Leaks usually do not remove the air from my sail, but the latest details about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch lineup came close. Render Each posted by Trusted Leaker Ivan Blass, The Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 will have the same square design feature, which started with the original Galaxy Watch Ultra, and, to keep it softly, it is a great despair.

I was not an ultra -shaped fan at the time of launch (or on my wrist later), but I hoped that it would be limited to only one SKU for a certain type of buyer. For my disappointment, it seems that the Samsung is going all-in on the square.

Let’s start with clear: Square simply doesn’t look good. At least not to me. It is a strange hybrid of the round rectangle of Apple Watch and the common circular style of Samsung, a compromise that lands firmly into the land of no-man. A circular smart watch Has always been a classic attraction. It looks like a real watch and does not look out of place with a dress shirt or leather strap. Square-face wearbals such as Apple Watch offered heavy lean in their tech-first identity, offering more screen real estate and sharper information layout, but still characterized by a sophisticated impression.

Samsung tries to divide the squarely difference and neither fulfills. It does not have traditional clock -shaped elegance or unattainable utility of a square. Best of all, it feels indecent, and the worst, it sounds like a child’s toy. Wearables are no longer gadgets, they are stuff we wear 24/7, and something looks like. A lot of people can like squeeral shape, but I am not one of them.

As it is said, the form follows the function, but here, also, the squarely stumbles. The size of the Galaxy Watch Ultra adds noticeable bulk to the lineup, especially for small people like me. I usually love a big watch, but only when its size is packed with purification and its increased real estate added the utility.

Simply put, if I am going to wear some oversize, I want that place to be filled with display space to distribute large menu, rich complications and rich user interactions. Squarely chunky without paying a proportionally large screen; It only sacrifices comfort and utility for visual distinctions that I cannot back.

What do I think the most it seems to be. Samsung has done a good job of historically offering variety. When the Rewmpled Galaxy Watch 4 Series Ware arrived to enter a new era of OS, the shopkeepers got the option of a sporty or classic build. The Galaxy Watch 5 series resonated a two-dimensional approach with a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and a regular Galaxy Watch 5 model. Even last year’s lineup gave us a circular Galaxy Watch with Squiral Galaxy Watch Ultra.

I get a desire to unite the product line. To streamline manufacturing, make a signature look, etc., but all your watches do not mean the same looks that they will appeal to all. I love the domed shape of the Pixel Watch Line, and I love Square-Isa Apple Watch Series. I historically loved the elegant Galaxy Watch Line and its high classic model.

The rotating bezel Galaxy Watch can make its way back to the wrist with 8 classic, but it does not give the same analog watch vibes on a chabbi rectangle. I realize that Squiral can appeal to some people, but I want Samsung that Samsung did not portray the entire lineup with the same widespread stroke.

TL; Dr: I hate squer. I need an option. Samsung is not going to think forward every watch in the same suspicious shape; It is cutting corners. Literally,
