Design submitted by Firdaus from Malaysia.
Firdaus says: This is sequel of my previous Day Watcher concept. Now redesigned to be more minimal, stylish, added extra functionality and incorporated with solar panel to support longer use.
This watch is a must for everyone who value time and love razor sharp minimal watch design that is unique and different. No need to press button. The animation is always on.
Day Watcher Cruiser is a new way of telling time beyond hour and minute. It is easy to produce, can be made available at an affordable price tag and has exceptional style and functionality. Watch your day!
This takes me back to some of the old school Tokyoflash watches like Latitude & Pimp, but its a modern & new approach.
The display is simple, classic, easy to use & looks great. The case & strap are interesting with the 2-tone effect it has a unique look.
Question about the milestone feature… if your milestone is 9pm & now its 8pm then there would be no gap, so it looks the same as 9pm normal time?
or, if your milestone is 1:00am & now its 11:50pm the milestone markers would be covered over?
Anyway, still awesome. I would definitely wear this. 5/yes

+Excellent rendering, and I like the name.
+I think the two-tone strap idea is pretty neat, as onisan mentioned.
+I like the idea of a solar panel for longer use.
+Animating the seconds is a nice idea.
-I see how a person who likes to have a lot of information from their watch might like a watch with this format, but for me, it’s just too much information. I don’t want to think that long when I look at my watch for the time.
-A decade marker does not seem to be very useful. A watch that can give you this much information should also be able to tell you the exact year.
-Time-reading aside, it’s not unflattering, but also not my style – even the pink one and the purple one. I can see how some girls might be interested in wearing it, but the fact that the case is so large and clunky will keep me from a purchase.

Hi Firdaus,
Am I right in thinking the display is ment to look like a city skyline? If this is the case a more 3d look would add to the theme. Either way very sharp looking with a techy feel. I too like the two tone strap idea. The renderings and presentation as always top banana!
My only critism is there is quite a lot going on (too much info) but that is something the user would soon get used to. 5 stars and Yes! 🙂

Firdaus, looking good on this design. I would like the option for date instead of day of the week, but it’s a minor quibble. Overall I really like this design, it’s very smooth on the eye, but also gives a lot of info. Yellow one plz 🙂

Dear all
I’m the designer of this concept design.
First, I’d thank all of you for your time and interest to the design and comments. There’re professionally written comments, and not to mention some emotionally sounds and one that sounds like revenge mission too, however, all comments are appreciated.
To answer some questions; overlapping milestone marker and current moving time can be solve by blinking or another marker/square inside the square. This is a day watcher concept to see how much time you spent, how much time left, other means to tell the time beyond hour, second, date format etc… so there’s no exact date of a month. A decade is essential IMHO even though there’s no exact year shown, its subjective and depends on you; it can be 2012 the first marker to the next 10 years / decade etc.
I understand this design might not appeal to everyone, just like the rest of Tokyoflash watches too, most designers and fans here don’t own all Tokyoflash watches, so that’s not a big deal, but noted. Also, I don’t see this watch to compete with Bleed watch design, since its different concept and theme, however, I’d love to see that bleeding watch comes to live too, so its good to finger crossed for it.
Hey Tokyoflash, what do you think?
Thanks

Now this is aesthetics! I’m a big fan of the display. So many good looking rectangles that look indeed like a city skyline. The milestone function is a cool one. I could imagine different alarm sounds for decade, year, etc. I just imagine a decade milestone, that would be cool! “Look, I set this alarm 9 years, 5 months ago, when I had the plan to build up my own watch shop. Now look where I am now” 😀 The geometry isn’t 100% my taste, but the black version would be it, if I had to choose now. Good luck Fir!!

this is the best concept that uses just rectangles in my opinion. I’m sick of them actually, it’s a boring way to tell time. the time for rectangles is over I thought, but this layout is just beautiful! the watch looks extraordinary. I would get that instantly. hypothetical *****************/YES
