Simple Code II Saphire: A Stylish and Modern Smartwatch Face

Easy-to-read design with a touch of elegance

The Simple Code II Saphire is a unique and stylish smartwatch face designed by Alex Pan Yong. Inspired by the need for readability and convenience, this design offers a modern and sophisticated look while providing essential information at a glance.

The main inspiration for the Simple Code II Saphire came from the desire to make it effortless for users to find the date. The date is placed in the center of the dial, ensuring that it is easily visible. The hands of the watch face are translucent, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the background and avoid obstructing other information. This attention to detail ensures maximum readability while maintaining a neat and elegant appearance.

One of the standout features of the Simple Code II Saphire is its ability to adapt and avoid overlapping with the blue hands. Components such as weather and step count shift their position to ensure that all information remains visible and easily accessible. The blue translucent hands not only add to the aesthetic appeal of the design but also enhance readability.

The layout of the Simple Code II Saphire is carefully crafted to create visual balance. In the middle of the dial, the month, date, and day form a line that cuts through the watch face, adding a sense of symmetry and harmony. This design choice not only enhances the overall look but also contributes to a smoother user experience.

The Simple Code II Saphire is available for download on Android and Samsung smartwatches. With a resolution of 400 x 400px, it offers a precise and clear display. Whether you're dressing casually or for a business occasion, this smartwatch face fits seamlessly with any outfit, adding a touch of modern elegance.

Alex Pan Yong, the designer behind the Simple Code II Saphire, started working on the prototype in May 2018 and completed it in June 2018 in Singapore. The design went through several iterations and changes to ensure its functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The Simple Code II Saphire has been recognized for its outstanding design and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interface, Interaction, and User Experience Design category in 2020. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that demonstrate technical and creative excellence while contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its unique combination of style, functionality, and readability, the Simple Code II Saphire is a must-have smartwatch face for those who appreciate modern design and convenience.
