Hybrid Smartwatch
Graduation Project
TITAN - Hybrid Smartwatches
Hybrid smartwatches are the perfect balance between traditional analogue watches and smartwatches, These watches look like a traditional watch, but function like a smartwatch. The sleek, traditional design of these watches makes it almost impossible to know if it’s powered by smart technology. Instead of a touchscreen display, these watches use watch hands to notify users for various features.
​
We live in a world full of distractions, a hybrid watch brings together all the best features of analogue and digital worlds. This device allows the user to use smart features and stay connected without getting distracted. Hybrid watches have an additional advantage of longer battery life over other smartwatches.
Project Brief
Design a multifunctional Hybrid Smartwatch along with its user interaction and Features which can be replicated for different users based on their requirements.
Design Process
My project started with an open brief of designing a smartwatch where the only constrain was that it has to be a Hybrid watch which resulted in a research-intensive process.
The research includes multiple personal interviews as the main goal was to come up with important features for which users rely on smartphones or if users can get required information at a glance or in quick and simple interactions without getting distracted
