The Apple Watch’s looks are controversial, but many think it’s much more stylish than most other smartwatches that are currently on the market.

When Apple showed off the Watch during the keynote, many noticed that the UI featured round icons and other circular elements to soften the look of the square smartwatch. The concept design shows just how nicely the software looks on a round watch face.
