UI/UX
It is not a smartwatch. It’s a watch that redefines timekeeping.
’The Calendar Watch’ combines the heritage of watchmaking and one of a kind design with an always visible daily calendar that syncs with the most popular digital calendars.
Itˋs a smart wearable with intuitive user interface that bridges the gab between traditional watchmaking and technology.
It features a discretely integrated e-paper display that enables an overview of your daily schedule at a glance. The watch wirelessly connects to your mobile phone to receive the latest calendar updates across 3rd. party calendar applications.
Calendar Watch Connects to all smartphone calendars through ’The What? Calendar’ -app & bluetooth connection.
The app can be used to adjust the settings of the watch, digital calendars and to see the battery level of the watch. The app is available for all devices running on Android or iOS.
The watch shows appointments as a series of dark segments corresponding to events and lighter segments indicating free time.
The calendar is read in relation to the position of the hour hand.
It is – in ‘Pacman’ fashion – ‘eating’ 15 minute segments as it passes them, erasing past calendar events and revealing the ones 12h ahead.
The concept is conceived by renowned Japanese art director Masashi Kawamura, who has been featured on the FastCompany’s most creative people list, and designed an award winning Finnish Italian Designer Umberto Onza, who together have fused the aesthetics and the experience to be unique and memorable.
After careful testing and studies, we came to the conclusion that the best user experience is achieved by making the Calendar Watch as simple as possible by leaving all extra features to our App and online calendars. There are no buttons or unnecessary functions or ‘complications’.
With its iconic, refined features, the watch pays tribute to the heritage of watchmaking. It’s polished stainless steel case provides a classic feel, with both comfort and durability, while it’s domed hardened K1 crystal glass is made to last.
The Calendar Watch has been designed in Finland, engineered in Switzerland and assembled in Shenzhen, China,
The watch lugs, straps and buckle are all interchangeable, allowing the user to swap in differently colored accessories to create a unique timepiece. The lugs can be changed with a opening tool that comes with the watch.
