With the advent of our digital lives combining with our real ones there is this notion that we are ruled by our calendars. Think about the last time you asked a friend to send you a calendar invite for simply going for a coffee or plan an evening out. The Calendar Watchtakes a stab at designing a wearable that doesn’t sacrifice traditional watchmaking design but still features some sort of “smart” feature—in this case, syncing up with your digital calendar and displaying that info at a glance.
The Calendar watch is the digital calendar in visual form placed into a watch face. The product makers have a unique take on the how a watch can be used in our daily life. The watch face offers not only the traditional hour and minute hands but an advanced shading system that is connected to your online calendar. Dark segments on the watch face mean meetings and light spaces mean free time. The application and the watch currently sync with the following calendars: iCalendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, Facebook Events, Yahoo!, Yandex, and the team says it will be adding more.
The makers also have designed the pieces to be interchangeable, allowing you to swap in differently colored lugs to create a unique timepiece. Changing the lugs with the provided tool is quick, so you can tailor the watch to match your mood or outfit.
Strategists are exploring the design challenges and opportunities presented by the forthcoming screens on our wrists. These modern tweaks and design considerations are beginning to materialize in-market.
