I'm kind of annoyed by Ive's glib dismissal of a circular form factor for watches. There's going to be a whole design language based on circles that make much more sense for watches. For instance, it's pretty easy to imagine a minimalist daily calendar overlay on top of standard hour/minute hands that give you just as much information as the vertical list orientation commonly used in calendar apps. Is it going to be able to show as much information that way? No. Will it still be very useful? Yes.
- gnarbarian 12y agoI think some really cool stuff can be done with a circular display combined with a watchface. What if weather forecast icons were used in place of the hour marks showing you at a glance the type of weather to expect throughout the next 12 hours. There are tons of other things like this which would make for really slick, intuitive and futuristic feeling interfaces. Say you have various appointments throughout the next 12 hours. the edges of the watchface could be color coded to different things on your schedule. touching a section and swiping toward the center of the watch could open up details about that particular item on your itinerary. I've got more ideas too :P
