Redefining smart Sportwatch

2014 Smart Sport watch branded for G-Shock

by Ruby Wu & Kaki Lau Year2 Brand and Process project (Group Project)

Final Portotype

Branding G-Shock G-shock is famous of producing durable watches which its shock resisting feature can be shown by its name. Yet, its existing watch is not able to fulfill the needs of many kinds of sports in terms of process checking and synchronisation. Therefore, the project is aimed at improving the observed problem.

User Interface design Users can pair up their smartwatch with apps & sync their sports progress.

They can keep tracking of their daily record for different types of sports.

User scenario & corresponding interface design

Variation of forms

Form Rationale G-shock from the beginning produced circular shape watch, due to its psychological symbolization of a clock dial. Then hexagonal shape followed. As making a sports gadget rather than a watch, we decided to use rectangular shape to allow a wider screen and buttons at the angles.
