The Download: The Creative Opportunities of Designing for a Round Watch

One of the things that excites us about round watches is not only the iconic, beautiful design. It’s also unleashed cool, new opportunities for software development and new experiences. So for today’s Download, our regular spotlight on software, we wanted to get a little deeper into the benefits of designing for round watches.

Though for decades designers have created software experiences for squares and rectangles (LCD monitors, mobile phones, tablets, and even TVs, to name a few), a round watch provides a new canvas. Rick Hoobler, a user interface designer for Moto 360, and I have talked about how it provides fresh experiences in a few ways:

- A smooth, sweeping experience for your eye. Rectangular form factors typically require left alignment to look good according to traditional design principles. But circular screens create a smooth, race-track like behavior that is soothing to the eye. There is no starting or stopping point. It’s fluid and elegant.

- It’s a delight to experience new technology in a classic form factor. The blend of old and new create a deeply satisfying aesthetic. The classic round shape meets brand new technology to create a design duality that feels original without trying too hard. Tableware, plates, glasses, handles—these are all classic round shapes. When we bring this to the watch, you can see things like someone’s photo that fills up the beautiful, locket-like round shape or maps with solid fields of color in a round compass shape.

- The circle is a natural shape for tracking progress. From a design perspective, it is a very compelling experience for users to be able to use sleek progress meters that track all around the edge. You can see all-day progress, instead of a tiny standard-looking chart. The heart rate monitor, for instance, easily curves in a circular shape to show how fast your heart is beating.

Hear Rick share more about what it’s like creating experiences in a round space, instead of a square one.



What else is new in software this week?

- Hot off the presses is an update to Motorola Camera that brings you a remote shutter for Android Wear watches, so you can trigger a shot from your wrist. It also brings numerous performance improvements and bug fixes across Motorola products. We’ve now had over 1 billion shots captured by Moto G users and will continue to bring improvements to our customers!

- Motorola Assist was updated with important bug fixes for Talk to Me and Drive Mode. FM Radio has been updated on Moto E and Moto G to provide lockscreen controls and to support playback to Bluetooth speakers.

- Motorola Connect and the Motorola Connect Chrome extension have been updated to improve stability and support emoji (Chrome extension).


Hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think.

The round face impacts the feels and use quite more then what you think
It more then just aesthetics.

guys thing already official in malaysia?

i mean warranty claim if anything happen

By having those rolex & other expensive watch faces, people with square watches will be jealous as hell.

That i agree hahahh

Now that's a joke for G Watch R due to the bezels.

Double minutes indicator, LMAO

Not official in Malaysia, and I doubt we will ever get it officially in Malaysia.

If warranty claim, usually the seller will assist. Have to check with seller.

Hahaha, have faith bro It 's already sold at India, so I believe eventually it will reach here as well, hopefully not as late as Moto X ( late for freaking 8 months )

Damn, more and more cracking issues I see on Reddit and XDA, so scary ler. Should I grind away some of the rounded edge of the plastic backplate? Haihz... Even Stock leather bands have this issue.

maybe version 2 coming

India is a main market for Motorola, and they even get the products earlier than Europe lol. Even Amazon also expanded to India.

Honestly if I am Motorola, I also wouldn't "waste" my resources to expand into this region, sad to say haha. Our only hope is that Motorola will "tumpang" Lenovo under the same distributer.

I read, depend on how tight you wear. Personal experience, too tight will have cracking potential, because the band doesnt have flexibility like normal watch's spring bar axis. Or some people like to wear it at wrist bone, it will have very high chances as below video demonstrate.



Motorola's phone was present here, so I have high faith over them, of coz after stock availability stable. LG G watch is one that wont available here, since most of latest LG phones doesnt enter Msia due to distributor issue.

Nope, zhou is right. Moto 360 won't be making its way here, unless Brightstar takes the initiative, again, to bring it in. But I don't see it happening, bcs they won't have the spare parts for RMA purpose. India is a whole different case. Motorola sees a huge opportunity there, bcs the population is huge there too. Almost 300 million are using Motorola. Here, our population is only 30 million, and the number of people who use Motorola? Not even 1 million
