IxdaoFans Round 2: the results are in – and here is the Final Round!

Round 1 is closed – thank you! Over four weeks, 1,668 people took part in the IxdaoFans Round 2 vote and chose from 71 community designs. Every vote was checked: duplicate votes, fake and throwaway email addresses and designers voting for their own design were removed.

Now it is time for the Final Round.

See the 6 finalists

Round 1: the final Top 10

1. Warrior Laurel – 381 votes
2. Sea Warrior – 306 votes
3. Serene Warrior – 282 votes
4. Gold Olive Green Warrior – 228 votes
5. Xiangyun Dragon Warrior – 187 votes
6. IXDAO Warrior Nocturne – 187 votes
7. Skeleton – 143 votes
8. Camphora – 142 votes
9. Eternal Warrior – 136 votes
10. Emerald Water Lily – 124 votes

Xiangyun Dragon Warrior and Nocturne finished tied for 5th place, so instead of a Top 5 we are taking six finalists into the last round. A big thank you to all 71 designers – the quality of the entries was amazing.

Why a Final Round?

In Round 1 everyone could pick up to five favourites. That is great for discovering designs, but it also meant that some designs were pushed by large groups voting for one design only, and we had to remove a number of votes from throwaway email addresses. We want the next Warrior to be the watch the whole community likes most – so in the final, everyone gets exactly one vote, and every finalist starts again from zero.

The six finalists

Warrior Laurel – 37.5 mm, no date. A green dial with a sunken centre of finely textured cells, warm rose gold hands and indices, and a classic counterweight seconds hand.

Sea Warrior – 37.5 mm. A deep blue dial with an irregular, nature-inspired texture that looks like wind moving across water.

Serene Warrior – 37.5 mm. Chinese celadon and ink-wash painting on the dial: a windswept pine, brush-style black hands and a cinnabar-red date disc.

Gold Olive Green Warrior – 37.5 mm. The classic Warrior with an olive green guilloché dial and gold indices – simple, warm and elegant.

Xiangyun Dragon Warrior – 39.5 mm. A dragon among auspicious clouds in classic blue-and-white.

IXDAO Warrior Nocturne – 39.5 mm. A deep midnight blue textured dial with faceted details, inspired by quiet, cool nights.

How the Final Round works

• When: Monday 2 November, 21:00 until Sunday 8 November, 24:00 (China time)
• One vote per person – pick one of the six finalists and confirm with your email
• We also ask one short question: would you consider buying the watch if it wins? It does not change the vote – it helps us plan production so the winner can be made and delivered quickly.

The rules

1. One vote per person. If you vote again with the same email, only your last vote counts.
2. Designers may not vote for their own design – not with their own email and not with other email addresses.
3. No fake, throwaway or borrowed email addresses, and no bots or automated votes.
4. No spam. Do not mass-send the voting link to email lists, contact lists or groups, and do not send messages that only ask people to vote for a design. Sharing your favourite with friends or on your own social media is very welcome – tell people why you like it!
5. No buying or trading votes.
6. Every vote is checked. Votes that break the rules are removed, and a design whose designer or supporters break the rules can be disqualified. IXDAO's decision is final.
