# Tech-Obsessed Timepieces The 'Cycle of Life' Watch By Noora Abu Eitah | Published 2008-11-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-style-watches-cycle-life-by-andy-kurovets References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/11/14/welcome-to-the-glamourous-life-of-a-full-time-professional-designer-watch-yourself/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_details.asp?individual_id=202350&sort_by=1&) Andy Kurovets pokes fun of the lifestyle of most people who work with computers with this watch. He has broken the day down into a few actions: Wake up, drive to work, go on your computer, go back to your car, watch tv, and then go to sleep. I completely agree with his design; it seems that our [obsession with technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-is-too-short1) has consumed our life and careers, leaving us with less time to enjoy all the great things that happen in between these [basic tasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-stopwatch). This neat design is one of my top favorites for sure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Technology Consumption:** The trend of technology dominating every aspect of life calls for innovative products that help users achieve balance - **Wearable Tech:** Wearable technology devices that merge fashion and functionality in fresh, innovative ways - **Minimalist Design:** Increased demand for simple yet striking wearable devices that make a statement ### Where This Applies - **Tech Fashion:** Innovative fashion brands and tech companies that create wearable technology with unique designs - **Luxury Watches:** Luxury watchmakers that create watches with unique designs and smart features - **Consumer Electronics:** Leading consumer electronics companies that innovate in the field of wearable technology ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Meditative Vibrating Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stund-watch.md) - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md) - [Animated Artist-Designed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asterisk-watches-happiness-is-fleeting.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Kinetic Art Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg.md) - [Visualized Professional Time Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempo-time-tracker.md) - [Abstract Artwork-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-delaunay-watch.md) - [Celestially Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astral-desk-clock.md)
