I really need Samsung’s Proxima phone/watch concept to become a reality, as I honestly cannot afford to lose another iPhone. A collaboration with California-based designer Johan Loekito, Samsung Design America’s Proxima concept is a mobile phone that you attach to your wrist on a watch-like band, so you will never misplace it.

Part of Fossil’s new Invasion collection, the stark black and white wristwatches are incredibly sharp in design with clean faces save for tiny hour numerals.

Their Timeframes collection runs a wide gamut, including some watches that share both digital and analog faces with others that use a futuristic LED interface. One of their best new designs, above, […]
