    Yes. let's ditch an interface that has been hugely successful and redefined the wearable fitness tracker market on the remakes of armchair product designers. The watch face is only ONE aspect of what this device does and a round screen is far less conducive to the other tasks watchOS is able to perform. I cringe every time I see an Android Wear screenshot with a text feed and only a fraction of the copy is readable at a glance because the round shape obscures it.

      Since when has Apple been about good UX? They ship a keyboard with such little travel you can actually feel your fingers ache after using it because they're hammering against aluminum without cushioning. Ticking RSI time bomb.

      Besides Apple Watch is a fashion item first, just look at the team.

        Good argument. I especially love the data you use to back it up. Yeah, I can see how the watchOS UI and UX is a huge failure. Apple really needs to kill that division and move on. /sarcasm (in case it wasn't obvious)
