Kudos aplenty to you for such an open invitation for everybody to contribute and pitch in. Commitment is the key word and your implementation is flawless!
First and foremost, clarity of display and instant recognition of information to the user. The watch must have/convey solidity of character and certainty of soul.
No unnecessary clutter on display, large bold visible but not garish hands, markers/indices made to orientate and not confound the user. Colors and textures of all those parts must complement and not conflict each other. The same goes for the bezel, which must be usable and relevant to the watch and its intended function.
Ruggedness of built, extreme water resistance of course - inasmuch WR must be practical and "enabled", qualifying the piece as a true tool watch, made to be used "in the wild" instead of a desk or the poolside bar.
Case -and in a lesser measure the crown- should be big and heavy enough to be seen and felt but not so much as to become a hindrance, flipping and flopping and bumping around. Bracelet and/or strap should have enough girth and comfort to make wearing the watch a pleasure. Strap options beyond the obvious are a much welcome bonus.
Altogether the watch must be made to stand out but not yell its presence; think "less is more" and you'll be on track.
Just my dois centavos, ok?
