round or rectangular?

[UdlinINTEL]

I love traditional watches of both types. it depends on the mood, outfit, environment and many other factors that determine me to choose the round one or the rectangular one. Either way, both have a place in my collection


As for Gshoks, here is what bothers me about them. On the whole, the concept of a Gshock watch revolves around boldness, with some aggressiveness, complexity, rough shapes and reliefs, visual weight and everything of that kind. So, when it has a round case, its shapes and silhouette seem balanced. It has enough space for contour roughness and for a readable, easily-visible, and operable dial.

When its case is square, the dial visually is reduced and this creates a disproportionality between the bold case and the relatively small face. A feeling of dissonance and disproportionality is created between the case and the dial, as if they do not resonate with each other. It is for this reason that I see the round Gshoks as more balanced, in which the width of the dial harmonizes with the structural baldness of the watch

don't mind owning a rectangle. but the round ones still resonate better with me.... I couldn't explain why.... even if they are not as exclusive as the rectangular ones.

I admit that the round watches are more popular than the others. But, DUUUUUUDEEEEEEEE!!!! I CAN'T NOT NOTICE SOMEONE WHEN THEY WEAR A RECTANGULAR ONE!!!!! THE ROUND ones CAN BE AS SOPHISTICATED AS YOU WANT, BUT IT STILL DOESN'T STAND OUT AS MUCH AS A RECTANGULAR ONE!

most of my watches are round, I admit. These stylistically blend better with my everyday style. But I have a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso rep, and a Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date square der for which I only get ovations. For me, these are more about status than the round ones, no offense pls!

both!!!!!! HOW MUCH YOU DON'T LOVE A CERTAIN WATCH, YOU GET BORED OF IT, OR OF THE SAME SHAPE OF IT! There's the moment when u switch to another shape!!!! Each of round and rectangular are good for certain purposes and occasions. The square ones are my favorites, but I admit that for the daily use, I mostly use the round ones

 

[Ethan]

the square ones are more to my liking... i also have round watches, but these are mainly for daily use. the rectangular ones are for when my mood is high and need some confidence support

 

[diaboliquerye]

I am the owner of 2 rectangular and 3 round watches

each one of them means a lot to me, and it's not just about their shape... I bought them for variety and because I love watches. I admit that the rectangle ones are more appreciated by those around me than the round ones, although I adore them all equally...

 

[Almagest]

without wanting to, my watch collection contains more rectangular models than round ones... it seems that they resonate better with me... I'm tired of round models, there are too many on the market, and they lose their exclusive status

BOTH!

round for me please..... the rectangular look fine to me... got a couple of such watches, but could never find them comfortable. corners would always dig into my wrist causing me distress after a couple of hours. so I had to give up the idea, although I like them a lot.... I'm just a spectator of rectangular watches who admires them from the outside

 

[BusyAsHell]

always round... the square or rectangular ones made me feel uncomfortable during the day. at some point I want to take my watch off my wrist as if I'm suffocating... idk... maybe that's the anatomy of my wrist... aesthetically, I like the way it looks,... but at the level of feeling, no sir...

 

[MiracuLuis]

I tend to get bored with the shape of checks. so changing shapes is a usual thing for me thanks god my wrist allows me to wear whatever i like, so both round and rectangular are great for me

 

[StevenOhio]

each of them has its own charm... for me, the rectangular ones somehow look more elegant and sophisticated. I prefer them more for more special occasions. however, I admit that the round ones are more utilitarian and functional. I have not found any square or rectangular watch that includes as many functions as the round ones. so for practical use, round ones are more suitable... I think it depends on the style of the watch owner and the way of life he leads... for a sports watch, there are not many square options

 

[Cinar73967]

until now, I wore round cases exclusively. now with my new job, I don't exclude that I will consider the rectangular ones as well.,, it depends on the context in which you wear the watches. if the formal style predominates, then rectangular watches predominate as well

 

[SoniQUE55923]

I don't agree with rectangular watches... definitely not my style... they are too formal for me and I don't feel comfortable with them on my wrist... round cases are my number one options... not even rectangular cases with rounded corners it doesn't comfort me,,,, like Panerai PAM00760 for example... no no no...

 

[Fisher]

if I'm honest, no matter how much I love round watches, I have to admit that I'm always captivated by anyone who wears a rectangular watch. the problem is that these don't fit my wrist... I don't feel comfortable and because of my anatomy, I can't last long with them on my wrist... but, out of 100 watches, I will always notice the one that has rectangular shape, even if they all are round rolexes, tudors, pateks, or any others....

 

[GeorgeClintonBiden]

both...I got A MONACO Meyer 69 rep rectangular and a Deepsea rep. Like both shapes equally and just interchange them according to my mood or to my clothes and color scheme.... Wearing them occasionally as I got a Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer H76419931 for the daily use (also round btw).

still, I haver to admit that the rectangular one is somewhat more appealing deep within me

 

[Perpetual]

I prefer rectangular. I'm a bit bored with the round ones. in fact, I've been eyeing unusual-shaped watches lately. to try something more abstract, at least to wear it occasionally. if anyone knows anything about how to wear such watches, please lemme know... I'm not sure about the comfort
