One of the more interesting “iWatch” concepts we have seen recently comes from Tomas Moyano. The Argentine design student imagines a multi-use device that can be worn on the wrist, or connected to a clasp or necklace.
Moyano’s iWatch is solid, compact, waterproof, and comes with a 1.4-inch screen with a screen resolution of 200 x 200 with 200 pixels per inch (ppi). In a unique twist, the device doesn’t come with physical buttons, microphones, or speakers. Sound is available through a newly designed AirPod, which includes an induction battery system.
The iWatch can track body temperature, your heartbeat, and sunlight exposure. It includes a compass, GPS, accelerometer, pedometer, and gyroscope. It features an A6 processor, M7 motion coprocessor, and a 1.2MP front camera which allows for 720p HD video recording.
Finally, the device may be synced using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi with your iPhone/iPod touch, iPad or Mac for transferring app data, photos, music, and maps.
Take a look (click to enlarge):
What I like most about this design is its flexibility. Most iWatch designs up until this point have featured a bulky device that probably wouldn’t appeal to women. Because this device doesn’t need to be worn on the wrist, it looks unisex. I would imagine the jewelry industry would very much like Apple to release a wearable device such as this.
The real iWatch is likely to launch later this year. Whether it looks anything like the design presented here remains to be seen.
