[marked-for-deletion] how does this work? |
|
| |
There's many different plastics possible, surely one of them melts slowly. |
|
| |
It's not the deforming I have a problem with, but the watch continuing to operate. |
|
| |
the working part (digital) could be quite small in a melting watch - perhaps something that melts in heat and then when you take it off it solidifies again (something must have those properties surely). |
|
| |
completely possible. Remove your MFD sir! |
|

Author needs to explain the mechanism further. If it's a temp. dependent melting event, then the thing is only going to work in certain climates. People in Norway will never know they have such funky cool watches. Poor poor icy tall blonde people. |

Otherwise, if you want to make some sort of polymer blend that is solid in blended state and seperates over time into constituent monomeric liquid phases, perhaps, then this needs to be included. This would be a metastable solid state that undergoes liquid phase separation over a period of two years. I don't even really know about this stuff, but I still think it should be included. Otherwise, it's magic. |

It's a watch, not a thermometer. It melts with the passage of time. I'm not a physics major or a chemistry buff, so I wouldn't do much good trying to explain how. |
|
| |
so you could call it a half-life watch! |
|
| |
Ideally, the idea text should explain the idea, rather than waiting for the annotations to fill in the gaps. |

Like how bread goes stale. Hmm. A watch that goes stale, Oh now I get it. |
