For any new hardware released, the software and UI design within makes or breaks the product. As much as we hate poorly designed mobile UI, we are attracted to UI that work smoothly, are well thought-out and look beautiful when being used.

There are many talented designers out there who are showcasing their take on smartwatch UI design. In this post, you will find 20 such examples. Some of these are concept designs for particular apps such as the weather app, clock app, music app and fitness apps, while others are complete reimaginings of existing UI.
