It looks like a generic watch from that pic

Apple granted design patent for the Apple Watch design. Note, this is not a UTILITY patent, which they also have for the case, watch bands, and the internal electronics, force touch screen, and crown control wheel inventions. A "design patent" is a specific patent for trade dress of the unique look and appearance of a consumer product or work and is similar to a TradeMark. It is this type of patent that gave rise to the specious claim that Apple had patented rounded corners and rectangles, which was part of the written physical description of the original iPhone, which is required by law. — PING!

This is just stupid. It's like trying to patent the red bottoms of Christian Louboutin shoes.

This is the sort of thing that keeps me from being an Apple Fanboy.... it's just too stupid to join in with.

Not a surprise. If they anything that others can agree on, design interface is a huge strngth they have nailed and have for decades.

Like it or not, and I have never liked it.

Look and feel is for homos.

The design and look/feel is about as exciting as a common toothpick.
