Round every day

[-] patatas_king@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] neuroticsmurf@alien.top 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.

[-] designer_by_day@alien.top 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

[-] 869066@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Extreme_Peach3201@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A round dial but not that round dial.

[-] Famous_Ant_2825@alien.top 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

[-] fast_albin@alien.top 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.

[-] BigBoyObi-Wan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] 251Cane@alien.top 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.

[-] Pawnderingsoil@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Round any day . Wish Tim Apple makes one for me

[-] wheelsfallingoff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pixel Watch already exists and is excellent!

[-] vanhalenbr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Acornish17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Xeyron_17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Personally I like to be cuddled

[-] bboylilou2016@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The square one of course

[-] Xeyron_17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[-] That_guy_will@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] MysticPaul97_YT@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] TennesseeWhisky@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Maleficent-Wall62@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Honda_TypeR@alien.top 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.

[-] TendieTrades@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BabyBourbon1111@alien.top 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

[-] Bittersweetblossom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oddly the square dial.🤷‍♂️

[-] Ok_Presentation2012@alien.top 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.

[-] ethanomnom@alien.top 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.

[-] TheKrnJesus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Lower_Fan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not a watch guy so square for the functionality

[-] lopuxilo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[-] Xx_memelord69_xX@alien.top 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.

[-] wheelsfallingoff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Round. Square is so damn ugly.

[-] PooleyX@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Easily the square.

[-] DogzillaMD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Square for function, circle for fashion.

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

[-] 1AMA-CAT-AMA@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ERO_Reddit_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[-] stuckpixel87@alien.top 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.

[-] Ryfhoff@alien.top 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.

[-] pixeley88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The square Casios!!

[-] eirigance@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I prefer round, but have square cuz Apple 🙄

[-] Templar388z@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Square is more aesthetically pleasing for a smart watch.

[-] smoukey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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