Unfortunately the answer will be other companies chose aesthetic over functionality, they don’t have the boldness apple do to go against the norm which was of course circular watches.

What you said is true but still wouldn't explain why Apple went AGAINST popular custom and made a rectangular face

@@adegbenroagoro5180 Functionality would be the top reason in suspect, secondarily apple obviously love to stand out. Win win for them

Samsung Watch has a rotating bezel

@@adegbenroagoro5180 I think it does. Apple try to let Function dictate the Form. Others prefer Form over Function. There is no benefit to a circular screen other than to imitate a traditional wrist worn device. These devices are watches in name only.

Yeah I see it more beautiful like that

You misspelled iconic with generic. There is nothing iconic about a square watch

@@AndreVictorGoncalves actually it’s Apple iconic 😉

@@AndreVictorGoncalves In what world are you living in? Circular watches are by far more common than square and rectangular watches.

True

Yes 👍 most likely ._.

Idk what to say rn

you can very easily make circular pcbs

that wasn't true ~10 years ago though

It makes sense from an aesthetic look. It already is going to be difficult to match Apple Watch functionality. Maybe it makes most sense to go with the aesthetic separator. Apple's complete control of the vertical integration is arguably paying off most with the Watch. It answers why even Samsung and Google related tech sites talk of 'why can't they make a really good Apple Watch competitor'. It isn't because they don't have good people/engineering and they are not trying, it is that Apple's singular control of the ecosystem. Top functionality for a Watch relies on the smartphone. iPhone-AppleWatch currently has a built in vertical integration advantage that will be tough to beat for the foreseeable future.

Damn MJR comments here, awesome !!! Im a big Fan of your channel \../

Its more of the UI experience. And honestly it makes the screen looks smaller compared to the apple watch. This is why samsung use rotating bezel

From the first look , pixel watch has way too thick bezels almost similar to series 1

Also… 7) What differentiates apps limited to that run on both iOS or MacOS vs. those that don’t? And related… 8) contrast (pros/cons) of these cross-platform apps vs. companion apps (iOS & MacOS versions) that merely share user-data seamlessly.

how about why apple uses child slaves in china

he already made videos on the macbook failing, apple before steve jobs return and i think hackintosh

Like the older style longer videos

@@gr8dvd ik the answer to some of these questions the iPhone has a 12 mp camera because more than 12 wouldn’t necessarily be usable as software would struggle to harness all that the sensor captures for example look at the Samsung galaxy s20 ultra it had over 120 mega pixels but people found when you took pictures it would simplify that 120 down to 12 megapixels infact the later Samsungs downgraded the megapixels of the sensor as 120 was simply impossible to harness at the time. As for the 2015 to 2017 MacBook failing that would be a result of them departing from what made the MacBook THE MacBook they got rid of ports making versatility harder added scissor keys which we all know how that ended up and focused on making it thin and more aesthetically pleasing instead of making it functional at the same time. And apple before Steve Jobs return or after they kicked him out was failing they struggled to make products consumers could connect to and they overall weren’t as dominant and as innovative as they use to be until they bought “next” computers and repositioned Steve.

Pixel Watch doesn't cut off text.

The KZfaqr just showed it in the video.

@@CamcorderHomeVideos that’s an assumption

@@hoover1150 It doesn't cut off text in the photos they showed. But maybe they were only showing the ones where it isn't.

@@CamcorderHomeVideos yeah let’s wait for an actual product to be shipped and not go off of pictures of a product that’s still like a year away.

I find the rotating dial reminiscent of the iPod scroll wheel, really cool. But then, it’s not efficiently using screen space due to the round shape. Notice how big android watches tend to look compared to Apple Watch due to the bigger form factor needed to provide similar screen estate.

@@damnfreakingsien In my opinion, we are not going to use watch like phone. We are going to use it glance so having rotating dial to use it with ease is much important rather than having more space to look at. I like round and not too much but big watches. And rotating bezel with haptic feedback gives pleasant experience. Mostly things taken care by google assistant so don't think atleast rights now there is too much to look at on watch. If video media consuming become the term then definitely circular display will be problematic.

Because it's easy to shape square watch than round watch! Facts! That's why round watch look more elegant & more pleasant in the eye compared to square/rectangular watch.

