Poll: Which Wear OS smartwatch shape is best, round or square?
Is there really an ideal shape for a smartwatch screen?

Even there, we’ve seen a lot of variation in the decade-plus since getting Android Wear (and now, Wear OS). Early efforts like the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live used rectangular screens, before the Moto 360 and its oh-so-nearly circular “flat tire” display started introducing us to the possibilities of smartwatches that were round.
While Apple’s still running strong with its rectangular watches, the Android world feels like it’s largely committed to shifting its focus over to circular screens. From the Galaxy Watch to the Pixel Watch series, we’re looking at round displays everywhere we turn — even as we recently checked out evidence of Samsung thinking about a “squircle” shape for Galaxy Watch 8 models, the company seems content to keep the screen round.
