Concluding from the range of smartwatches showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2014, one big problem that troubled a lot of observers was the unimaginative appearance they exhibited. Here is a groundbreaking product of wearable technology that is sure to get your appreciation.
Beauty Meets Technology
Hungarian born freelance designer, Gábor Balogh, developed this sophisticated smartwatch that incorporates some very cool features into a regular watch design. Designed to work like an extension of your smartphone, the watch will provide you with a range of functionalities with the help of subtle notifications and small app icons.
TRIWA-Based Concept
The smartwatch is based on the TRIWA Havana and will exchange the timepiece’s standard dial with a circular display. This display will show you most notifications related to your smartphone, from calls, messages and weather to navigation, music and even a heart rate monitor, apart from analog time.
Bezel And Button Operation
To operate the watch, you can use the bezel and buttons on the side of the watch. This attractive piece by Gábor Balogh gives a whole new edge to wearable tech. You can control apps as well as other smartphone-related tasks right from this watch with the help of the three side-mounted buttons.
Native functions like time, date and alarms can be set with these controls, too, and you can also switch between different modes. The watch is not touchscreen–incorporated though, in order to save the display from becoming smudge-covered.
Future Endeavors
The concept smartwatch by Balogh may just remain an idea till the technological difficulties are overcome by a team of engineers. Until then, you may have to simply wait for the concept to become a reality.
