New iWatch mocks reinvent what a smartwatch looks like

Although the company has still not confirmed the iWatch, designer Federico Ciccarese has created some realistic mocks of the smartwatch.

Ciccarese has created many Apple product concepts in the past, and his latest has brought together all kinds of existing rumors for the device including a slap-on wristband and flexible display along with iOS 7.



Apple is said to have assembled a "dream team" to build the watch, which is not expected until next year. (See video)

Rival Samsung will unveil their Galaxy Gear smartwatch next week at a press event on September 4th, but the device will not have a flexible display, at least not in its first generation.

  No one wants to read the comments of someone who types in all=caps, either, but there you are =) ...
  
  As for "gay"..? No. IF the watch works and looks like this mockup implies - a seriously big "if" - then, assuming it cross-links with the rest of your iStuff collection, this thing will sell like cocaine-laced hotcakes.
  
  As for "ugly"? No again. While I'm no fan of iStyle, it looks very sleek.

  What's GAY is someone typing in all caps and using GAY a lot.

  While maybe not exactly "gay" I do agree it looks very bad.
  
  As a girls watch it'd be ok but wearing this at a worksite or in the trades lol this will be broken in a week, if not fallen off the arm and probably shatter on the ground.
  
  I see this and the google glass as a waste of time really, it'll be a case of why by a smart watch when I already have a phone that does it all anyway and much more on a much larger screen.
