I choked when I saw that the XS Max 256GB price was nearly $300 more than I paid for the 7 Plus 256GB.   Nomally, I buy the biggest screen and largest size.   Not this year.  I’d need a heck of a trade-in deal.  I may buy 6-12 months behind instead of living on the bleeding edge.  I’m becoming too satisfied with my current phone.

It looks so much better with the rounded corners of the display following the shape of the case. And in my opinion, I think the thickness of the bezels is spot on. I think I'm finally jumping aboard for the 40mm?

To each his own. I don't really care for the bezels. I'm sure Apple has it's reasons, but just comparing the new 44mm AW to the 42mm round Huawei, you'll notice that the display goes right up to the metal edges. With a contrasting image displayed against the AW bezels, I'm left with the impression of the old iOS YouTube App icon, which depending on the goal may or may not be a good thing. I'd expect Apple will eventually get rid of the bezels completely though, I'm just not sure why they haven't already since the Huawei does it. 

Well Apple’s not trying to imitate a mechanical watch. For those who prefer a smart watch that looks like a round mechanical watch then Apple Watch is not for them. Curious though, do you have a non marketing image of the Huawei watch? I’ve found with most of the Android watches the actual watch on the wrist never looks as good as the marketing images. Especially the display which is always brighter IRL. Example:



I’m assuming there must be some technical reason the Watch still has those bezels. I can’t believe it’s a conscious design choice.
