Heat on the wrist is a silent problem. Sweat under the strap, discomfort when typing, and that sticky feeling that ruins any day. A developer has presented a concept that promises to end this: a wristwatch that integrates a centrifugal fan under the dial. The mechanism draws in accumulated hot air and expels it outward, creating a constant airflow that keeps the skin cool and dry. All without modifying the watch's exterior design.
The Micro Centrifugal Fan and Its Integration into the Dial 🕶️
The system uses an 8 mm diameter motor that spins a rotor with curved blades, similar to a miniature hand dryer. Air enters through a side grille in the case, passes through a 2 mm high channel, and exits through a diffuser oriented away from the wrist. The airflow reaches 0.5 liters per second with a noise level of 25 dB. The 80 mAh battery offers two hours of continuous operation and is recharged inductively. The mechanism does not interfere with the watch's movement, which remains a standard quartz.
Now You Can Show Off a Dry Wrist at the Office 😅
Imagine the scene: you're in an endless meeting, your boss is talking about synergies, and with a subtle gesture, you activate your watch's fan. A faint hum, and your colleagues start looking at your wrist with envy. The problem is that the air blows directly into the face of the person next to you. Soon you'll have to choose between a cool wrist or keeping your friends. But hey, at least your leather straps will stop smelling like gym sweat.
