Broadcast watch manages your digital life.

Posted on by

Design submitted by Firdaus from Malaysia.

Firdaus says: My watch design this time is a bluetooth watch with focus on broadcasting synced information and updates from smartphone: This can include; Email (from & subject), message, incoming call, Facebook notification, tweet, subscribed news (headline), to do list etc…

The watch features simplicity in term of design and technology adequate for broadcasting simple information in form of text. This watch design uses segmented LCD with EL back-lighting and 5 LED indicators each for every broadcasting function selectable by user. There will be a smartphone companion app  to allow user to change which info to appear for each line. When bluetooth sync is enabled, the watch will automatically broadcast latest updates respectively. The broadcasted information scroll in loop. When there’s new update, the LED indicator will blink and the new info will overwrite the previous one. When bluetooth sync is disabled, the watch will only show time or along with date.

The broadcast watch is simply useful for user to be keep updated without having to swap the phone every time. There is time like when driving, meeting, dating, during lecture, dining etc. when the phone is wisely kept in pocket. The watch will stylishly blink and user can view what update at a glance.

The principle of this watch is simplicity and just for broadcasting purpose. The design is simply as it’s function. Simply that. Not complicated.

  3. it looks super cool, and the concept is pretty awesome. great job showing the sample smartphone app, and the sample animation is really neat! for me, this is too bulky, but considering the awesome functionality, the size might even be something that can be overlooked.

    • This is not final product Heather, so I think a proper comment should be… I hope it will not bulky…. blah blah… lol if a watch design is 2d or 3d with weird or improper modelling/rendering I wouldn’t say this is just 2d so I’m not buying it (will I get a piece of paper board?).

  4. Unfortunately I can’t see this being made. It’s looks like it would be too crowded and overwhelming. And I don’t think everyone would like it because not everyone has a facebook and a twitter. I think it would be cooler if those social functions were replaced with maybe schedule reminders or a to do list or something. Maybe even the weather. but I can’t even see the social networks portion being helpful. Sorry.

    • I can’t see the future because I’m not a fortune teller. If you understand the concept, every line can be customized by user. You may change a line to broadcast weather, or alarm, or to do list et cetera. I can’t see this being made either, since I’m just a designer, but who knows.

  5. Looks very cool Fir! in a geeky techno way. I like the industrial look and busy-ness of the display. I just dont know if its unique enough for me tho. I support it either way so best of luck sir! 😀

  6. Hi Firdaus, beautiful presentation, as usual, but I’m not a fan of computers on the wrist, a little complicated to read and most importantly, it takes time to see everything, I have my smartphone for that.
    Beautiful work of animation and beautiful look, just for that, it deserves 5 ​​* and Yes.

  12. Firdaus I meant by no means to be disrespectful. Seeing as I haven’t sent in any watch designs I cant talk. And I truly hope your watch gets made! 🙂 I just can’t see myself wearing it. And that’s my own personal opinion. I could be extremely wrong however and I support whoever want this watch to be made so they can wear it. It’s just not my fave. However I give you mad respect for a cool design
