I never thought it made sense to have a classic and a sport. Your forcing people to choose between style and performance in nonconsecutive years. I would prefer they went with a classic look instead of the Ultra look, but I think it will look better IRL. I only say that because I've seen people modify their Ultra with bezel covers and it makes the corners look much slimmer. In this mock-up I can already see the classic is doing the same so the overall appearance looks a little more rounded than square.
When they start using solid state batteries as they've said they will in a year or two, they will be able to slim down the entire profile of this watch. I think that will also make this design look better.

NOT A GOOD IDEA, 10 May 2025I bought every Samsung Watch until Galaxy Watch Ultra just ... moreIf you bought every Samsung watch you would know that the first two years they only sold square watches and the first squircle design Samsung watch you apparently owned was the Samsung Gear Sport in 2017.

I didn't buy ultra and not going to buy 8 just because of the shape.. Come on Samsung, 8 is my lucky number. Why do you mess it up? Did you sell millions of Ultra and you expecting to sell billions?
It looks like an apple watch with a round watch face!
