GPS — GPS Obsessed

GPS Concept Designs: Seek Wristwatch

by Justin

Scrap your Rolex people. This is the 21st century and thus you should be wearing a watch with a 21st century design. Kind of like this one designed by Jukka Roitto, Miska Vaisanen, and Jordan Siegler aptly dubbed Seek. The strange looking wrist watch combines built-in GPS with music playback, so we sure hope it’s solar-powered or battery life could be an issue. Otherwise, the Seek looks like a convenient touchscreen device that’ll help you navigate your way to you choice of urban hotspots.
