The Apple Watch Series X is a quirky smartwatch that features a bigger folding screen. This allows you to use the watch as an iPhone. Your watch is capable of making phone calls. In that the Apple Watch Series X has a front screen and an inner screen, it is a regular folding device. Given the small size of the Apple Watch, the term &#8216;larger\u2019 is not something I would use. <\/p>\n<p>Designed to sit on your wrist, this foldable concept turns the square-shaped WatchOS interface into a more traditional landscape one, unlocking the possibility for a lot of regular apps to make their way onto the wristwatch, including better Netflix and YouTube watching experiences. <\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/andrewdawn\">Liquid Silicone<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-380891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1036\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/18\/absurd-apple-watch-concept-with-folding-display-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Absurd Apple Watch concept with folding display makes me question my sanity\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-380891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1036\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/18\/absurd-apple-watch-concept-with-folding-display-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Absurd Apple Watch concept with folding display makes me question my sanity\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"744b1215f1ac756319e73347-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"744b1215f1ac756319e73347-text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Series X watch concept has a unique design with a flat-edge that we had expected Apple to debut in 2021. The screen size remains the same, although a bridge on the left edge (with Apple&#8217;s branding) hides the folding mechanism (sort of like in Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Fold). Although you can still use your watch as is, the widescreen gives you better organization of elements, especially the fitness app. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-380892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/18\/absurd-apple-watch-concept-with-folding-display-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Absurd Apple Watch concept with folding display makes me question my sanity\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-380892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/18\/absurd-apple-watch-concept-with-folding-display-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Absurd Apple Watch concept with folding display makes me question my sanity\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Sure the idea for a foldable watch seems absurd at first, although if you think about it &#8211; this format isn&#8217;t new. Galaxy Z-Flip is the same, but with a square-shaped phone that can open into a vertical one. The Series X flips the template on its side. <\/p>\n<p>Is it logical for Apple to create a foldable smartwatch? HELL NO! Sure, a larger display on your wrist makes things better, but the scaling of the display, in this case, isn&#8217;t absolute, i.e., the larger display still has the same height as the smaller one. It would be much easier for Apple to release a foldable device if it were to use a display that is actually folding. Take this iPhone iPad hybrid as an example. A folding MacBook would be a great idea, but I&#8217;d also love to see it in this FlexBook format. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-380893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1036\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/18\/absurd-apple-watch-concept-with-folding-display-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Absurd Apple Watch concept with folding display makes me question my sanity\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-380893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1036\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/18\/absurd-apple-watch-concept-with-folding-display-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Absurd Apple Watch concept with folding display makes me question my sanity\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"744b1215f1ac756319e73347-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"744b1215f1ac756319e73347-text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5' style=\" margin: clear: both>\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/absurd-folding-apple-watch-concept-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/apple_watch_series_x_foldable_1.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/18\/absurd-apple-watch-concept-with-folding-display-makes-me-question-my-sanity\/?rand=374<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Absurd Apple Watch concept with folding display makes me question my sanity Finally, a large display for your wrist wearable.
