Also, you literally took more than half of what I said and totally misinterpret it, so this isn't about intelligence, even the smartest peoples can understand improperly sentences as the languages is a conceptualization and simplification of the much more complex idea that the brain can generate, I just said you aren't really good at interpreting what other said, or at least what I wrote.
Also I never pretended to be mature, quite the opposite, I am a kid in a grown up adult.

I agree in one point: a round watch case will generally appeal a larger public. The design of the Apple Watch is as good as it can be with a rectangle screen, but it will never look like a classic watch. It is right that for some types of information a square screen makes more sense.
However, I don't agree that a watch with a round display has more surface area than one with a square screen. The diameter is NOT equal to the diagonal of the square display, and also not equal to the width. It is somewhere in between, so this argument is not valid.
I have tried several different round smartwatches and I chose them because they have a great design which actually looks like a real watch. And when I set a classic watchface, people often ask me about my watch and are then surprised that it is actually just a display. I like that.
Specially when using my favorite watch face, the Cronosurf Wave, I get that question. That could never happen with a square/rectangle display. Interestingly, I am in touch with the developer of Cronosurf Wave, and he told me, that even though many Apple Watch users are asking for this watch face, he will not even consider redeveloping it for Apple Watch because it would ruin the beautiful chronograph design.

Anonymous, 07 Jun 2020Your entire argument is nonsense.
Your example of the Ta... moreYour ability to understand simple sentences is well below the average.
First, I talked about the DESIGN of the tamagotchi, its body, not the display, and I explained that for such small devices/gadgets, a squarish appearance would have been way less aesthetic than a rounded one.
Second I didn't talked about squared analog watches, like not at all, but I did talked about squared numeric ones, they are less appealing and more importantly, less confortable to wear, just look at how many squared vs round(ed) watches there are.
Yes, except that, once again, for the same diagonal watch size, a rounded one allow for a larger display, so what you get is actually an ADDITIONAL part in the said cut off parts, so round displays actually allow to show more items of a list.
The argument hold true for the sides too, here is a visual exemple of that :
https://chainweavers.com/images/large/RoundSquareTwisted_LRG.jpg
No adjustments are required, those are just aesthetic design and not a requirement, a bent and 3D looking kind of list is well adapted design wise with a round watch, and this doesn't waste space, lists on smartwatches aren't long anyway, on the opposite it allow better readability of the main element and easier click for tactile as the area is larger.
Here you self destroy your own arguments, yes SOME LCD watches have square displays, because it is easier to make cheap squared than round displays, there isn't a requirement to have round display, what I talk about is how round body watches are way better than squared ones, in the Samsung Watch vs Apple Watch type, and if your arguments would be valid, there would be NO REASONS to make round watch with squared display, they would only make squared watches, but MOST (not "some") have round body still, and even the squared one aren't a 4 side shape but are 5, 6 or even 8 sided to get closer to a round watch while having a modern (back then) design with straight sides.
You can put a rectangle display on a round smartwatch I don't care, I would buy it anyday over a squared body watch, unlike LCD watches who only display a limited amount of informations, a round smartwatch take advantage of the round display to show more AND to mimick analog watch design with their face, which is a really popular thing.
Because they evolved from rectangle devices while watches evolved from round ones ?
Also because the size advantage of a watch on the wrist is TOTALLY different from something you hold in your hand, you may not realize how completely irrelevant your argument is here, but it would be as if I asked you "How come cars don't have square steering wheel"...
Also, there are many things that have not rectangular displays outside of Smartwatches, simply because it make more senses, like an old analog radar display, it would have been totally useless to make it squared, many optic things who have rounded input have round display and they can display tons of informations.
Do you really think that Apple and any other OS based on squared display haven't been adapted to work on such devices ?
Do you really imagine the Smartphone Android or Apple interface being any good in a smartwatch ?
Of course they adapted it to round smartwatches, the same way the interface was adapted to squared ones.
And of course it have been created, smartwatches OS didn't get found in an egg older than the universe.
In such case, peoples talking about squared watches in the article about a ROUND WATCH is even more irrelevant.
And yes it is my own opinion, which is shared by all the peoples targeted by the many rounded smartwatches AND the regular watches that some pay up to MILLIONS to get.

