As the smartwatch race gaines momentum, a few concept models have been showing up with some designs such as the Gábor Balogh smartwatch becoming incredibly popular. This beautiful concept named Span, is not a smartwatch so much as a watch that happens to have some smart functions. Created by Box Clever, a design studio in San Francisco, the Span smartwatch features an unique way of showing time, the top part displays the hours whilst the bottom half the minutes. Across the middle runs a stylish perforated band that displays time in digital format and notifications such as incoming calls, messages or alerts. Sadly this is still in concept phase, but we hope Span will find its way onto the marketplace soon.Also check out our roundup on Smartwatches
