Google’s is round, but it’s also very similar.
“There’s a lot of room for creativity here,” technology writerJames Calderontold Lifewire via email.
“Smartwatches could be made in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with all sorts of different materials.
They could be made to look more like traditional watches or more like jewelry.”
