Blue/orange color scheme is my favorite. Has a nautical feel to it, true to its name

Hard to determine which is more popular at this point. I think I wear the blue more often because of the orange details.

I have the same sentiments about the blue watch. I know the dial designs are in the early stages but I find the gray dial difficult to read the 24 time because of the typeface color. The blue doesn't have the contrast the orange has that jumps out quickly, it has a more subtle layout.

Of course this is all from looking at pictures online, I'm sure I would have a different reaction if I could see them in person.

We've actually redesigned the dials to make them easier to read, especially for the grey model.

I've asked before, but I'll try again:

Why did you get rid of the GRAY RING, separating the two main colors? I thought it made the 24-hour time stand out and more easy to read. Also, I thought it made your dial (overall look) even better :).

I know the blue-green dial isn't being offered, but that gray ring made all the difference. Without it, the 24-hour time/text gets hidden or lost within the dial face. See below. The 24-hour time on the blue-green dial stands out and easy to distinguish for the the eyes, whereas the three options being offered, it's hard for the eyes to pick up on the 24-hour text.

I thought you were kidding. The grey ring was used to illustrate the two time zone differences to people who are t familiar with gmt. I added the green and grey rings in Photoshop as a teaching tool. The watch never had these

.....Green and blue is the best color combination :)

Amen to that.

If the blue-green option is offered, yes, with the grey ring separating the two main colors, yes, exactly like that posted photo, I WOULD BE ALL OVER THIS :-d.

In my opinion, that blue-green dial is the best looking one. Very sharp and everything on the dial is legible, well placed, and easy/pleasant on the eyes. For me, it's the "better designed" one because it looks like it has depth (because of the grey ring).

So sad it's only an illustration and not being offered...:-(
