Honestly the Samsung 8 is what I would have envisioned for a round face Apple. Sleek, machined aluminum and/or SS with a titanium option while still maintaining an Apple-esque machined body. I've seen the Samsung 8 and it is a head turner.

I’d get an ultra 3. And if the U4 is something that you want, trade it in and get the U4.
Yep. That’s why Apple sales are in the toilet and you never see anyone wearing an Apple Watch. Stock price has plummeted, mass layoffs, company on the verge of bankruptcy.
Tragic.
These are rumors, not official announcements.
Sigh. It’s always next year. I’m sick and tired of these kinds of clickbait articles that get recycled ad nauseam.
It is funny, we always see these rumors.
Careful, I’ve had my account restricted in the past for comments like this that criticize the editorial approach.
I'm gonna get my first one soon; either the alleged SE3, or the Series 10 if it goes on discount once 11 shows.
We changed the bezel again. You can now see six more pixels, it's truly stunning.
Personally glad I haven’t felt like I’ve needed to upgrade my S8. Also good for more time to go by between first purchase and upgrade time. I was originally unsure if the watch is tech or jewelry. After some years, I’d say definitely tech given how Apple trashed the OS and the battery degradation.
rumors of a “big redesign next year” and then ultimately nothing happens. Take with a pinch of salt
We all have unique desires but Anti-bezel desires are always so interesting to me. How much bezel is enough? How little is enough? How about zero bezels? Frameless, all glass Apple Watch? Zero protection. How about cars with no fenders and no doors. All glass iPhones with no edges so it’s impossible to add a case. Pictures on the wall with no decorative frame, as it could be argued, the frame offers no functional value. Why do we ever bother with crown moulding in a nicely designed living room? As bezels on a watch or Phone add functional structural integrity and provide something for the glass to be attached to, how can “less bezels next year” be so desired each year?
Fun fact, while the AW 10's bezels do look bigger, with the frame bezels included, the AW10 has 3% smaller bezels.
I'd like to know how. Remember all those rumors of a flat-faced Apple Watch Series 7 way back in 2021 that all the leakers got TOTALLY wrong? Gawd, I hope we don't go through those shenanigans again.
