Chosen Design

After looking at the advantages and disadvantages of each design, I have chosen to create my second design as it outweighs the first design for the following reasons:

• Firstly, it has many more advantages. For example, it is waterproof as opposed to my first design and Anannya had said that being unable to use her wristband underwater is a problem. Therefore, as it suits the needs of more athletes, it is a better choice. 

• Additionally, the camera option in my second design is much better than my first design as it is a small webcam that can later be accessed using a computer (from the USB option) rather than a large go pro that will be heavy and uncomfortable to use.

• Also, the display is bigger as the wristband is wider and the screen itself is larger due to having more space. This means that the user will not need to use a stylus as well as that would be very inconvenient when doing exercise and sports.

• Moreover, the size is adjustable as opposed to my first design which could be bought in the sizes small, medium and large. Therefore, it may not be suitable for the wrists of many people and be uncomfortable. That is why the adjustable wristband is a much better idea.

• Another advantage is that the wristband in my second design has an option to time activities using the stopwatch unlike my first design. This can be very useful for sports such as circuit training and matches so that the athlete does not require a separate stopwatch or large device.

• Furthermore, the disadvantages that my second design has are much less and not huge problems. The only things are that the LED circle display is smaller than my first design due to lack of space, however, people can overcome that issue. Also, it may be slightly heavier than my first design but it has many more options that are far more important and even though it is heavier, it is not heavy enough to cause a problem when performing physical activities.
