If Apple released an Apple Watch with a round display, maybe even adapting a new interface for the OS, would you want it? Even though I know the screen would be tiny, I think I would.
Got a tip for us?

Not on your nelly if the screen is smaller than the current models.
Obviously others would want a round watch, but that’s not even likely consideration at this point, not to mention, there’s really nothing indicative that Apple will be doing something like this in the future.
Apple products have always stood out. You can spot them in movies and commercials because they are different. When I'm watching a movie I can almost tell what Apple product that it. It's like that with cars and cameras that you see in movies. When Apple put a rear facing camera on their phones, you knew it was an iPhone. Thats why Apple has white headphones instead of your basic black.
I can't see Apple redesigning the Watch anytime soon.

I voted no. Still in the honeymoon I love you phase with AW4. It would take some really innovative updates to turn my head from this beauty.
That’s a good point about the bands if they would be compatible or not with a round watch versus the square watch. Knowing Apple, they probably would figure a way out for the bands to be compatible, but in the same respect, I could also see a different style band that would have to pair with a round watch. But again, it all depends on the design element, I’d say a round watch will be likely at some point in the future, but not anytime soon either.
Rather than making a round watch, I wish Apple offered square faces for the existing watch.
I like the watch as it is; I find that the square shape really suits it. But a round face on a square watch looks stupid to me.

i feel like a circle-shaped screen isn't as convenient as the square.
added to the fact that i own a ton of OEM Apple watch bands and if it won't be compatible its a double no

I would love to see a round watch but it would have to be a lot larger because I wouldn’t want to sacrifice screen size
Apple did apply for a patent for a round face last May so maybe they are working on a round watch

I'm gonna have to say no as others have said, you can pretty much instantly spot an Apple Watch on someones wrist. I feel part of that is because of it's 'signature design'

The only problem with patents, is they’re really not indicative of anything being released. Apple has quite a few patents over the years for products that never came to life, but in the least, but it shows they are considering venturing onto something beyond just the ‘square’ design.
It is a bit like passing on a yawn, you have now started a 'Mexican Wave' of eye rolling across the U.K...
As he did with the original iPod and the TFT iMac and the Macbook. I really can’t count them anymore. Gone through several a month for sure - per device. Man I’ve had money to burn. Those where the days. Everything was better because Jobs was alive.
You roll your eyes at fake news not facts bro. Can you hear me sigh all the way from England.
