2.2 Stakeholders
The users of the Casio G-Shock are everyday people who wish to keep track of time. The
current interface causes frustration and headaches as most features, however elementary,
require help from the instruction manual.
2.3 User-Experience Goals
The following user-experience goals are listed listed in order of importance:
Intuitive
-
With a device like a watch, most users will expect to perform at least the simple
tasks like setting the time without having to flip through the manual.
Maximum functionality
-
Digital watches are expected to have more functionality than just
keeping time. The interface must allow for maximum usefulness
without becoming too complex.
Compact
-
The interface must be as small as possible to ensure that it fits on a user’s wrist.
Style
-
Watches have become fashion accessories as well as timekeeping devices and
as such, the interface must be somewhat visually appealing.
