The next Apple Watch could offer a round face

apple-watch-nike

For many months we have been talking about the rumors related to the second generation Apple Watch, a generation that practically did not live up to everything that was rumored, starting with the shape of the sphere that would go from being square to circular, a rumor that as we all know was not confirmed. But it seems that the guys from Cupertino have not entirely ruled out the possibility of launching an upcoming model similar to the Moto 360 and the Samsung Gear S3. According to several patents that Apple has filed, we can see how the company has requested the registration of a smartwatch model in a circular way.

If you are Apple Watch users and have had the opportunity to try the 360st or 1nd generation Moto 2 (as is my case) you will have realized how aesthetically a circular screen aesthetically could be very good, but it is not practical since part of the information is not displayed correctly or forces us to scroll on the screen in order to see it completely.

In the title of the patents you have applied for, we can read Electronic device with screen with curved edges. According to attached documents Apple I could try to take advantage of the entire top of the screen to offer virtually nonexistent edges. We do not know to what extent Apple may be interested in launching a new model, but as a patent that it is, it does not mean that it will finally see the light in the market.

Despite the fact that the Apple Watch is still the most popular terminal on the market, interest in this device has dropped dramatically in the last yearWhile the interest in wearables from other manufacturers has increased dramatically, especially if we talk about Samsung wearables, especially the fantastic Gear S2 with a circular screen with a rotating bezel.

    Finally! Apple's design is very good on almost all of their devices, but on the watch I don't know how they have been able to get such barbarism on sale.

    Any mid-range brand has a much prettier design. Ask any watchmaker, at least for men's watches, how much square or rectangular watches they sell compared to watches with a round dial.

    The normal clock only tells the time, which today we already have on any mobile, that is, we wear it as an ornament and the same happens with smart watches, whatever you do will make even the worst smartphone better as design is much more important than technology in a watch.
