Does anyone know what time it is?
It's about time the Apple Watch was round.
YouTuber ParipateticPandas took exception to the Apple Watch's less-than-perfectly-round shape and decided he could "fix" it -- with a grinding machine, a drafting compass and a cold, cold heart.
Surprisingly, the watch appears to function just fine after the rough DIY hack. Aside from its cracked screen, of course.

And yes, for those keeping score, this is the same man who "fixed" the iPhone 6's camera bump via a devastatingly similar method.
