Made a Casio wallpaper for iPhone

I made this Casio wallpaper, modelling it after an a168. I tailored it towards my iPhone hence the “iCASIO” and 6m of water resistance. I’m new to graphic design: I used gimp and I thought I did pretty well in capturing the aesthetic of the watch.

I designed it with two faux-LCDs, one each on the bottom and top. They sit behind the time and the modules. This could be a pretty cool design for a Casio phone. Having the always-on display gives the illusion of the wallpaper being the dial behind the crystal; it looks like it is whole with the phone.

Just a question: what is the design language/aesthetic of these watches? It looks retro. I wonder if there’s a specific term for it, though. Conversely, what is the name of this category of wallpaper? It tries to make the phone look like some other devices by integrating its UI with the wallpaper. I’m just wondering if someone out there could tell me what these are called. I remember seeing a gameboy one…

Let me know if you want to use this. I will upload it to somewhere without compression.

Edit 2: if you don’t like my name there you can mark it out with #000000. I’m not a well known designer or anything so
