      It’s strange to me that Apple makes a lot of form over function decisions (Magic Mouse is the first to come to mind) but with the watch they chose function over form.

        you look so stupid and naive when saying magic mouse charging port is located at a wrong place after all this time ! you barely use that port twice a year, shut up and don’t criticize it just to make yourself look smart ! get over it ! it’s been years now !

    I switch back and forth between my Apple Watch and my analog watches. So not having a round dial on a smartwatch doesn’t bother me at all.

    I’m taking brand loyalty out of it and saying Samsung’s round design. I desperately want a round Apple Watch.

    When using as a watch to look time and complications the round one looks much nicer. But if you open any app, even a simple app, you lose too much UI space on round design… and designers to their best but it’s just much more useful area on a square

    Round looks better but square is better for actually using the smart features

    I’m from a generation that grew up thinking of watches as fashion accessories, not functional extensions of our smartphones.

    Round watches are much prettier. I’ll always prefer a round watch to a square one.

      I mean, that’s still 90% of generations alive today lol. Certainly those that would even be wearing a watch anyway.

      square/rectangular watches are here since ages ! most luxurious watchmakers make square/rectangular watches and they are so damn popular ! it is not as apple watch design is new ! you are talking as if watches were only rounded before apple watch !!
