The 'Focus' smartwatch concept has been designed by Sam Beaney and Ed Burgess as a different kind of wearable for consumers looking to enhance their personal productivity without the need for too many functionalities.
The wearable draws design inspiration from street signs and features a round display that embraces a large bezel to encapsulate the small display in the middle. The watch would only show one piece of information at a time instead of putting everything into view like some smartwatch models on the market. This helps users to focus more on mindful living instead of endless productivity.
The 'Focus' smartwatch concept is imagined in a few monochromatic color options with the option to swap out the bands for a touch of personalization.
