The conceptual Apple Watch Loop smartwatch has been designed by Felipe Duarte as a budget-friendly version of the namesake technology brand's wearable that sets itself apart from the original with a distinct function and form.
The smartwatch deviates from the squarish design of the original in favor of a circular aesthetic, which is further enhanced with a concave screen to avoid accidental toggling. This circular design also allows for a more fluid user experience by allowing a finger to be swept seamlessly around to check notifications, change settings and more.
The conceptual Apple Watch Loop smartwatch is imagined in five finish options to choose from and maintains a slim design aesthetic that almost gives it an AirTag-inspired look that can be easily swapped with different bands.
