Nigel Cross Methodology is used in this work to achieve the desired output. This method is composed of 7 successive stages as follows
1- Clarifying Objectives
2- Establishing Functions
3- Setting Requirements
4- Determining Characteristics
5- Generating Alternatives
6- Evaluating Alternatives
7- Improving Details
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Watchband length equal to 22 cm

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: first by objective tree, we show general features we have in mind. Next, find main function, sub functions. then limits, and what it must be. Next separate wishes and demands. then determine characteristics, Which we have to develop a relationship with customer by questionnaires and interviews, to achieve needs in general and for Tron fans. by competitor, find out main technical specifications, show them in a quality house. then we consider alternatives, rating them and start sketching.
CHALLENGE: understanding the characteristics of existing competitors which is important for users, had little information for designing, because of differences in approach. So we further derive the general requirements in relation to a watch, we collected needs of the client separately from the questionnaire and send to enthusiasts of this genre.
the most important issues was creating different interactive for the user, much different than Sony watch, Apple watch and etc.
