Something A Little Different - 240Z Clock Digital Watchface.

[K-Style]

Made myself a custom watchface for my Gear S2 watch:

 

I used a CAD program to trace a picture of a JECO 240Z clock. Did a little editing in paint.net and uploaded it to my watch.

Liking it ;-)

Very cool, but you know what's cool? The rally clock face lol..

Hmm. I was going to see what else I could CAD but probably the Rally/Calendar version 74/76 clockface should come next. 

 

I didn't add any depth to the watchface as depth doesn't look right on the digital display. Pitch black background looks best and gives the best battery life.

Very nice, I like it a lot

Like it Rally Clock face would be cool. I have been thinking about getting a smart watch - so feedback on the Gear S2?

Looks good!

 

The rally clock face would make a nice mechanical watch I reckon, there seems to be a huge modding community around Seiko 5s (can get them new for ~$80 on ebay). Seems like someone already had the car inspired seiko 5 idea though! https://themonsieur.com/2014/09/20/build-any-watch-you-want-with-seiko-5/

Just popped back in to say I've been very lazy (if rebuilding a deck and working is lazy). I'm happy enough with the early clock for now. The dark theme is very good for battery life. 

 

My Advice NZder: think about the Smartwatch and whether you really need one. I haven't worn watches for years and due to work I haven't really worn the Gear S2 lately either.

I didn't know about the LG Urbane when I grabbed the S2. It looks pretty nice and solid but other than that I don't know too much about it.

Very cool

I'm just wondering which CAD program you used? I just got given the new Huawei Watch.

I would like to build a custom face that looks like the Jeco Rally Clocks. I'm obsessed.

I'm obsessed.

Admitting a problem is the first step on the road to a cure

I'm still using this as my watchface. 

 

I used Fusion 360. I built the text from lines and chamfered corners. If you pick up Fusion I could share my stuff with you. It's free for Hobbyists for now at least. 

I did a Watanabe wheel in Fusion too.

Nice... I just smashed my Garmin VivoActive and replaced it with a Fossil Q Marshal.
