Smiths speedometer inspired watch - POLL

[muffle]

I was thinking the same. It's all very well getting inspiration from the aesthetics of the classic Smiths speedos, but I just don't understand the functional point of having 10 through 120 on the dial. It just seems like a gimmick to me. I can just about appreciate why you might have seconds indicated in the context of a military watch, but I don't much like how that layout looks. The rest of it is fine.

Can you add 'None of the above' to the poll?

I'm afraid I'm have to agree with the above. If it was just the normal 1-12 I would order this straight away. I understand what you are trying to do but it is a bit of a gimmik to me. Overall the watch is lovely. The case (brushed steel), the crown shape and size, I love the yellow seconds hand and the logo and the railtrack - just lose the 0-60 digits. A watch is a watch, not a speedo, sorry, but just my opinion!

...If it was just the normal 1-12 I would order this straight away...- just lose the 0-60 digits...

I'll meet you half way; how about 01, 02, 03 ... 12?

I would still prefer 20, 40, 60 ... 100, 120 as per my post above, but then I'm a motorcyclist and remember having British bikes with Smiths chronometric instruments.

Love the 120 dial - great idea!
