It is still unclear whether Apple will brand the new Apple Watches as unique anniversary models or wait until next year

You're right, especially regarding the iPhone.

But the watch still has a pretty good bezel around the screen. Since you don't have to hold it with your hand, it makes sense to make that bezel as thin as possible (or disappear entirely). The screen would get marginally bigger, but the watch itself would stay the same size.

At least, I hope that's the case.

That isn’t what they’re doing—it says in the article that the measurements are of case height, not screen size within the case. The body of the watch is bigger.

Well then I hope Apple Watch wearers all secretly covet the giant, round Google watch from ten years ago.

Honestly, they had me for the 1st gen, and then progressively convinced me that I don’t need one as they made it more of a phone.

I'd like an open source watch that looks nice and has long battery. I think it could be useful to manage whatever the hell is wrong with my brain that I cannot stay focused on a task.

I agree, but it needs a solid philosophy of use behind it so if doesn’t capture all of your attention the same way a phone does.

Yeah, I don't think taking all my notifications and moving them to a smaller screen is the solution. That's really compelling for sports, but I'm not doing anything away from my phone for long enough to need that.
