An artist has imagined a new Nothing wrist (1) smartwatch with transparent sides that exposes its innards as the company’s next offering, and it looks ‘nothing’ short of stunning.
If you happen to be living under a rock, Nothing was launched by Carl Pei, the OnePlus co-founder after parting ways with the company last year. The startup recently introduced its ear (1) wireless earbuds that not only offer a lot more for their price than you’d expect, but also sport a stunning design, the likes of which haven’t been tried by any company yet.
Transparency seems to be the main philosophy behind those earphones with their transparent case and transparent buds. In a world of cutthroat competition, a new brand would have to offer something unique if it wants to pull people’s attention, and Carl Pei managed to do just that with the Nothing ear (1).
But of course, a brand must also strive to maintain consistency across its product lineup in order to keep its portfolio easily recognizable. Designer Gian Luigi Singh knows of this and has based his renders on the fact that Nothing’s next product, whatever it may be, will be following a design language that will not be unlike its earbuds (via: Yanko Design).
The renders thus reveal a smartwatch with crystal clear sides that display the raw beauty of the precise engineering that makes a wearable tick. This will be reminiscent of some of the high-end analog watches with transparent underbellies that demonstrate the mesmerizing, precise yet complex clockwork it takes for the simple functionality of displaying the time.
But of course, a stunning design isn’t all that takes for a product to be successful, which is why the Nothing wrist (1) smartwatch will come with all of the newfangled health and fitness tech including a heart rate monitor and step counter, to keep up with the competition.
Moreover, like any other premium wearable piece of gizmo, the Nothing smartwatch will be protected against the elements by a water-resistant rating. Gian has slapped an IPx4 label at the watch’s bottom so there’s that.
The watch will be powered by Google’s Wear OS which should provide its owner all that they need to operate it and keep it connected with their smartphone. Speaking of connectivity, the wrist (1) will offer seamless connection and interoperability with Nothing’s present portfolio – that includes solely the Nothing ear (1). Thus, the watch will be able to pair with the earphones effortlessly and will allow one to keep tabs on the latter’s battery and adjust its volume levels.
In conclusion, the concept isn’t something far-fetched and we wouldn’t be surprised if Carl Pei himself comes across it and gains the inspiration required to launch something similar. If that actually happens, one can safely say that the renders will be to Carl Pei exactly what an apple was to Isaac Newton.
