With the surge in smartwatch popularity, presenting diverse data on a compact screen poses significant challenges. Previous research has primarily focused on the visual design of smartwatch faces, with limited exploration into how information interacts with users. Moreover, these studies have inadequately addressed interaction and practicality in information visualization. Our work analyzed 518 Huawei and 435 Facer smartwatch faces, synthesizing existing design elements and integrating insights from prior literature to propose a structured design framework that encompasses five key dimensions: content, composition, style, interaction, and practicality. This comprehensive framework not only addresses the visual and functional aspects but also emphasizes the importance of user engagement and individual preferences. By providing detailed guidelines, our framework aims to enhance the interaction, usability, and overall user experience of smartwatch face information visualization, paving the way for more effective and user-centric designs.
随着智能手表的普及，在紧凑的屏幕上呈现多样化的数据带来了重大挑战。以往的研究主要集中在智能手表表盘的视觉设计上，对信息与用户如何交互的探索有限。此外，这些研究在信息可视化中的交互性和实用性方面处理得不够充分。我们的工作分析了518款华为和435款Facer智能手表表盘，综合现有的设计元素，并整合先前文献中的见解，提出了一个结构化的设计框架，该框架涵盖五个关键维度：内容、构图、风格、交互和实用性。这个全面的框架不仅解决了视觉和功能方面的问题，还强调了用户参与度和个人偏好的重要性。通过提供详细的指导方针，我们的框架旨在增强智能手表表盘信息可视化的交互性、可用性和整体用户体验，为更有效和以用户为中心的设计铺平道路。
