As we all know, Apple’s new wearable device the “Apple
Watch” as they call it was unveiled to the world earlier this week as a
rounded square timepiece. While Motorola & LG have opted for a circular
smartwatch with the Moto 360 & the LG Gwatch R respectively. Apple’s Watch
will be available early next year in two square editions and a variety of
finishes. Square might be the only option in Apple’s smartwatch portfolio right
now, but what if the Apple smartwatch was circular?
Designer Alcion has tried to
find out exactly what people were really expecting from Apple. In a series of
concept images, Alcion offers a glimpse at what Apple’s smartwatch would look
like with a circular display. Perhaps not surprisingly, there are a number of
UI elements that match a round display perfectly, including the home interface
and activity monitor. Apple’s Watch might be a little chunky square with
bulging sides right now, but this thin concept shows the potential for future
generations. We don’t expect smartwatch components to get squeezed into a thin
and elegant frame anytime soon but the same was expected from Apple.
