Galaxy S6 edge smartwatch concept brings Samsung's curvaceous design langauge to wearables

Samsung's smartphone line has reaped the benefits of a completely new take on design. The Galaxy S6 and, in particular, the S6 edge, have been lauded for their premium aesthetics, something Samsung products have supposedly the past. The launch of the Galaxy Tab S2 suggests that Sammy's slate design efforts are right on the money, but what about wearables? Samsung has rolled out an abundance of smartwatches despite the fledgling state of the emerging product category, but none have really wowed audiences with regards to design.

The folks at Maform Design Studio have a few ideas of where Samsung could go in the future, though, lifting elements of the Galaxy S6 edge to come up with a smartwatch rivalling the Apple Watch for looks. A mere concept it may be, but given that the Galaxy Note 5 will almost certainly become a curvier, more stylish phablet, and there's scope for a future wrist computer to follow suit.

Take a look at the images below of the concept, and let us know in the comments whether you'd like to see Samsung -- and indeed the wider smartwatch market -- take this kind of direction in terms of finish.

Mezmerize... So Samsung is capable to pull something like this? I just remember their older smartwatch is far from beautiful. This is great! Good job Sammy.

This is not by Samsung... it's just a concept made by a design studio.

I don't like it. They just took the 6s edge and made a micro version attached to your wrist... lack of creativity, for a design studio. The fact that a given design (like the edge) is beautiful in a phone does not mean that it will remain beautiful when you shrink it.

You come across like you're somehow hurt by this. I bet you can come up with a better concept hey. Please share your design with us. Get over it, people here seems to love the concept.

Yes because you've seen something bettet? Apple 200BN cash hoarse and watching other devices being made for 2 years came and basically offer less for more money. Which is why it's a flop too.

This above has mistique, has a nice design. It's not a shrunken S6 at all. I would say it looks far more elegant in design.

Samsung could actually make this while others would make some fake expensive Mucked a mouse watch. This above looks like a very nice piece of jewelry and very doable.

You sound as if you can do better? If so give us something to buy. Other than that it sounds like you are a hater of good design.

What if this isn't just a concept, and they shock us on the 13th. I'd buy that.

"They just took the 6s edge and made a micro version attached to your wrist... lack of creativity, for a design studio" this i agree with... they have did the same thing Apple did, a complete stolen idea.

They created a smart watch that looks similar and matches its current flagship (a mini s6 if you like). Not only that but its shape looks like an apple watch but with a curved display. yet no hate? pretty impressive how blind these fanboys are.

Yep same like apple watch

They just used design from their previous watch with side curves.

And btw this is a concept so dont take it too hard.

Its nothing like the Gear S, the Gear S is large and curved...the design of this concept follows Apple Watch.. its looks like an apple watch but with curved display.

It follows its own design but now curves are on the sides rather than on upper and lower side.

Do you even own a Gear S like my brother?, it isnt that close to these concept photos. xD

Its far closer to my Apple Watch.
