why round screen?
everyone understand rect shape screen can be better utilized. can use the space at corners, along the edge efficiently
can the manufacturerers be a bit more practical?

I wonder if these watches will have that outside bezel touch thing. I think it's Google's Project Soli.

OMHO Google should rely only on software and services. They should left the hardware components to others like HTC Samsung etc.
Am sure these smartwaches and Pixels phone will be bigger failure to them.

I wonder if Google's Project Soli is on these new watches. That would be really cool if it did.

Your not smart, you can't last a week without food.
Your phone is not smart enough also.. it dies in 1 or 2 days.
Your PC is super dumb, it dies once it get plug out.

Android wear definitely needs some boost from mothership Google. The OEMs ran out of ideas already. Samsung already decided to do tizen. Asus/LG don't even care anymore. Huawei didn't even bother to include ambient light sensor on theirs (yeah user have to adjust brightness manually). The only decent one is Moto 360, and Lenovo is bored with it already. It shows that the OEMs are losing direction. If Google wants to remain relevant in the wearable game, they need to do something.
