Great!

Love the look! My only gripe is that the sea lion blocks the jump hour number around the 38 minute mark. I now happily own 2 watches from you guys and I'm looking forward to more! :D

While the art work is great, reading the jump hour is next to impossible. Recommend making the numerals and color behind the number easier to read.

Also, why is the crown on the left side?

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. There are some limitations on hour big the hours can be because of the design of the movement that the watch is built around. This is also the reason why the crown is at the 9hr because in order to have the hours in the kelp forest the whole movement was rotated 180º so the crown goes with it.

As this was our first collection and we're new to illustrative ways of telling the time, there has been a learning curve. We have taken steps for higher contrast on all future designs so we do appreciate the review. Thanks

Purchased via the Kickstarter campaign, the Channel Islands watch is very pretty on my wrist. The hour indicator is deeply inset, making it difficult to read in all but the brightest light. I think the seal minute indicator could have been made darker to contrast better against the background. Overall, it's a lovely piece that keeps decent time, but it's not practical for quickly glancing at your wrist to tell the time.
