Design Criteria
There are major criterion that should be taken into consideration when designing the app design and the watch device!
Compatibility & Ergonomics:
- Device-to-device compatibility
– Seamless device communication
– Stable connection
– Adaptability - User-to-device compatibility
– User comfort
– Ease of access and navigation
Biomaterial Properties:
Favorable Wristband Materials:
- Silicone:
– High Flexibility & Biocompatibility.
– Comfortable for prolonged wear. - Fluoroelastomer:
– Sweat & Wear Resistant.
– Suitable for high-performance use, but may irritate sensitive skin.
Approving Device Casing Materials:
- Aluminum:
– Lightweight, Good for Daily Use. - Stainless Steel:
– Durable with scratch and corrosion resistance. Considered quite heavy and may cause nickel allergies.
Fitting Display Materials:
- Gorilla Glass:
– Lightweight and Impact Resistant.
– Ideal for physically active users. - Sapphire Crystal:
– Scratch Resistant
Successful Case Configuration:
- Rectangular Case:
– Allows for larger display space for a detailed data visualization
