The Conceptual 'Balance Watch' Has Digital and Analog Components

— May 20, 2021 — Fashion
The conceptual 'Balance Watch' has been designed by Design Magnet as a futuristic timepiece that maintains a hybrid aesthetic to keep it perfectly functional for the modern consumer. The watch is outfitted with both a digital functionality and an analog dial that would work together to change the face of the wearable throughout the day. An efficient e-ink display is integrated into the upper section of the dial to help keep wearers notified of incoming alerts and more.

The conceptual 'Balance Watch' maintains a soft, minimalistic feel that goes against the design of existing smartwatches and hybrid wearables on the market. This follows in line with the increasing popularity of anti-tech designs that focus on reducing flashiness in favor of simpler, monochromatic aesthetics.
