The device is characterized by its flat-edge design that draws inspiration from the latest [iPhone 12 series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redmagic-vc-cooler-5-pro) smartphones released just recently and the iPhone 5 from several years ago. This helps to transform the wearable into a high-end wearable that would fit in well with the existing design aesthetic being observed across the above-mentioned iPhone range as well as the latest-generation [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hermix-nano). The Apple Watch 7 concept speaks to the angular aesthetic that we could see permeating across the technology brand's entire lineup as it seeks to create a cohesive design ethos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Flat-edge Smartwatches:** The trend of flat-edge smartwatches offers opportunities for companies to create sleek and modern wearable devices. - **Angular Design Aesthetic:** The trend of angular design aesthetic in technology products presents opportunities for innovative and cohesive design across different devices. - **High-end Wearables:** The trend of high-end wearables opens up possibilities for creating luxury smartwatches that align with premium design aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can capitalize on the trend of flat-edge smartwatches and angular design aesthetic by developing cutting-edge wearable devices. - **Fashion and Design:** The fashion and design industry can embrace the trend of high-end wearables to create stylish and fashionable smartwatches. - **Technology:** The technology industry can leverage the trend of flat-edge smartwatches and angular design aesthetic to enhance the overall user experience and create cohesive product lineups. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angled Dual-Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-concept.md) - [Opulent Anniversary Smartwatch Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-x-concept.md) - [90s-Era Computer Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-g3.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Industrial Design Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/176-cs500-smartwatch.md) - [Minimalist Multi-Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept.md) - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md) - [Transparent All-Glass Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-watch-1.md) - [Slender Metallic Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-series-10.md)
