A satellite goes round the earth in a circular orbit with constant speed. Is the motion uniform or accelerated?

This photograph shows a man-made 'communication satellite' going round the earth in a circular orbit (or circular path). We can see the dish antennae and solar panels (made of solar cells) clearly in this photograph.

This photograph shows a watch. The tip of seconds 'hand of this watch moves rapidly on the dial of the watch. The tips of minutes' hand and hours' also move on the dial but they move slowly.
