iWatch may win out on functionality and user experience etc.,
but it just looks funky.
As Gruber pointed out, "Everyone else has gone skeuomorphic." I think he makes a terrible point since there are a severely limited set of possibilities for putting a small screen on your wrist and since existing watches have more than exhausted those possibilities.
I agree about the Moto-360: whatever its faults, it looks nice. I understand that the watch on my wrist right now is round because of the sweep of the dials, but it's also pleasant looking. What I find exciting about the Android side of the equation is that [in a couple of years] we'll probably have a crazy range of watches from which to select. Grab a Tag Heuer Android watch with replaceable innards or maybe a few cheap Fossils for variety.
Yeah — I usually agree with Gruber, but I think round is just a better shape for something that's meant to be worn. Jewelry is generally round as well.
