This design looks pretty bad on arm. On a shelf (image pictured) it doesn’t look that bad but on arm it was a different story. If Apple goes this route I hope they make it A LOT THINNER.

I like the square look especially if it can provide a larger screen. Cant see Apple going this way though looks like a step back in time over the curved versions we have now.
Like it or loathe it, it's happening. The CAD files have been leaked. All the rumors point to this being the basic design. It's been all over this site. Of course, nothing is 100 percent at this point, but the odds lean heavily to this design.
 
If you look at the actual leaked renders you can see that the watch is way thinner than digital crown but here on the "clones" watch is thicker than a digital crown so those clones a rubbish! don't worry guys apple ones will be way thinner

If you compare the distance between the oval shaped button and the edges, youd find that this is proportionally very similar to the current watches. The reason it looks thicker is becuse the curves on the current model give an illusion of thinness. This new design doesn't hide the thickness at all.
 
I just looked at my watch and the bands come off the watch at an angle downwards to guide along the wrist. This is not a clone of an actual design.

This is a thoughtless mock-up.
 
Looks like the edges would dig into the arm a bit at certain angles, not sure I like it. I hope that Apple does not really go this direction.
 
The one thing I really hope Apple ditches with the next Watch design, are the rounded edges of the glass / sapphire screen. If they want to have more design parity with the iPhone and iPad, they need to get the glass level with the case. It will help reduce scratching and provide a bit more classic watch look to the Watch. I would think it would improve efficiency in production too.

I love the flat design more than what I initially thought, but this need to be way thinner. The stainless steel seems beautiful, but I don’t want a brick on my wrist
 
DAMNNNNN, Series 7, you looking THICCCC, baby. Lol.

Apple’s version will 100 percent not have nearly as much junk in the trunk.

What do these knockoffs run anyway? If it's not WatchOS any buyer will immediately know it's fake when they turn it on, so I wonder what they put on there to sell them.
