We’ve seen so many iWatch concepts that at this point we really just wish would Apple to show their cards, but here’s a concept of a traditional wristwatch we wouldn’t mind them aping a few features from.

Gábor Balogh says he was tired of all the super geeky looking iWatch concepts, so he whipped up this clever beauty that features modern smartwatch features re imagined in a classic, traditional analog watch way.

The face of the watch has a pushable bezel for navigation and touch screen for interaction, allowing the contemporary face to subtly adjust to new tasks so that applications only appear when paired to your smartphone.

Balogh’s concept would feature health functions that Apple is rumored to be working on with the iWatch and the ability to read incoming messages, but you’ll have to bust out your iPhone to write a text as Siri isn’t included.

A stopwatch app is included in the features as well as small basic navigation.

Using the compass would feel more natural than on your smartphone and it can keep you updated on calendar events throughout the day.
