No offence, but round watchfaces just look plain wrong on square smartwatches imho .

None taken!

I quite like it!

Update!

I'm actually really enjoying having the Apple Watch on my wrist!

I'm using it for more and more 'stuff' everyday, and the phone is being left in my pocket more and more.

It's great for text messages.

I love that when Im at work and I go down into the factory I keep getting notifications despite my phone being upstairs in the office on my desk emails, etc. Very handy.

It's amazing to see how far I walk a day - I walked 19km on Sunday - I never thought I walked so much!

I like using it whilst driving - the temptation to pick up my phone has gone. A quick flick of the wrist and I can see a message and reply using my voice. Excellent.

The battery life is very good indeed. Yesterday I put it on at 6.15am before walking the dog, wore it all day including an hour and a half of gym use before taking it off when I got home at 9pm. It had 53% battery remaining. Quite impressive.

Using it for controlling the camera on your phone is of course a gimmick - but has come in surprisingly useful already.

Used it for golf on Sunday morning using the Golf Shot app - once I figured out all of the controls (on about the 4th hole!) it was really very good indeed and I didn't miss my Garmin watch.

Im looking forward to finding more great uses for it!

The ability to reply to text messages with scribbles is great.

I'm amazed it understand my handwriting. I can't even read it. And I'm left handed, wearing the watch on my left wrist so using my right hand.

Yeah, scribbles is good. But it isn't as quick as just speaking to it.

But you can only speak to it when you're alone - otherwise you look like a tw@t!

Speaking is good but not in the middle of the office.
