Loved the concept! Your explanation below is also good to understand it better. I'm not a big fan of watches and down have any till now but yes I do like watches sometimes and This one is one of them. I'd like to wear it someday. I dont like to wear the watch because it tells me Time but I like it when it's more Creative about telling me, "It's Time!" You did it well. Congrats! :)

''touching the face of the watch, it will turn back on'' that changes everything !! :)

First and foremost, thank you for giving me your feedback, Alp! Much appreciated. Two points I'd make in response. The first, that I apparently did not make clear enough, is that by simply touching the face of the watch, it will turn back on and display the time/other features again! As quickly as you can touch the screen, that one second, can be the only second you are 'without time.' Secondly, I knew this product concept would be a challenge to sell. It's a product directed towards a very specific target market. I myself would not want to be forced into riding my bike if my car refused to turn on based on some calculation it had either, but would a car that merely POSED a challenge for you to ride your bike to work be such a bad idea? You then ultimately make your own decisions, not being limited or held back by the technology, much like this watch concept.. I'm glad I could make some work that if nothing else gives someone some food for thought, and, again, appreciate the time you took to give me some input! Thanks Alp! Your work's great!

Hi Kevin. Even though i enjoyed the overall idea and the great presentations, in my humble 2 cents, a watch is a watch. It should deliver exactly what I want it to, if i want to view time I would like to do so. If I think i should not be aware of time and enjoy my life without it, a watch should not tell me so, it should be my decision. I personally do not want a product that does ''too much'' thinking for me. Can you imagine waking up in the morning, ready to toast some bread, and your toaster says ''apologies master, but you should be eating oat meal instead !'' and switches itself off for the day ! arrogant toaster ! or you jump into your car it recommends running to work to accomplish a healthier living ? Your idea could well be an awesome concept art piece but I don't want every single product in my life to tell me what is right for me. It is the individuals responsibility to decide that. All the best with your work.
