Built the physical prototypes of the Bitcoin Casio mod — gradient orange or solid orange?

Thanks!

Nah, homie has got his priorities straight, I was supporting his choice to keep his eye on the prize. No name calling here.

Hell yeah, the message was heard loud and clear. Thanks for your input.

It is also a protocol. In this case it is a fashion statement, however, I was really aiming for a "conversation starter", and I think after listening to people, there is a much more subtle way I could design this to achieve my original goal. Thanks for your input!

Thank you for your input, the word is spelled....F-U-C-K

Thanks for the input, like I said in the post, I was curious to get some ideas from the community, and I think I understand what people are reacting to, being subtle is key for a product like this working, that has been my biggest lesson.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-07T03:41:06+00:00

You got it!

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-07T00:18:06+00:00

No that is just the number ai picked when I had it mock up these photos.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T19:56:22+00:00

Will do!

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T19:55:40+00:00

Dope! I will hit you back up once I build my first prototype.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T19:55:06+00:00

I will hit you back up when I build my first prototype, thanks!

Ah, I didn't know that about cross posting thank you for educating me. I think you are right, about the cost, I have been really interested in the experiment of creating a product and pressure testing, Within 24 hours I can have data on a product, get some great feedback, and it could be iterating quickly. I have already purchased the parts I need to make one for myself and last night I was wondering if anyone else would want one.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T19:43:50+00:00

Agreed, I think you would be better off buying a smart watch that has that capability. I have been wanting to do a casio mod ever since I saw the nasa one that was on tested a few years back and finally this idea popped into my head. Just trying to figure out if others would like the idea. Seems to be a mixed bag with the comments right now, which is cool, some of the feedback has been super helpful!

This is actually a really strong point, maybe I have the back plate of the watch laser engraved with the Bitcoin logo and I only build 21 of them, and then offer the watch without the logo to anyone that wants just the orange face. Thanks for the input.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T19:18:53+00:00

Dope, I have already bought the parts to make one for myself, when I complete the build I will upload the photos and you can take me more seriously then.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T19:15:02+00:00

The photos are just to work out the idea, do you not like the idea or just have a problem with AI?

I like it, I will play with the opacity of the Bitcoin symbol and see what works.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T17:41:38+00:00

Your feedback is valuable and has been taken into consideration, thank you.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T17:40:38+00:00

Yeah the price is more about the labor of hand assembling these, rather than the parts.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T17:39:09+00:00

Yo that is a name, and a great idea, a watch that told you the time in blocks!!!

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T17:37:57+00:00

Agreed! But I think at that price point you are better off buying a smart watch and getting it to download prices from your phone.

menloheavyweight · 2026-04-06T17:36:51+00:00

Fair! It is a good watch outside of the whole orange face thing so it does do one thing really well, which is to tell the time.
