Smartwatches are everywhere and apparently people love smartwatches. Even so, folks prefer stylish models and not your usual, drab square-ish design (yawn)!

That’s why HP has partnered up with designer Michael Bastian, in the hopes of bringing you the smartwatch of your dreams.

Until now we have only seen the product in product images and a promo video, but if you’re curious to see what this baby looks like in real life, the folks over at Tech Hive have posted a video showing the real HP MB Chronowing.

As you can see for yourself, the watch comes in a stylish, retro pack with an interior lined up with soft suede material.

The real-life Chronowing looks elegant as we expected, a real treat to your eyes. It boasts a stainless steel case and comes with a bunch of straps available (made up of leather, nylon or rubber).

The video shows us the watch in comparison with the Samsung Gear S (the one with the curved display and 3G capabilities) and LG G Watch R (with the round display) and as it's visibly noticeable the Chronowing is much more of a traditional-looking time piece, which is what many consumers want out of a smartwatch.

Even so, the Chronowing is a little bit “limited” when compared to other offerings. For example, its display isn't touch sensitive and you’ll need to interact with three buttons located on the side of the case to move things along.

But you still get to receive notifications, setup calendar appointments and check out various messages, weather and so on.
