Thanks David! It's certainly on my schedule after finishing some backlog and ship out the pre-ordered watches.
Funny thing, I worked out yesterday that (at the moment) the most interesting way to check the time is by bringing the your arm (and watch) close to your forehead to activate the motion sensor, and then read the time :-). This will certainly draw some attention :-) Of course, another interesting way is using someone else's cheek for example. I have to say, the nixie tubes are the most beautiful way to display the time and the blue LEDs really make the tubes shine at the same time. Just what I had in mind during my eureka moment! I also want to take a picture with full moon and the nixie watch beside it, that's going to be a bit tricky so I am still thinking about how to get that done.
