The smartwatch market is packed with brands and fresh designs, offering plenty of choices. Most stick to practical styles to appeal to a broad audience, but there’s always room for something bold that Gen-Z loves.
Enter the A_001 PowerWatch concept, inspired by Japanese metal heroes like Jaspion, Jiban, and Winspector. This wearable breaks away from traditional smartwatch designs with its unique shape and innovative features. These iconic shows from the ’80s and early ’90s captivated Japanese viewers and eventually gained global popularity, inspiring similar adaptations.
The color scheme of this smartwatch is inspired by tokusatsu and Winspector, featuring bold red, silver, and blue hues. For those unfamiliar with these classic action heroes, the design might remind them of Transformers—Optimus Prime came to mind when I first saw it. The A_001 PowerWatch has large knobs on either side for navigating menus and app functions. Its big screen, shaped like a Tesla Cybertruck, is hard to miss—yes, the resemblance to the Cybertruck’s design is unmistakable!
The smartwatch features a dedicated scroll button on one side for easy navigation and selection. In always-on display (AOD) mode, it shows the current temperature, date, and time. Side speakers ensure you don’t need external speakers for music or calls, even in noisy environments. Built like a tank, this watch is designed for larger wrists—definitely not for the faint-hearted!
The metal body of this bold, edgy smartwatch is held by a rugged Velcro strap, hinting at its durability. Wearing such a large watch isn’t for everyone, but if it ever hits the market, even Elon Musk might want to wear it!
