14 DAY TRIAL // The long-awaited iWatch has pushed the designers around the world to exercise their imagination and come out with amazing concepts.
There's no sign that Apple will release the rumored iWatch anytime this fall. But that doesn't mean we're not allowed to dream of some wearable tech that gets the best from the iPhone and puts it in a smaller, more versatile package.
The Italian graphic designers SET Solution have released a new video that shows their version of the iWatch. This one comes in different colors and has a nifty little display case that doubles as a night stand and helps it charge wirelessly.
The iWatch they want has different colors wrist bands: green, light blue, red, yellow, pink, purple, orange, silver, gold, aqua, white and black. The wristband ties together nicely with a magnetic clip.
The designer thinks the best way to charge the future iWatch is a wireless solution. When you unbox it, the iWatch comes in a plastic and glass display case. "When the iWatch is places on his PowerCase, a 'handshake' happens between the charging surface and the device, and then the energy is transferred wirelessly to the device," the video explains.
The so-called PowerCase has a MagSafe-like connector on the back and you can see a message on the lock screen of the device when it charges.
SET Solutions, the designers behind this concept, say that the keyword for the device is color. With the iWatch you get the option of changing the bracelet to your favorite color or match it with your clothes and other accessories.
In their vision, the Wireless Charging is actually Inductive charging, and it uses the electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. The iWatch has two columns of apps and there are three modes in the dock. It has been imagined with a 2.5-inch curved screen made out of high-resolution OLED. The iWatch may run a slim-down version of iOS 8 and this concept has a battery that will last for 6 days. It also incorporates lots of health and fitness related sensors.
Apple has not announced anything related to an iWatch. However, the tech giant has recently hired former engineers from Nike FuelBand and a marketing director of the luxury Swiss Watch brand TAG Heuer.
