The fidget spinner could be perceived as a fad but really identified the widespread appeal of small playthings for users of all ages, so the conceptual 'Fidget Smartwatch' shows off how they can be integrated into the design of modern wearables.
Designed by Yunna Hwang and PDF HAUS, the smartwatch has been designed in several color options and features a spinning bezel that will allow wearers to play with it during wear. This will offer a discreet way to fidget in meetings or during work without having to rely on dedicated toys.
The conceptual 'Fidget Smartwatch' has been designed in three color options including black, white and red, which further adds to the stylistic aesthetic of each device. The devices promise the same functionality that has come to be expected from wearables, but with a distinctly playful twist.
