@Orakix Yeah these Topics virtualy crash my Galaxy Tab S3. Some post 3 links in a row. Oh No. As you say I have to give up. I notice the search bar in Creator shoots of and does a search on the first character you type so if you have a few Drafts that’s it locked till it is done and you can type another character. We need an enter button on that one.
Great challange. Good Topic. Please do not make them too often I would hate to Pass on one.

Sorry if Im the one causing tablets to blow up because I posted 3 designs! In my defense others did a few versions of the last challenge.
One of my X designs was one I had done before the challenge so didn’t know if this counted and wanted to do something fresh. I had the RR crossing idea right away and started it but then decided to do a more functional watch, then felt bad I didn’t submit the RR one so went back to it.
If you want to limit the number of submissions to one, just tell us.

It’s not you, it’s all of us together. I’ve seen other threads that had a lot of embedded face previews that were so unstable even computers had trouble dealing with the page. It might be a good idea on future threads to just limit it to a link and not the embedded preview image. That way they won’t have to load all the previews at the same time. Links have very little data weight to them at all, just about equal to standard text. That’s just my two cents worth, carry on.

The trouble with Challenges is they are Challenging .

I deleted my last one, but had another go at the challenge today. This is perhaps a bit dark (turn up your brightness all the way and it should be good. Again, going for a 3D effect as you turn your wrist in active mode.

Challenging, indeed. Very much so in this case. So much so… that I’m stuck. 
I was hung up on X-Men and the “X” of the wheelchair from the beginning. So I went there. First made a “X wheel” seconds hand. Then made a dial to go behind it. Now I’m stuck. This wheel will overshadow any minutes/hours hands that are paired with it.

Personally, I would just darken the second hand wheel but leave it’s pointer bright. OR, you could just skip the seconds hand altogether and make it a minutes hand then superimpose a smaller version of it as the hour hand above it. Lot’s of possibilities there.

Hmm… either way it’s looking Frankensteinish… a Frankenwatch? 
(reminds me of the Cisco FrankenPIX from a previous life)

Seven weeks later… I’m still unhappy and nowhere with my silly X-wheel above. But another idea just hit me: put a big fat X across the dial, little X hour markers, and battery + calendar complications in each of the unequal quadrants made by the big X. @Orakix gets his X!
It started as a possibly okay idea, then it just got QUITE cramped with all the necessary text & digits: they’re just too many of them and they’re too small. But… I kept going with it anyway just for the exercise of figuring out the geometry of the dial and the math behind the hands. It should fit well on a 60mm+ pocket watch. 
There actually are a lot of lovely antique pocket watches with full calendar complications (circular, not arched like here) plus even more.
In my “fading hands” tradition, H/M/S hands fade out coming out of AOD so one can actually see the complications under them.
