> Is there any UX/design/functional reason to have a round watch face on a smartwatch?
The circular functional bezel on a Gear S3 is nice bit of physical interface. It's primarily how I interface with my smartwatch.
Honestly, you're never going to get much utility out of a smartwatch. So aesthetics is the primary function of the device and round watches do tend to look better.
