When it comes to smartwatches, is it actually hip to be square?

The discussion of square vs. circular smartwatches isn’t new, but it’s yet to reach a definitive answer. It’s certainly easier to pull off an angular device than it used to be, but many users still swear by the circular aesthetic.

This year, we saw the debut of an exciting new Wear OS on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, an effortlessly classy flagship device featuring a round profile. We also saw the unveiling of the Apple Watch Series 7, boasting a bigger display than ever before, in the same shape we’ve come to expect.
