your ideas in an easy to understand way.

Hi Brandon, yeah I mostly work on the computer using “solid works” cad programe. Sometimes I will do some hand drawn sketches first to figure out the shapes or display details etc. if you would like get into cad “sketch up” seems to be a popular free software. Cheers for the interest and the vote

This is quite the unique deisgn! I like it! I have one question though, not really about the watch.. how do you design your ideas on computer? I’ve been wondering for weeks and I cant find anything useful! 5stars for this BTW

Great thing So nice and simple design. I luv the grill and the subtle steampunk flair it gives. RGB rocks anytime hehe. Every strap variant looks good and my favorite is the leather one. Would definitely get this one. 5*/PLEASE
