At first the Equals Watch may not look like a watch at all. It has two touchscreen-like faces that look more like a futuristic miniature computer or hi-tech piece of jewelry than a timepiece. Yet as soon as the Equals Watch is turned on, it is clear that it has a very specific function.
What makes the Equals Watch stand out in particular is how the two screen parses out information in an easy to read format. For instance, the top screen displays the time while the bottom screen appears to sync with phones and calendars to alert people to important messages and meetings.
The Equals Watch was designed by Product Tank, a studio based in the UK.
