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.Tbh I never notice the bezels on my s9 and even have it in aluminium. See also: my iPhone.
The trick is not to use any of the faces with a saturated filled in background.
Tbh I’d prefer apple to do a round watch as the dream of making the watch a mini iPhone with apps on your wrist is gone.
People want the time, complications, notifications, workout & health tracking and Siri (if it worked properly).
So let’s have beautiful Swiss watch industry inspired faces on a round screen please.
