The Design

About Simple Code II Saphire Smartklokke

Designet av Simple Code II har som mål å treffe flest mulig aspekter av livet. De tre fargekombinasjonene blå/svart, hvit/grå og brun/lilla dekker ikke bare brukere av forskjellig alder og kjønn, men passer også til både forretningsantrekk og fritidsklær. Layouten er rettet mot å gi en smidigere brukeropplevelse. I midten av urskiven danner måned, dato og ukedag en linje som deler urskiven i to, noe som formidler visuell balanse.

Unique Properties: Simple Code II has a unique feature that the components, such as weather and step count, shift their position to avoid overlapping the blue hands. It is an easy-to-read watch face. The blue translucent hands not only shows the beauty, but also maintain the readability. The date is the center of the whole dial so that user can find out what the date is in a glance. In the middle, the month, the date and the day form a line which cut through the dial in half to create the visual balance.

Research: Started with a very simple idea: make it easy to read. That's why it's called "Simple Code". After done the first prototype, put in more ideas such as translucent hands and still with ease telling time.
Inspiration: The Simple Code II is from the first version which is just a prototype. The idea is to put the date in the center of the dial, so user can find the date effortlessly. That's it.

Every effort is for readability while still maintain the neat.