@@renegadepuppy I don't know what you got with my answer. I never said smart watches are not required. We are discussing it's shape. I didn't used apple watch on my wrist but I use samsung Watch 4. So I'm well aware about smartwatches. But use case of smartwatch, phone, laptop and desktop is different. So I only said that I don't feel to read too much info on watch or even until we will not start consuming videos on it, we will not require square shape. As our use of smartwatch is limited. I never said it doesn't add any value. I also like smartwatches but we can't use them like phone.

@@JEEVANMARATHE but the contents on a watch is going to display information similar to what’s on a phone. Things like weather, notifications, or even just music. content is either gonna get cut, or there’s gonna tons of dead space. And no I don’t think video streaming will come to a watch, it’s too small XD

Its funny how iFans never mention that is the reason why Samsung dropped the square for the round. But whatever makes you feel good i guess. Apple is always last to the party but likes to take credit for planning the party.

@@charlescdt6509 No you’re wrong. Using a separate dial called Digital Crown allows it mimic the functionality of a traditional watch. Which traditional watch has a rotating bezel? When Apple made the Apple Watch square shaped people criticised it for not being round like a traditional watch. Yet when Apple Watch has a Digital Crown like the dial of an analog watch, people like you are saying that Samsung Galaxy Watch is better because of a rotating bezel, something which doesn’t resemble an analog watch.

@@charlescdt6509 Apple literally pioneered the smartwatch market, fanboy. And your excuse does not address any of the criticisms in this video. An OS can’t fit a round display without wasting huge amounts of space and being a headache for developers, which is why Tizen/WearOS has no third party support. Who would want to develop apps for a round display, just how inefficient is that.

@@arandomhumanbeing2464 Go look up who made a watch fist then get back to me dummy.

@@aninditabasak7694 Many traditional watches have rotating bezels, it's absolutely wrong to say the opposite. Rolex, Breitling, just to mention a couple. The taditional watch shape is round, like a galaxy watch classic, no arguing against that.

This. The example shown in this video from a google watch was just a poor example. Moving the button elements to be around the edge in a curving motion would free up a lot of space and purhaps allow a message to be even bigger than what is possible on the square display as the width of a circular watch can be wider than a rectangular display on a watch. I think Apple just did a rectangular display to develop a distinctive look, not because of its design benefit. A functional circular display is 100% possible. Id look at my garmin fenix 6s I wear and argue it makes very good use of its circular design. Even if thats a bit of a apple to oranges example.

I doubt they'll ever make a non rectangular watch. It's already part of their branding in a way, like the iphones camera layout, it's iconic and it's a way of recognizing their products

@@nachorodriguez145 right, but I imagine that there could be a way for them to change things up. With the upcoming Apple Watch X for example or something else.

Better stop calling it a watch then.

@@imeshumayanga7967 You wear it on your wrist, so it's still a watch... It's just not a traditional watch, that's why it's called a smart watch.

That’s a generational difference really, I’m young enough for the Apple Watch’s shape to feel much more natural

@@imeshumayanga7967 Or wear a traditional watch.

Well, I love the rounded smartwatches because of it looks and functionality. I can wear it with any clothes and still look gentle and classy but I'll stupid with that bold and squared one especially with coat. And if you haven't owned a rounded smartwatch before you won't know how good it is. I have a 42mm watch 4 and I don't have problem reading text on it or chatting on it.

@Mauricio: Hey 2 Mauricio’s don’t make a right!

Honestly it's fine As he points out in the video you basically cut off the sides. Really you're only looking at the info in a square section. The other thing is what exactly do you do on a smart watch? It's basically for at a glance notifications, or quickly see how many steps you've done. I have an lte galaxy watch 4, can this replace my phone no of course it can't. But its quite useful to use a long side.

@@mykeday good point

If you didn’t already know all things mentioned, just from common sense alone, then I worry for you.

