The 176 CS-500 Smartwatch by Carl Hauser Has a Rugged Form

— June 22, 2023 — Art & Design
The conceptual 176 CS-500 smartwatch has been designed by Carl Hauser as an ultra-modern, industrial take on wearable technology that merges aesthetics to achieve a stylish piece of equipment. The wearable follows on the designer's experiences using the Apple Watch before switching to a Casio watch and boasts a hybrid design that includes physical controls alongside smart features. The wearable thus features a square case with industrial accents like visible screws, while vents on the side indicate the smartwatch has a built-in speaker and/or microphone.

The conceptual 176 CS-500 smartwatch is paired with a color-matched strap that extends the concrete-like shade to the rest of the wearable. These design details create a wearable that's as stylish as it is ready to handle the demands of athletes.
