Rectangular design for Galaxy Watch! Like Apple Watch?

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch models lead the way in rounded smartwatch designs with their rounded structure. Since the first day in the smart watch market, Apple has been using a rectangular design and Samsung has been using a round design. In fact, Samsung tried the rectangular design with the Gear series for the Galaxy Watch in 2013. Samsung, which could not achieve the success it wanted at that time, seems to try its old form again years later.

Will the Samsung Galaxy Watch appear with a rectangular design like the Apple Watch?

Although Samsung did not achieve the success it wanted with the Galaxy Gear design, it is said that the company is working on a Galaxy Watch with a rectangular design. According to information leaked from within the company, Samsung is very excited about this. There is a possibility that the new smart watch will appear as Galaxy Watch 7.

In other words, there may not be an alternative rectangular design next to the round-shaped Galaxy Watch as in 2013. There are no leaks about the model yet.

Samsung and Apple are among the companies leading the smart watch concept. Even Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch sales were close to each other in the early days. Apple Watch becoming more capable day by day and its advantage of having the best compatibility with the Apple ecosystem also affected Galaxy Watch sales.

Of course, Apple Watch is not the only factor affecting Galaxy Watch sales. However, the rectangular form of the Apple Watch remained unique for a long time compared to the round form used by the Galaxy Watch and other smartwatches. Samsung tried to enter the rectangular smartwatch market with the Galaxy Gear model about ten years ago.

Galaxy Gear, introduced by Samsung in 2013, stood out with its minimal design. Both the interface and the design language of the smart watch were outside the rounded design language that Samsung used at that time.

However, Samsung dealt the final blow to this design with the rectangular Galaxy Gear S model. This new design, which looked quite crude at the time, had a Galaxy S6-like design. After this model, which did not attract much attention, Samsung returned to the rounded design in the Galaxy Gear S2 model.

Do you think Samsung will use a rectangular design in the Galaxy Watch 7 model? When buying a smart watch, do you think it is important whether the watch has a rectangular or round design? We are waiting your comments.
