Cool, but way too detailed for an iOS icon. The realistic, multi-source lighting, perspective, and tiny details look nice for an illustration, but for an iOS icon it looks ridiculous compared to the clean. bright colors and linear lighting of the standard set.
Read this.
That said, for an illustration, this is quite good–it has a well-defined color palette and the glass reflections look great.
Really slick! Like it.
Although I have one minor point of feedback. And I actually see a lot of people make this same mistake. The edge of the watch is strange in the corners because you copied the outer edge and just resized it. It's hard to explain so I made a picture to make it clear. > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1216117/example.png Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
@Julian Burford Thank you for this feedback, it felt like something was wrong with the inner corners but i couldn't really point out what was wrong with it. I thought i messed up the perspective in some way, but this explains it :) Thanks!

@Ollin Thanks for the article, Yeah this would only work as a 512 size icon:D Then i would have to make another version for 114 etc.
@Jeremy Jones Thanks! Nope this is just some photoshop-practice :)
