A renowned leaker is already recommending that people skip the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro, both rumoured to be carrying over the design of the Galaxy Watch4. Purportedly, the Galaxy Watch5 series is uglier than any other smartwatches produced by smartphone OEMs.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-Watch5-and-Galaxy-Watch5-Pro-to-retain-ugly-design-of-the-Galaxy-Watch4.628510.0.html
Samsung better step up their game. If this is true, than they are obviously NOT listening to their customers. They need to do much better because Apple is about to blow them out of the water.
Myself I dont care about the design of the Watch 4 Classic. I dont want a smart watch looking like a Rolex or a Cartier (Apple). I accept now the fact that a smart watch has to be big to accommodate a big battery and a big screen. I actually like the design of the Watch 4 and 5. A couple years ago coming from a Cartier I was looking for a smart watch as small and thin. Impossible and today I am OK with that. A lot of other people will as smart watches are becomeing extremely valuable, so much more that a Rolex.
i'd still prefer a big (curved) rectangular screen like the Gear S had.
i HATE when the usable display does NOT fill the entire screen space. and then leaves this fugly black dead space. YUCK!
