Oh yeah, TGIT, though since there's finally no skoo -> no stress I'm taking them for granted  

I'll be a bit preoccupied with work and PAAAARTTTYYyy and Trails of Cold Steel however, so my presence on the forums might diminish. A bit.

You keep doing this. It keeps annoying me.

On the other hand, it has me wondering whether I'm awesome enough at my job that I can say to my manager "I've decided I don't want to work on Fridays anymore." Hmm...

Confession 1: I am 18 but I never had a girlfriend. Should I start worrying about my life?


Confession 2: When I am not being a otaku I am a somewhat conservative, reactionary and counter-revolutionary monarchist. Is this contradictory?

Start worrying a little, and worry more and more with every passing year :Teeku:

I don't think there's anything in the otaku code that says you can't be a conservative, reactionary, and counter-revolutionary monarchist, so you're probably fine.

For that matter, I don't think there's an otaku code. Unless it's that one with injunctions like "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's waifu".

How is this 'modern'? It's not 'modern', it's 'unfinished'! (Image from sales page.)

You know, "modern" nowadays means cheap (for the company) and it's obvious that a unfinished one is cheaper that a complete one.

Ok, I'll take a stab at offering a legitimate answer, and allot myself one bonus point for not looking anything up before trying to answer:

  • In general, it's very stripped-down - the numbers aren't really necessary if you're good at reading a clock, so remove them. Bam: 12 unnecessary things gone. The resulting interface is now much cleaner and less cluttered. They took a middle ground and put little dots around the edges - they're still much less intrusive than numbers, and as a bonus are just as easy to read for most people (and will certainly become natural for you to read if you actually wear the watch frequently). I actually kind of like the way that looks.
  • Modern design is unapologetically flat: this is kind of in the same vein as the above, but in a very specific way. This more often applies to digital design than to physical design - remember when computer UIs used to have beveled 3D buttons with glossy finishes? No more. In modern design, flat is justice. But I see the same thing going on here, especially with the blue hands.

That said, it's probably not very good modern design, because it does still have too many extraneous bits. Remove all the blue hands, for starters. With a watch like that, do you really care about the second hand, let alone whatever those other tiny hands are? Plus, then you can remove those extra depressed dials and flatten the whole thing further.

Disclaimer: I know pretty much nothing about this stuff, and I haven't worked on any kind of UI in about a decade. But that doesn't stop me from reading about it from time to time!

In case anyone is at all curious about the code (no idea why you would be though) http://pastebin.com/9WJ3x06L

You'll have to tell me how you did this later, in detail
