Rolex display on Smart Watch

[swanbourne]

You'd think if they were going to do it, they'd make a better job of it.

Uber cool!!!

Not that smart though cos they could have added a date...

[Beaunidle]

I have a Pebble steel for cycling and have to confess that I wear it with a Panerai face :-D

[SuperC]

Like it! Do you know which app that is?

[Cirrus]

What's the lume like..?

[bitfield]

The Sub one even has a fake cyclops...

[Seamaster73]

Coming at it from the other direction, there's food for thought here:

I rather like the Panerai one.

[Broussard]

That missing segment of the Moto 360 really annoys me...

Made me giggle

[webvan]

Not bad, what watch is it? Motorola ?

[alexaff]

Why is there a slice missing at the "6"?

[lst65]

Works well with round 'smart watches'... Maybe not so well with the Apple watch when it comes out?!

[oldandgrumpy]

If it had a bezel (on the screen), we'd all be cooing over it

[dkpw]

I wonder if the use of copyrighted materials has been considered in this context, by either side?

[EtherealShade]

On the Moto 360 this is where the screen connections are, to minimize the bezel size.

Thanks👍

I assume that is not approved by Rolex?

Good point.

Would it be classed as a screen saver?

[exp-]

was wandering when this craze of putting rolex dials on smart watches would start

[Daddelvirks]

Nice, but I'll wait for the Rolex hologram watch to appear on the market.

Looking exacty like the real thing, but never in need of a service, not even a virtual one...........

I wonder whether it can be removed with a chisel?

[watchthisspace]

Hmmmmm..

I chuckled heartily.

I wonder if we won't see more of this sort of thing though. Rather than just a fake graphic, luxury brands producing cases that smart 'movements' can then be put into. Means that you could always have an up-to-date watch as well, as once the 'movement' becomes a bit old you just buy another one to put in your designer case. Purchase an upgrade from your AD.

I can see some people still wanting real steel and there will probably always be a market for it, but I understand most luxury women's watches are quartz anyway, so it's not a huge leap from there, and fashionista scum will always want the latest crap as well.

...I understand most luxury women's watches are quartz anyway, so it's not a huge leap from there...

I wonder if it's because women aren't on the whole as interested as the mechanicals of a watch as men are? My wife doesn't really care what powers her watches, she just wants them to look good and tell the time!

I think that's exactly it. With female jewel watches, it's really about the apperance (number of carats, frankly) and everything inside the watch is fairly secondary.

Saw a photo of 'the most expensive watch in the world'. A women's watch, it was 20 million worth of precious stones stuck onto a swiss quartz movement.

[Broussard]

I think there's an assumption that women are only interested in appearance, and therefore brands produce such models, perpetuating the myth. However, I do wonder whether has anyone actually bothered to ask the question / do the research, or perhaps it's just easier to continue to pump out quartz watches rather than interesting pieces...

I think Hublot fairly recently released a range of female-targeted autos, starting at about 15k or so. I couldn't tell you how well they're doing. I understand Patek Phillipe sells mainly quartz to the female market.

It's a stupid assumption perpetuated by stupid people.
I find it massively irritating.

My wife gets very irritated when going through all the adverts with yet another watch full of stones/Crystals/Jewels or what have you.

Daddel.

[verv]

Quite :-/

[N.Burgher]

Could someone make a similar app which displays lange datograph movement at work plz?
In that case I will definitely buy a smart watch

[andrewcregan]

Wow, they really don't miss a trick.
Will it survive at 300m/1000ft though?!

[Broussard]

New version includes the bezel... and battery life indicator on the sub-dial.

He also has the white-dialled version for download.

Also spotted everything from Breitling to Bremont, Casio to Bulova.

Interesting. Or perhaps it's just me. Might be a #smartwatchnerd thing.
