Its a compass no its a sundial no its a watch you fool

You ever wonder why your watch looks like it does. Did you ever wonder where the design of the humble clock came from? Well I thought it would be good to look at something that very few people do. So I went too Google and began my search I found that the visual design of a clock is a detractive of ancient sundials of which 12 o’clock always faced north. This is why the compasses that sometimes come with watches always have the N above the 12 o’clock or where the 12 would be in the case of digital clocks. O’clock is also used to describe directions relative to a person for example if someone is coming up behind you they would be coming up on your 6 O’clock. So first reason for your watch being round is its relation to old sundials the second reason is relating to cardinal directions which would make since to have on a round surface since they are based of degrees in a circle. And the last reason it would seem different for a watch to be square. Now there are square watches and clocks but round is still the most common.
