Several smart watch concepts have cropped up in recent months, but the Samsung YOUM Smartwatch is a little bit different from those others that you might have seen. Where many of them follow the typical timepiece design and feature a screen that's about as tall as it is wide, Ian Nott's version extends the display halfway around the band.
Thanks to advancements in flexible AMOLED technology, this device could become a reality. The touchscreen interface and the strap become one and they greatly increase the usability of the cutting-edge chronograph. With Google Now software, the Samsung YOUM Smartwatch is capable of multitasking, and you can see and interact with more apps around its arced surface. You could supposedly enjoy the bonus of the Ok Google command as well.
