[NORM Denmark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-hotel-copenhagen) unveiled its first timepiece, a subtle smartwatch with a [traditional analog display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept). With the tagline "the smartwatch that's not a smartwatch," the brand hopes to offer the convenience of a smartwatch to fans of traditional watch displays. The watch has a full range of smart features including [health monitoring, sleep tracking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-scanwatch-nova-brilliant), text and instant messaging, and the ability to receive calls.

However, while a normal smartwatch functions like a smartphone on your wrist, this watch has a hidden OLED display behind its real analog display. This means the timepiece boasts a traditional feel while delivering modern features. The watch can be synchronized with a mobile application, available on both Android and iOS devices, in order to personalize settings, such as messaging preferences, and view statistics related to health and sleep.
