Check out this new iWatch concept from Todd Hamilton that features a Nike Fuelband form factor and UI elements from iOS 7. The idea came from another mockup by Thomas Bogner but Hamilton wanted to improve the user interface.

I had some free time over the holidays so I decided to take a stab at the problem and create a more user friendly concept. I wanted to retain a slim form factor like the Fuelband and incorporate familiar UI components from iOS 7. It needed to feel natural on the wrist and look like something Apple would actually produce.

Hamilton kept a simple curved touchscreen display and placed a single button on the left to act as the home button. There are two more buttons on the right side for volume. The lock screen consists of a simple black and white interface that shows the time, date, and a button to activate Siri. Actions include tap to use Siri, swipe up to unlock or pull down for notifications.

The Springboard consists of four apps that are stacked vertically. Swiping up or down moves through pages. To replicate the functionality of tabs, Hamilton came up with a simple drop down control in the title bar. Tapping this shows a popover menu with the other pages available.

Hamilton also designed interfaces for making a call and a health & fitness application. Check out the photos and video below or hit the link for more details.

As much as the concept is getting better, the watches screen rumored measures 1.52" and this measures about 3" I hope the watch is made exactly like this but with a flat screen with that display.

Love the thin bracelet, love to see a wide face as well. Love to see different colors. Maybe some bling for some premodonnas in media business.

The touchscreen is really quite small and I can see some problems with swiping on such a small screen form factor without the entire band rotating on your wrist especially smaller wrists unless you hold it firmly. I think the display will be a bit larger and flatter but with that said I hope Apple is looking at this and other well thought out concepts and make the best wearable/fitness watch that Apple is capable of making.

the best Iwatch, can hardly wait..

Defiantmacho - January 22, 2014 at 4:58am

Would definitely get me one of these! I agree that this is the first concept that is actually not only watchable, but desirable as well. Hope it becomes a reality. Hope.....

Perfection!!!

Pleased - January 22, 2014 at 2:25am

Agreed, probably the first smart watch concept I actually like and not over the top. And I disagree that all men would not wear this. Get a Samsung Gear if you hate progression so much.

It's not a watch, it's a bracelet. And men, for the most part, won't wear bracelets. Also: can we please limit the iClarified postings to concepts that actually have foundation in reality, technology-wise?

gamerscul9870 - January 22, 2014 at 4:00am

Bracelet screen= watch. :p

Michael - January 24, 2014 at 3:39am

Because no men wear Nike Fuel Bands as is...what kind of logic?

Mpayless - January 22, 2014 at 12:53am

@ Nat you probably want some web as well right ? Bro adding camera and all that compromises the weight and shape u know.. Maybe I'm wrong !.

gamerscul9870 - January 22, 2014 at 12:01am

Like it, the scrolling up and down can be cool and it does make it simpler to organize apps, can't wait for a built in camera (and tru tone flash if possible.)

Potamus2000 - January 21, 2014 at 11:40pm

That's the first iWatch concept that's actually looked good. I'd buy it.
