Klokers klok-01

Have booked one of these that launched on kickstarter today

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1221639153/wa...

It's a pity it's not a mechanical movement but I guess it wouldn't then be a couple of hundred quid... Looks a really interesting design I think, based on a circular slide rule, and quite eye catching.

Still a few left at a reduced launch price if you're interested. Deliveries planned for February.

Is it just me who thinks the only unique bit is the "ecosystem"? (*makes coffee bean sign while saying ecosystem*)

[bobbybee]

Not even that, the patented docking key, is just a belt clip stuck on to other things rather than a belt

Oh.

More marketing to the masses via digital media.

Can't see the point in it.

Yes, can't argue with the belt clip thing and marketing nonsense! The bit I do like though is the actual watch face concept with the face rotating past a reference point rather than having hands. No idea how easy it'll be to actually tell the time on it, but presumably not too different to a digital watch in that you have to read the numbers rather than glance at a hand position. Any similar concepts done before?

Google "watch with disc" and click images.
