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
