Following my last blog I have decided to keep looking into new products on the market but avoiding the whole smartphone area for now as there is too much of an uproar with this iPhone 4s vs. Samsung cheat thing. I was browsing the Internet tonight and came across the new ZIIIRO Celeste Watch on Behance.net
Straight of, seeing this product cause my mind to be shocked! I genuinely think - from an aesthetics view - that the design of this watch is incredible. It is currently keeping in the currant trend with the dull metal with the contrast of the bright colors. Everything from the simplicity of the design of the wrist band, to the flat coloured face to the 'cool' new way of telling the time, it all comes together to create a very - in my eyes - asethically pleasing watch!
But once I started to look at the function of the watch mechanism (this new time telling technology) I personally felt it was very confusing.
It could just be me, but I just think looking at this watch product, I can’t tell the time from it! For example, look at the first image on the left below. It is meant to be 12:30 but nothing is pointing to 12, if im honest I think it looks more like 13:30. Same with the middle image, 1:55, it looks like 2.55.
Over all I do really love the look of this product with the metal and the contrast of the bright colours but I honestly feel that it doesn't work as a product. Okay eventually I guess you would know how to work it but I feel it would still take you a few minuets to think of the time, when on a traditional watch can tell you the time in a few seconds.
