The main criticism of circular smartwatches is that they unnaturally truncate text. The screenshots don't even try to hide this. While I do think circular watches look better, circular smart watches are just silly. Edit: I mean to say, they look better when off or when displaying a circular watch face. They look silly when displaying text.
Given that it's an intentional, purposeful design element of Android Wear, why in the world would they "hide" it?

Isn't Huawei the company that the United States barred because they were spying/embedding firmworms/foreign? Of course the gov would know what to look for, but why would I wear a Communist produced watch on my wrist?!
