Description

Convertible smart watch {Convertible smart watch}

The present invention relates to a smart watch, and more particularly, to a convertible smart watch capable of freely switching between a smart watch and an analog watch.

A smart watch is an embeded system wristwatch that is equipped with more advanced features than a regular watch. In the early days, it was equipped with basic time display function, calculation function, translation function, and game function. However, nowadays, it can be used for various applications such as phone call, voice and text message reception, audio and video file reproduction, . Today's smart watches are typically equipped with a camera, an accelerometer, a thermometer, an altimeter, a barometer, a compass, a chronograph, a calculator, a mobile phone, a touch screen, a GPS, a map display, Charge / discharge battery, and the like.

The smart watch has a display panel on its front surface for performing various functions and confirming information. While a design having a large display panel may cause future-oriented aesthetics, It is also a factor that distracts users who are accustomed to the traditional aesthetics of analog watches.

Thus, although a smart watch which is designed to display a rotating hour hand and a minute hand on a display panel so as to be close to an analog watch is disclosed, it is difficult to completely reproduce the aesthetic sense of the analog watch in which the hour hand and minute hand rotate. Further, it may be difficult to confirm the time when the wireless communication state is bad or the battery is discharged.
