Ugly for me, they really idolize Apple huh.
Huawei watch is much elegant and professional.
Why they can learn design from them?

NOT A GOOD IDEA, 10 May 2025I bought every Samsung Watch until Galaxy Watch Ultra just ... moreI has the Watch 5 44mm, went for a few fitness trackers in between and got the Ultra on release. I didn't like the design in the leaks, but in reality it looks a lot better than expected, I genuinely like it

WearOS is designed for round watches, so it wouldn't work well without changing all kinds of apps. If those were rendered in squares, the extra space would just be empty.

Why not make the screen a squircle as well? 👀
A squircle frame alongside a circular screen makes sense for the Classic which needs to have a physical frame.

The thing I liked about the galaxy watches is that they looked more like real watches then the Google or apple watches. There's a bunch of real watches that look like this but it's still gonna look ugly

If this is the the confirmed design for the watch 8, then it better should have EVERYTHING that the watch ultra offers + the rotating bezel of the classic which people have been asking for since last year.

I got my first (and last!) Samsung Watch 6 Classic. The battery's a nightmare; it only lasts a day, and it's been like that since I got it.

I bought every Samsung Watch until Galaxy Watch Ultra just because of its shape.
I didn't buy ultra and not going to buy 8. Come on Samsung, 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!

Just make a square / rectangle watch
More screen real estate less wastage of space