Yes even card boxes 📦 (Not a joke, the box of the Mac Studio is over engineered with the bottom of the box absorbing the shocks)

And redesign WatchOS entirely just for that? That’d be a terrible user experience Apple doesn’t want to get associated with.

same i got my iphone in august and got series 7 with it, it looks so nice i like it way more than gw 4

I assume its an old ipod attached to the wrist

we dont even know what the pixel watch can do yet, so thats a fanbody certified statement. it looks beautiuful but we dont even know what the watch can do yet so cope

Their watch ? No…

I mean actual apples

Apples are round. Apple Inc. products are all squares, boxes and rectangles. Maybe Apple comes from a world where apples are square? LOL

I think he took the design of the pixel watch to do the video

@@rayana5932 that makes sense.

good for you

Wahahahah

why would you do that?

@@rick_terscale1111 Then why do people want a circular smartwatch? It’s a digital computer on your wrist with a digital screen which makes no sense for it to be circular. It’s called a watch because you wear it on your wrist. And by the way some traditional analog watches are also square in design.

Because it doesn't sell anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's kinda obvious. Who buys an iPod these days. Everyone is buying smartphones and iPhones. Some people use music via their Apple Watch and other smart watches. Many people are streaming music content these days, therefore no need to have a device that stores music. The times have changed. The technology has changed. The times have changed because the technology has changed.

For me the circular design looks beautiful when off. As soon as you display content, the rectangular screen is much better

Damn we really gonna bring about skynet just to get some better devices

Apple apparently sells around 30-40m apple watches every year. I would say smartwatches have definitely taken off

totally agree , i bought an older galaxy for this reason. i just want something that looks cool

Don’t believe those goddamn idiots who spreads fake rumours.

Round watches have the trade off of having a smaller effective screen area since digital information is displayed rectangularly. Would like a smartphone, tablet, laptop or TV with a circular screen?

The Samsung watch definitely doesn’t have a great OS. It has all the drawbacks explained here.

if it was so great, why dont they sell that well

A square watch that has round watch faces.... LOL

It’s not about being lazy. It’s about efficiency and optimisation and also keep in mind developers will need to reorganise all their app interfaces to suit a circular display. So more work for developers. Also for consumers having to learn a different way to do things. Apple Watch is like a shrunken iPhone so you know how to use it straight away

They create a rectangular watch but then put round watch faces on it. LOL. Go figure!

@@rick_terscale1111 Yes absolutely. Apple please make a circular iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac and Studio Display. I’ll instantly buy them even if would need to sell my house for them.

It’s better for text and gives more display size

“Think Different” Yes they really do.

@@jamesdriver0317 No they don't. Apple are no long about thinking different. They are "think same".... from Apple Watch, to Apple TV, from iPhone to iMac, from iPad Pro to AirPods Ma to MacBook... ALL their devices are the same, squared off, boxy designs. Our bodies are rounded, therefore wearables should be rouned. Apple products are designed in .... North Korea. :P

A rectangle is a square but a square is not a rectangle. The op still right. A square doesn’t necessarily have to be a shape with 4 equal sides and angles. It can also just be a quadrilateral shape

@123 U got it reversed. Every square is a rectangle but not every rectangle is a square. A square by definition needs 4 equal sides.

@@Northsyde21 it seems like i did get it in reverse thanks for the correction

The earth is round... you know, like a pizza.

I think they just need to make the keyboard better

LOL ... funniest comment I've read in a long time. 🤣😂

That’s not perfect. That has many trade offs. Digital UI is designed for rectangular screens, not circular.

And Fitbit smartwatches are also rectangular.

Agreed!! Apple should test the market. Produce a round faced Apple Watch for a couple of years and see how the sales go. I mean they chopped and changed the design of the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle numerous times in the past, so it shouldnt be an issue for Apple to do the same with Apple Watch, to try out a round watch face. If sales are good then they can continue with it. If sales are bad then they can cancel it. The video states that Apple has 29% of the market. But a serious company, a trillion dollar company, should be setting their goals high and aiming for say 60% of the market. And if they want that 60% share of the market then they should be able to reach that target simply by creating a watch that those who prefer round watch faces want. Apple have all that money yet they're not willing to trying something different???? Whatever happened to "think different"? Now they are "think same!". All their devices are now sqaured up, rectangular, boxy devices. From the forthcoming MacBook Air to the current iPhone to the AirPods Max to the iMac and Apple TV..... all boxes.
