Smart Watch Concept
Pathfinder Hiking Watch
A versatile hiking smart watch with an emphasis on limiting distractions.
Modeled in Rhino. Rendered in Blender.
The Problem
Current smartwatches have a focus on supplying a large quantity of information at all times which can be distracting.
A smartwatch with a focus on outdoor activities such as hiking and camping should emphasize GPS, health, and weather data while limiting distractions.
Target User
Hikers, backpackers, campers, etc. who want to escape the stress of day to day chaos and retreat to nature while still keeping the data necessary for safety and navigation.
Success Criteria
1. Durable and easy to use in a rough, outdoor setting.
2. Simplify functionality but retain most important features.
3. Fit in aesthetically with existing hiking and camping gear.
