Frankly I dont see them doing a round display simply because square is different. Most standard watches and even Android watches are round and blend in but I can clearly identify an apple watch on anyone. And we know apple loves that brand recognition.they don't want to blend in to the crowd they want to be the crowd.
I don't know about being the crowd, given their pricing, but this is probably the biggest reason we wouldn't see a round Apple Watch— brand recognition. I've said it several times before— Apple is going for a more elegant look so the rectangular Watch is a natural. It stands out on two levels, both of them reinforcing traditional Apple edicts.
I still want to see a round Watch and think Apple could make one that meets their standards. Just as they make more than one category of notebook or desktop computer, they could do so with the Watches. My feeling is that it will happen once the Watch obtains sufficient popularity. That will take some time. And if it doesn't happen, well, we'll always have rectangular.
