One of the biggest design problems with smartwatches that prevent them from being widely applicable for all users is the tech-centric look that they have, which is something the conceptual Coalesce C_001 smartwatch looks to change.
Featuring a sapphire crystal glass dome, the smartwatch doesn't have a touchscreen interface to effectively limit the amount of interaction you physically have with it. This also works to enhance the battery life to keep the device working for longer periods compared to existing smartwatches presently on the market.
The conceptual Coalesce C_001 smartwatch is the design work of Alexander Shayle and is controlled via the crown that is present on the side section, which keeps you in check with how much time you'll actually spend fidgeting with it.
