Round every day

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

For the purpose of replying / typing messages - Square all the way

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

Round looks nicer but square is more functional

​

So I'm going with square

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

A round dial but not that round dial.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square. More efficient and adapted for a smartwatch. Round is useless, yeah ok it’s closer to a real watch but a smartwatch will NEVER ever ever look as good as a real watch so it’s pointless

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

square is more functional, but a nice circle one that really looks like a watch is awesome

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

The round one looks better imo.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Round any day . Wish Tim Apple makes one for me

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Pixel Watch already exists and is excellent!

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

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The square one of course

I like Samsungs round face, I don’t like Googles

Square, even on normal watches. The circle is an absolute classic, but the Square feels more elegant overall. Also, it displays information better.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square for smartwatch, round for a watch… pretty logical..?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square dial for smartwatch. It’s not and efficient for the space on a watch

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I always wished apple would make a round watch

Round has the advantage of allowing a larger mm without looking as bulky on the wrist.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If Apple ever makes a round Apple Watch I’ll never buy it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square But it don’t matter cuz I became bored of it and stopped using it as I’m too lazy to charge it everyday

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oddly the square dial.🤷‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I personally have always loved big faces on watches. For traditional watches, I love round faces but for a smartwatch I love the shape and aesthetic of the ultra.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square.

Round for a smartwatch doesn’t make much sense in terms of displaying content. It’s already limited, and round further limits what you can show.

Usability wise, square is better. design wise, the circle is better.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not a watch guy so square for the functionality

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square. I feel like round smartwatches try to mimic analog watches by being round, but they never look like a normal watch. For me a round watch is in the uncanny valley. Looking kinda fake and therefore cheap, if that makes sense. While a square one looks like a computer on your wrist, not trying to fool anyone. Although i really like the rotating bazels on samsung watches, that was very cool.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Round. Square is so damn ugly.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Easily the square.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square for function, circle for fashion.

Circle screens SUCK for text. No current technology can make it not suck.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If apple made a round watch, I'd buy it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Used smartwatches from Motorola, Huawei, Samsung and Apple. AW is by far the most comfortable and is most information dense and usable.

Round ones look better tho.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’d say square. Our tv’s, phones , computers aren’t round. Isn’t the best way to display info on.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The square Casios!!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I prefer round, but have square cuz Apple 🙄

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Square is more aesthetically pleasing for a smart watch.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Only reason why im rocking some random watches. Cuz they are round. Apple is losing so much customers.
