The unique shape of the Apple Watch, which has become one of the favorites of consumers with both its appearance and functionality since its launch, is one of its most interesting features when viewed from the outside.
This feature is not a casual design. Moreover, many users wonder why. Here are the reasons behind the square shape of Apple watches…
It offers “uniqueness” by differentiating it from other watches on the market.
There’s no denying that Apple is a trendsetter when it comes to design aesthetics. In addition to the classic lines, Apple Watch also offers an aesthetic and modern look that is separated from the design of other products.
Rather than a smart watch, it has the features of a mini phone.
Since Apple Watches have almost all the features found in iPhones, it is very important that the design of the screen is similar.
“Like other smartwatches, it can also be used by shrinking text and symbols.” You might be thinking, but this would leave unnecessary gaps as in the image above, while reducing functionality and creating an unaesthetic appearance. Moreover, it would also make it difficult to read a device with a small screen, such as a watch. Such an idea obviously did not like Apple, which is sensitive to design.
The square shape is more compatible with the wrist.
The square dial, rather than the round watch face, fits the wrist better. In addition to less movement and slippage, a comfortable fit on the wrist provides comfort for users.
It greatly increases the functionality of the small screen.
Design is very important to be able to display more information at the same time on a small screen and to access this information faster. With its square design, Apple Watch makes it easier to read notifications by making more text appear on the screen.
It also makes touch gestures much easier by providing more surface area for users to tap and swipe on the screen.
It provides convenience even for manufacturers.
Producing a round watch face is much more costly and difficult than a square one. Round watches require more precise operations due to their shape.
By making a less costly production, Apple Watch reveals a more affordable product for both itself and consumers. Of course, the affordable price of Apple watches in our country is just a dream for now.
Considering all these features, the idea of a square-shaped smartwatch must have been on our minds. We said that Apple is the trend leader, now different brands such as Huawei have started to produce square smart watches, as you can see in the image above.
