The NaviMi Watch is Ideal for Those Who Are Prone to Getting Lost

— February 12, 2013 — Tech
Many people have their natural bearings backwards and it seems that they can never figure out exactly where they're going when their origins are unknown. The NaviMi Watch is a clever concept that combines time-telling technology with that of a compass, helping its wearer to remain well-informed about the direction of North.

A ring around the digitally displayed hour has an arrow that shows you which way to go. You see, the mangodesign device isn't simply a magnetized dial, it also allows you to input a destination and save its GPS coordinates. The NaviMi Watch can guide you back to your parking space, to a train station or to your hotel, all with a conveniently compact interface that looks just like a regular wristwatch.
Trend Themes
1. Compass Watches - The integration of compass functionality into watches offers a convenient and stylish way for individuals who are prone to getting lost to navigate their surroundings.
2. Digital Navigation - Digital navigation technology, such as GPS coordinates and arrow indicators, is becoming increasingly integrated into everyday wearable devices, providing users with real-time directional guidance.
3. Multifunctional Wearables - The trend of combining multiple functionalities into wearable devices, such as time-telling and compass capabilities in the NaviMi Watch, offers convenience and efficiency for users on the go.
Industry Implications
1. Watch and Jewelry - The watch and jewelry industry can explore the opportunity to incorporate compass functionality into their timepieces, appealing to adventurous individuals and outdoor enthusiasts.
2. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can capitalize on the trend of integrating digital navigation technology into wearable devices, expanding their product offerings and targeting tech-savvy consumers.
3. Travel and Hospitality - The travel and hospitality industry can leverage multifunctional wearables like the NaviMi Watch to enhance the travel experience of their customers by providing them with a convenient tool for navigating unfamiliar destinations.
