The Design

About Simple Code II Saphire Smartwatch

Utformingen av Simple Code II er å målrette så mange aspekter av livet som mulig. De tre fargekombinasjonene, blå / svart, hvit / grå, og brun / lilla, dekker ikke bare brukere i forskjellige aldre og kjønn, men passer også til sammenkobling av forretninger og uformell antrekk. Oppsettet er målrettet for å gi en jevnere brukeropplevelse. Midt på skiven utgjør måneden, datoen og dagen en linje som skjærer gjennom klokkeflaten i halvparten formidler den visuelle balansen.

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.
