I have had a Samsung smartwatch for 5 years now and have been very satisfied. I'm not a big user of health functions, but sleep tracking, being able to see messages quickly without having to reach for my phone, and having an alarm on my wrist that is guaranteed to wake me up are the 3 biggest benefits. I also prefer a round watch face, it give a more classic feel. I feel a rectangular watch face shouts "I'm a smartwatch user!" a bit too much.

Meanwhile a round watch face shouts "I'm a round smartwatch user!".
For me at least, a round watch face blends better, and it's harder to tell whether it is a smartwatch or not out of the corner of your eye without specifically checking the face of the watch. For square watches, I can pretty much tell it's a smartwatch, starting from the Pebble days.
