Quad Digital LED Watch

Design submitted by Logan from the USA.

Infinity Electronic Ink Watch Design

Design submitted by Genghis from France.

Genghis says “While looking at older entries, I realized that a lot of classical patterns or symbols were used, but not the infinity symbol.

It works for each display of time. This is easy to read and gives an unique looking to the watch. Electronic ink could be a good technology for this display and the watch is designed for both men and women. Many colors choices are possible.”
