The conceptual Casio Retro smartwatch is a stylish-conscioius wearable that draws design inspiration from timepieces of yesteryear to provide users with an experience that's unlike any other device on the market.

The smartwatch features a design that draws inspiration from the [iconic Casio F91W timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a158w) that was originally released in 1989 and continues to be an essential option for [minimalists alike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dw5000r). The smartwatch works to let users answer calls, check messages, handle incoming notifications and much more with a face design that looks just like the F91W to make it appear as a low-tech accessory.

The conceptual Casio Retro smartwatch is the design work of Antonio Serrano and can be customized to make it the ideal wearable for everyday use.
