I wonder if Apple's new watch faces suggest we will someday see two case designs - each with their own compromises - as sales continue to increase and more users come in. I thought about this as I noticed how much Apple has tried to "fill-in" and curve the text and information of the corner complications on faces that seem designed primarily for a round dial. This test of the circle is especially noticeable when looking at the old version of faces such as Utility (which really embraced the square) in comparison to the new version (which seems torn between square and circle - and is now horrible looking, I feel).
I know that app developers will have a hard time handling two different screen shapes but perhaps Apple can differentiate models enough that consumers know they should not expect apps designed for squircle cases to look right on apps designed for round cases. Or, maybe, Apple can draw a strict line between Apple Watches so that one cannot load a "round app" onto a squircle case, and vice versa, except for some sort of universal binary version that correctly handles each.
