  I can appreciate the design principle while simultaneously thinking “Oh my $deity, that looks ugly as sin” Watches are an aesthetic accessory as much as functional devices, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It’s ok for different people to have different views on it.

    > Casio watches never looked as cheap as this watch does. Casio's a dedicated watch company. Even in their earliest iterations, they were less limited. From the site [1], this appears to be one person's project. > Going with light grey plastic was a mistake, makes it look like a cheap prop of a metallic object. I wonder if it's less the colour than the sheen of that specific type of plastic. Casio has some great looking fake-metal. In the end, cheap plastic will probably end up looking like what it is. 1. https://dotslashwatch.com/hardware/ https://dotslashwatch.com/hardware/
