I think the question should be 'why are mechanical watches generally round?'. The hands rotate around a central axis which dictates a round shape. On a digital watch with a display for content, it's the display which dictates the shape and that is a rectangle.

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.

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.

I find the round watches more aesthetically pleasing. Also, the interface in the Samsung watches is pretty neat and uses the circular area quite cleverly.

Love ur vids! So simple and nice, but also, ur script is so fluid! The reasoning makes perfect sense! I always wondered why the Apple Watch was rectangular instead, now I know! Thx!

When I got my first Apple Watch a few months back , I thought it’s a pity apple doesn’t offer a round watch. Because from the aesthetics a round watch is far more appealing. But after this video I think it totally makes sense. I overestimated the possibilities of reformatting.

Now I understand... I never liked the square screen but I know that those with a round screen, like mine, have all the content well distributed...

This was one of the reasons I loved my pebble watches before switching to Apple Watch the rectangular display is also easier to read in my opinion

Great video, but could have emphasised more that it’s actually a rectangle, which gives it useful space for complications on the corners when using round analog faces

Okay, but what's stopping them from finding a way to develop a UI that takes advantage of the circular display without compromising on the user experience? I personally would like a round apple watch because the form factor as well as the functionality would be really cool. I definitely can see that maybe there are some things that could be lost in the translation from a rectangular display UI to a circular one, but I'd like for them to try.

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.

Your explanation actually makes sense because I’ve both an Apple Watch and also a Galaxy watch

I recently got samsung watch as I wanted round watch and I have android phone, I decided to create an app. The problem is the cordinate system used in all these frameworks are cartesian but for circular device what you need is a mix of both cartesian as well as polar coordinates system. Well, you can't have both so there will be lot of calculation based on the safe area available for various widgets so the RECT usually used in ui frameworks will be needed to replaced with more general Polygon and it introduces a lof of complications. Hence square watch. I have my round watch even though apps need to be specifically written for exact size.

I think it also has to do with user profiles. It is probably the case that Apple users view their smartwatches as extensions of their iPhones - so yes, for Apple users, it makes a lot of sense to have a square-shaped smartwatch. But I struggle to say the same about a Garmin user or even about a FitBit user. Those people want a WATCH (in a form factor that resembles what they see as a regular watch), but with features that make it smart. Personally, I find it very weird to read and send texts on my watch - I use my smartwatch (a Huawei, BTW) to track my sleep, my heart rate, my SpO2 and other health metrics. That is what I want out of it, not to use it as an extension of my phone (an S22 Ultra - I also have the Galaxy Watch 4, but the battery life is poor).

That’s beautiful Apple is Apple

I’m so happy Apple went with the square design, after owning a Apple Watch since the gen 1 I hate the look of the round Watch, I’m so used to the square design and love it

The rectangular display also makes the watch faces more unique, like when you use a watch face like meridian or california, it makes the shape of the clock look more unique, and even when you make the watch face circular it can still fit complications in the corners.

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.

the others companies that use round design usually implement a bigger screen size just to be able to fit the same info that Apple watch. So more points to Apple for actually knowing how to use the space in a smart way.

Other manufacturers tried to carry on a traditional watch's form, which only does one function, telling the time. The way the mechanics and so on work, its got to be a circle. The Apple Watch is a piece of tech, it doesn't need to use geometry and math to turn gears to show the time, it needs to show digital information. Said information has only ever been efficiently conveyed through square or rectangular displays.

As a Watch 4 classic user, i'd say that a rectangular screen would definetly be better for content, but damn that rotating bezel(which cannot be reproduced if its not round i think) is just so great to use, it pays me back 2-3 times at least.

Every single time I watch one of your videos an iPhone 14 ad always pops up

The big issue stems from trying to cram smartphone UI into a watch, and that’s why smart watches haven’t really taken off. Just like how PDAs were trying to cram a PC UI into a pocket device until the iPhone reinvented the UI for smart phones. Smart watches need to completely reimagine their design philosophy and I think improving AI assistants are the key to that.

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.

That's why apple design is perfect

I just come here to listen your voice . it's soo pleasing .

I never owned an Apple Watch until recently and i just love it. I have owned fitbits before but nothing really compares to the Apple Watch.

And Fitbit smartwatches are also rectangular.

First time I’ve actually got it! Thanks sir! Great job!!

As someone who used a Casio watch back inthe day, I Really apreciate the square shape of the Apple Watch.

Great explanation, thanks

Thanks for the info!

for me watch have to tell time, I do not need more. Mechanical watch with manual winding is what I use

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

i'm galaxy watch user, the rounded screen is here for a reason and i love it

To be honest, Apple Watch would just look weird as a circle

Can you do Why does the iPhone has slide to answer on Lock Screen

Thank for the info, it does makes sense.

Digital watches have been squared for decades. Like the Casio ones. But it’d nice to see a well made UI for round display. For example time at the top, buttons left and right, thus forming a squared area in the middle, perfect for text.

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

I just like the way circular watches look. But Apple is good on that it stands out compared to many competitors

Interesting video, I love my Garmin Venu SQ which is also rectangular, I considered an Apple watch but owning an Android phone, it is incompatible with an Apple watch so I went with the Garmin.

@@emaaddar5017 thats very subjective. I prefer apple watches but some people prefer Garmin. they make fabolous watches too. it honestly sounds like your trying to cope with something am i the only one noticing this

Also it would have been harder to add a side button on a round screen

Glad I came upon this video. Little details that matter but I never was aware of.

I have ideas of my own on how they can make everything work. And also not cutting any messages while scrolling. If only Apple can figure it out themselves.

It is easy to fit componets , battery, design chip in rectangular one.. rather than in circular

Thanks for the content!

I think round is also more comfortable, allowing your wrist to form around it more comfortably

It’s also kind of funny how I hear that most samsung users say they don’t see the use of a smartwatch (because they already have a regular watch), while almost every apple user I know has an apple watch because they are really interested in this type of technology

The pie chart at 1:46 shows a large gray “slice” of 43% not labeled. Who or what controls that share?

Prob just a bunch of smaller companies with a smaller than 4% share, but I’d also be interested to hear names
