circle is absolutely the wrong form factor for a smart watch. I’m so annoyed only apple does rectangular. and Fitbit i guess. but we need more flagship rectangular watches and ideally not paired to any existing ecosystems
Lots of the cheap Chinese watches Xiaomi, amazfit etc do a rectangular face. Rectangular lets you use standard screens and is cheaper and easier to get.
I went through 3 of them, the charging pins kept corroding within a few months. Seemed to be something to do with my skin. Only paid for 1 fortunately. It was a good watch otherwise, I even wasted my time making a wear os app.
I got one of those ten years ago when they came out. It was a little ugly but it was snappy and could go for a couple of days on a charge. I can’t say the same for any of the WearOS watches I had since then.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. A circle made sense for an analog clock face. But if you prefer that, just… use a regular watch. Everything else from digital time, to notifications, to texts, to fitness trackers look better, fit wrists better, and display more information.
Apple is an annoying company but I would buy one of their watches if it worked with my Android phone.

Fossil is a fashion brand, not a tech brand.
I like my hybrid Fossil a lot…
If a circle is good enough for 007 in golden eye 64 it’s good enough for me
Apple Watches and their copycats (which exist) are ugly as hell.

I had an LG smartwatch that was rectangular.
