Watches should be round IMO. I'm happy with my Samsung Watch 4 Classic.

Yeah, but square screens are way cheaper to procure and to program for, and every little helps in an open source project aiming for $30.

honestly just depends on what kind of watchface you want, square is cheaper and in some ways more convenient so if you don't want an analog clockface there's no reason to bother

it's ugly and sticks out too much when it's square. round is classy

It's a chunk of plastic on your wrist. It's always going to be a bit tacky.

True but it can also look sleek/modern, or at least rectangular can imo.
