The conceptual '[SINK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sink-concept)' tabletop stopwatch is a smartphone-powered solution for consumers to help them with their [daily focus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-igor) on a decidedly gamified way. The device works by being positioned onto a desktop or nightstand where it will go to work displaying a diver heading down into the depths once the user's smartphone has been placed inside. This acts as a visual representation of the time the user spends not on their phone to encourage them to go for as long as possible not looking at their device when working or even trying to get to sleep.

The conceptual 'SINK' tabletop stopwatch is the design work of Dagyeong Kim, Chanhee Park, Dugyeong Lee and Songhee Kim, and comes as an entertaining way to combat against [smartphone distractions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolt-app).
