    Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Guess I'm at the wrong forum.

    Right, good luck with that.
    You don't think the 4 hands and no numbers make it kinda difficult to tell the time? Or even know if you have put the watch on upside down? Similarly, trying to adjust the time from the back and look at the front to actually see the time you are trying to set it to looks more complex than simply using a regular crown to me....

    Wow, people now have to set the time when the watch is on their hand and not before? And your product's whole point of changing the time requires you to have the watch off your wrist! #firstworldproblems

    Didn't JLC do this with the Futurematic back in the 1950s?

    The concept hasn't stood the test of time.

    Well I see you are off to the races. Good fortune gents. I guess there is always room in fashion watches for another player.

    They did the same with numerous ladies watches as far back as the 1920's.

    Can you set it backwards? What happens if you are trying to set it but go a few minutes too far? It doesn't seem easy to move by just a few minutes

    Congrats you solved an issue that no one had, and made a watch that was basically impossible to actually use to tell time at the same time! Which kind of negates the issue you solved.... Since they are never coming back to this forum anyway and this is just a spam post I have no qualms telling them of the issues with the project.

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if the button on the back is the way you adjust the time, and it looks like a NATO strap is the only strap in the pictures, wouldn't you have to take the strap off also to set the time? That seems cumbersome not satisfying.

    I hope the watch comes with pipe cleaners to periodically scoop out skin flakes and hair, because from the looks of photo #2, there's a huge gap on the underside around the body of the watch. Not a clean freak here, per se, but just pondering the nasties that will accumulate there after a few months of daily wear.

    I like the unusual, but as far as I can see, this fails the basic function of a wristwatch insofar as it does not tell the time clearly at a glance. Can't fault then for trying, but just because something can be done, does not mean it should be done.

    Pass.

    And you need instructions on telling the time

    Lol look closely so much fail. Considering technically neither picture is actually showing that time. The second picture actually reads as 10 not 10:30. The first picture is equally wrong.

    Unless it is a jump hour mechanism! Then it would be 10:30
