Google's Answer to the Apple Watch Leaks in a Closer Look Ahead of Official Reveal

[thejadedmonkey]

I wish Apple would make a round watch. And instead of a crown, give us a jog wheel like the original iPod used. That's be fantastic.

 

[the 12th Doctor]

if you can't beat them, copy them

who exactly are they copying?

 

[ProfessionalFan]

It’s a nice design study on the apple watch. Maybe still a little rough around the edges.

I'm trying to find the edges but all I can find is more bezel

 

[Rafterman]

It looks cheap to me.

 

[the 12th Doctor]

Android Wear, Google wear whatever they are naming it now is a joke and always has been. I had the LG G watch, the Moto 360 and a few others. It has never been a cohesive experience like WatchOS. This will crumble

 

[ProfessionalFan]

It looks cheap to me.

Well the rumored prices aren't, they are close to the price of the Apple Watch Series 8. I agree it looks cheap though with the giant bezels and lack of information on the screen.

An “answer” to the Apple Watch the same way the Pixel phone is an answer to the iPhone. It will be a great technical product at a discount price that few people will use.

You didn’t really want to read that conversation did you? Here, you can read a sentence 3/4 of a sentence.

Those bezels are massive, if they were to remove as much as possible and go edge to edge it would be a nice deign. As it as it looks terrible.

Being generous with 3/4.

I actually like the design a lot.

I wonder if a round watch would look bigger on the wrist than a rectangular one.

 

[DailySlow]

Or...

 

[Coochie Boogs]

Not sure about the software for this, but I like the design of the watch itself. I think they got that part right at least from initial reaction.

 

[IsaacM]

Ewwwwwww unless this is priced at $49x it’s not worth it

A massive bezel is a good design?

 

[gaximus]

We don't know that it has a bezel that big, it could be software bezel, it looks like a soft edge. But it probably does have bezels that big, or the marketing team screwed up big time.

 

[azentropy]

Makes me really glad the Apple Watch isn’t circular.

Nah, I really wish there was a circular Apple Watch option at least.

 

[theadz01]

Wow, let's just take everything from the Apple Watch and just make it round. No attempt to even try make it different

Those are bezels

 

[mwickens]

The bands look familiar.🙄 But worse.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Jeez those bezels are THICC

And the world of Android users just had their heads popped off. Lol

THIS is Google answer to Apple Watch?!?

Where is the animated ROFLMAO emoji that I can use for this article?! No disrespect to the article writer nor to macrumors but it’s intended to Google.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

The bands look familiar.🙄 But worse.

I mean, they are watch bands. I think some stuff is copied but we're talking about watch bands here.

 

[Sleix]

Jeez those bezels are THICC

Well, that definitely made my leap out of the android world feel a lot more justified. They made it look way better than it truthfully was. Time to set my sights on getting the Watch Ultra...at least the 49mm is mostly screen on that compared to pixel's sad attempt.

 

[deckard666]

Pretty hard to recommend with googles' past record of support AND if you have an iPhone not a hope...

 

[0924487]

Does it have AdSense built in?
