# Subtle Notification Smartwatches The Dagadam Maintains the Rounded Aesthetic of an Analogue Watch By M | Published 2016-07-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notification-smartwatch References: [blessthisstuff](http://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/wear/watches/dagadam-watch/) & [dagadam](https://dagadam.com/) While the Dagadam Watch is in fact an enabled-notification smartwatch, the timepiece's aesthetic opts for a much more subtle and traditional analogue look. This is thanks to the rounded design that retains the minimalistic look and appeal of mechanical watches, while still offering the capabilities of a smartwatch. Many smartwatches tend to be bulky and cubic in size and shape, while the Dagadam Watch opts for a different approach returning to more traditional timepiece styling. The accessory features a rounded touchscreen face with a standard setting that showcases hands complete with hours, minutes and seconds. The digital screen remains the home page while notifications, incoming calls and song selections can pop up and be scrolled through. The design is complete with a curved and ultra-durable gorilla glass face and a battery that lasts up to five consecutive days. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Subtle Notification Smartwatches:** The Dagadam Watch combines the traditional aesthetic of an analogue watch with smartwatch capabilities, offering a more subtle and minimalistic design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Smartwatch Industry:** The smartwatch industry can benefit from developing more subtle and traditional designs that appeal to users who prefer a classic watch look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Descriptive Wearable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-time-2.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Hybrid Low-Power Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksana.md) - [Minimalist Multi-Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept.md) - [Simply Designed Smart Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doro-watch.md) - [Design-Driven Smartwatch Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-round-2.md) - [Monochromatic AI-Packed Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vetra-orbit-one.md) - [Sleel Customizable Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-pro-2.md) - [Transparent All-Glass Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-watch-1.md)
