You know what would be brave? Making a round watch. A watch with a cool, raised bezel that would both protect the crystal and offer a capacitive interface like the old dial on iPods.
I think that’s too brave for the current design team, though.
You ever try to design content for anything that’s not a square or rectangular viewport? Circular displays look pretty but they are terrible for usability. I also struggle to see why a capacitive bezel would be better than using the Digital Crown. You might be too brave for any product team lol

This is absolutely the reason why Apple sticks with a rectangle, but that said, I’d still love to see them try for a round face.
Round faces look amazing for analog watch faces and only for that—but I’d still get one if they offered it.
