Concept Sunday: Rolex Navigator smartwatch
Luxury watch brands are slowly jumping onto wearables. Some have already announced their first smartwatches. Among them are Breitling, Mondaine and Frederique Constant with the Breitling B55 Connected Chronograph, the Mondaine Helvetica No 1 Smart and the Frederique Constant Horological Smartwatch respectively.

Concept Sunday: Ubuntu Watch R smartwatch
Ubuntu has so far failed to make an impression in the mobile space. A single device, the BQ Aquaris E is currently available. The (overly) Ubuntu Edge crowdfunding campaign failed to raise the funds needed to build what could have been an impressive smartphone.

Concept Sunday: IWC Schaffhausen Smartwatch

While it manufactured the first ever digital watch back in 1885, it has since stuck to traditional watches and has yet to jump into the smartwatch market. That did not stop Australia’s Edmond Lau from imagining what such a device could look like. How can we merge […]
