Design submitted by Calvin from UK.
Calvin wanted to bring Pimp back to life, but with a twist to its simple yet unique time telling method. A watch that everyone would like and relate to.
The design is veryle, black case and bracelet with an array of square LEDs, with a logo on the face consisting of Tokyoflash or Pimp. Along the top there are 24 half hour sections, instead of one light for the hour, there are now two and 30 LED squares to show the minutes. So if there are two hour lights showing, this means it is a full hour, if there is 1 light showing, it means it is a half hour. If there is a half hour, you must then count the sections of minute lights to add up the time which is simple because it is arranged into 5 lines of LED.
Calvin sees all people wearing the design because it it simple as the original Pimp watch, and it can be considered as a new version of Pimp which would make a lot of people very interested to see a legend return. It comes in a array of color including pink or purple which would appeal to women. There also could be a backlight version to make it more appealing or more techy. There is also another version layout where there is no word logo and the single minutes are spread out further across the screen.
i’m kinda up in the air about this design.
i like it, it’s something that i would buy (if avaliable in SS), but it’s been done b4.
or at least, things VERY similar have been done b4 at tokyoflash.
the “pimp” line for example.
only real difference is that the minutes only go up to 30.
that being said, i love the pimp watch. so i also love this design.
like i said, my only complaint to it feels un-original……other than that i like it.

thankyou very much dude ^_^…The pimp range of watches are very unique ans signature for TF, i wanted to make a new pimp watch but of course we cant make drastic changes to the pimp line otherwise it will ruin the originality…so i changed the layout and added 2 half hour groups instead of 1 hours…and only use 30 minutes, its simple as the other pimp watches just different layout really, and I added the factor of a possible LCD version to make there a cool backlight version (the first pics) Im glad you like the design 😀

This isn’t my favorit of your design but its bold and bright and would certainly grap attention.
I think the strap needs more detail but I know you are restricted by your software. 5* and Yes (return of the pimp)

Same here dude, This bracelet here is just a template as im sure you already know i use it for all my other designs haha, because sketchup isnt so fun to make detailed bracelets with xD…but overall i think the layout of the screen is awesome i guess that would be the main thing people like hehe

I think I like this design, but I’m not really sure if I understand how to read the time. Voted 5 and yes because it fits my taste and I believe the real product would interestingly appeal. But I still need to rethink about the reading system.

Great job..i like this watch cos it has got a nice kwl effective eye catching colours like shinny kinds of watches fr anyone. So, i prefer to buy this watch ws made it fr real. it looks much more unique comparing with the ones that are on the blogs and clever way of designing this watch with the good use of different colours depending ro people choice of colours. 5* though heheh

Its like a disco on the wrist! I think it just needs a bit of 3D on the face, raised areas or sunken areas just to break up the flat face a little. Apart from that 5 and Yes. (not sure if that vote saved?)

Three stars is exactly my vote. The watch looks nice but it’s just boring squares. Filling up a quarter of the display with the logo is a poor decision but noone else seems to care. Reminds Matt of a circuit board on a computer? Mate, I want to have your imagination.

You say it looks ‘nice’…then you go on to say only negative things…? I don’t understand…people on the blog are quick to explain in great detail the negative things..but only give a hint on the good things. terrible.
