The iWatch is still a riddle wrapped in a mystery. Fortunately, a growing number of designers have drawn up their own fantasy designs, some of which are smart, eye-catching and a lot more interesting than the latest gossip from an anonymous parts manufacturer in China. Here are five designs that may help fill that little iWatch-shaped hole in your heart. **Classic –** Netherlands-based designer [Nermin Hasanovic](http://nerminhasanovic.nl/iWatch/iWatch.html "undefined") kept all of the classic features, right down to the little turn-dial for mechanical hands, while revamping the watch face with clean, solid colors that are immediately recognizable as Facebook blue, iMessage green and iCalendar white.  **Really Classic** – Steampunks, your prayers have been answered with this pocket iWatch on a gold chain, compliments of designer [Leonardo Zakour](https://www.behance.net/gallery/16801381/Smart-Pocket-Watch "undefined") in Germany.  **Blindingly Cute** – From Texas-based designer [Edgar Rios](https://www.behance.net/gallery/16030209/Concept-iWatch "undefined"), a watch that you could practically eat.  **Seamless** – Credit goes to Berlin-based designer [Thomas Bogner](https://dribbble.com/shots/1280333-iWatch-Mock-Up?list=searches&tag=iwatch&offset=0 "undefined") for eliminating the watch face entirely and embedding the screen in a seamless wristband. Just one problem: the text scrolled vertically. Todd Hamilton in San Francisco right-sided the text and debuted his design, one of the slickest ones to date, in an [animated video](http://vimeo.com/84381995 "undefined") that nearly brings the iWatch fantasy to life. [iWatch Concept](http://vimeo.com/84381995 "undefined") from [Todd Hamilton](http://vimeo.com/toddham "undefined") on [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com "undefined"). **Boxy But Good** – Designer [Martin Hajek](http://www.martinhajek.com/portfolio/iwatch-problems/ "undefined")‘s incarnation of the iWatch and iWatch C mimic the design cues of the current iPhone range (metal on the high end, plastic on the low).
