01 · Intended interaction
Place it on your rig
Magnetic attachment to steel equipment is planned, so it can sit at eye level at your station.
02 · Intended interaction
Turn the ring one step
The knurled outer ring is designed to advance with a positive, tactile step after each set.
03 · Intended interaction
Read the window
One number, one window near the top. Turning back toward zero is the preferred design intent.
The problem
Between sets you want one glance and one motion. Not a screen to wake.
The Dial is designed around a single gesture: turn the outer ring one step and the number in the window moves with it.
The center stays still. There is nothing to press, charge or pair. Just a ring, a window and the next set.
Window shows 4
Drag the ring, use the arrow keys, or tap the button. The center never moves.

Questions
Is this for sale today?
No. The Dial is a concept in development. We haven’t announced a release date. Here’s what we can tell you honestly.
Can I buy The Dial today?
Not yet. It's a concept in development and we haven't announced a release date. Join the launch list for development and launch updates. No payment is taken.
Does the center press or reset the count?
No. The center medallion is fixed. It is not a button and does not press. The count changes only by turning the outer ring.

No. The Dial is designed to be fully mechanical: no battery, screen, sensors or app.