The ... moreYour entire argument is nonsense.
Your example of the Tamagotchi is stupid. Of course round things can easily show square content because the Tamagotchi display was square. It does not back the points you've made.
Square analog watches exist, and people have bought them. Furthermore, this point you've made is just your own opinion, thus irrelevant.
Lists can properly be shown on square displays, with round displays only the item in the center of the screen is shown fully because the round nature of the screen forces the sides of the upper and lower items to be cut off. Adjustments have to be made for rounded displays, such as shrinking/growing the items into view as they grow closer to the center, which adds wasted space. With square displays it just works, no visual adjustments have to be made as the length of the display is the same from top to bottom. LCD watches still had square displays. If you look up "LCD watch" on Google you'll see the actual displays are square, but -- surprise, surprise -- some of them have round BODIES. With square displays.
Apple could have made their watch in the shape of their logo for all I care, but you can't deny one simple fact, that square displays are much better suited for displaying textual information. How come smartphone displays aren't round then, huh?
"Samsung created an interface perfectly made for round watches": Exactly. Key word is "created." They had to make it. They had to adjust displaying information so that it fits in a round display. That sounds like an issue for me that they had to find a workaround for: Displaying information in a non-rectangular display.
"It just looks better" is your own opinion, thus irrelevant and pointless to bring up. If you want to have a watch on your hand, then buy a watch.

You people should know this is a commonly used traffic generating/ guerilla marketing tactic. I'm referring to the first comment on this article. While it's entirely possible that it is in fact the comment of an ignorant fanboy, it's more likely that they are a shill or even someone from gsmarena posing as your run-of-the-mill fanboy. You would have noticed by now that while this is an article about Samsung's Galaxy Watch, the general discussion is about the Fruit Watch. A comment like that is meant to artificially engage people into discussions and generate traffic for the site and/or provide exposure for the competitors, which is why I avoided naming them by brand in any of my 3 comment on this thread, I despise it. Just thought people should know about this, recognize the pattern in the future and maybe not engage in this charade.

I just hope that MST compatibility for Samsung Pay would return in the new Watch. A lot of retail premises here in Malaysia is still relying on that old tech, hence why I'm still staying with my Gear S3.

Also thanks you aren't responsible of what get or don't on the market, because you probably ain't familiar with the word "variety" nor with the concept that everyone don't have the same tastes.
And well, if something that literally get inspired by a watch, have the same name, copy its main use, is placed on the same spot with the same strap, like literally some have the regular industry standard isn't to have like a standard watch + the more practicals features of modern equipment, what is it for ?
In that case, non watch inspired smartwatches are actually the not normal one, and I should be the one telling you that if you don't like more advanced watches, just use your phone, it is already there for this exact purpose.
Edit :
BTW a watch can be bigger on your wrist by being round rather than rectangular without impeding on your ease of movement or feeling disconfortable, and the beauty of round display is that you can make easily the equivalent of a square display in them PLUS having the extra lateral space.
So yeah for a non watch display, of the same size, of course a rectangular one is better, but for the watches, the wrist contraints make it better for round ones.

It's been established that square smart watches can show far more details and information than a circle one. That's a FACT.
No one buys a smart watch to only show analog time, that's just plain stupid.
Design is subjective. This is coming from a galaxy watch active 2 owner.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrjwaqZfjIY
The display shape have to match the type of content, a WATCH is round as it show hands that draw a circle, round things can easily show a square content, the good old Tamagotchi is a good example of that, the Tamagotchi would have been ugly had it been squared.
Take a square watch and put an analog face which use hands, and it look ugly as hell, take a round watch and put a digital face and it look really good.
And most content anyway have to deal with a tiny display, round or square in both case you only show limited amount of informations, so this doesn't matter.
And the way a round vs a square watch are on the wrist, you can actually have a larger display on the round watch with less clutter on the harm caused by the extending angles.
Which is exactly why, when LCD watches came out, most of them had a round or roundish shape, while the old one had many squarish ones, more modern ones quickly reverted to round shape, there is a reason for this.
Apple mainly wanted to make something that remind its own ecosystem, like the iPod for example, and because their own OS style was already adapted for rectangle displays.
Samsung on the other hand created an interface perfectly made for round watches.
Plus it look 1000% better.
I want to feel I have a watch on my hand, not a stupid gadget, we already have our Smartphones for all the multimedia type content that work better with rectangular displays.
