Second-guessing the AW design


a few things bother me aw design...

* digital crown + side button combination lacks minimalism has worked apple (compare single front-facing button on iphone)
* if you're going have wart protruding side , justify existence because it's traditional, why not @ least place in traditional location (the center edge)? displacing penalizes left-handed wearers, , violates otherwise perfect symmetry of watch. taking step back, can't suspect modern device doesn't require wart in first place
* torque effect: pressing side button means have either stabilize watch pressing against opposite side, or press until one's skin provides more resistance against band one's finger against button

fun, wondered how have been better. i'm posting came can learn other forum members i've overlooked, because know apple have considered many designs before settling on 1 did.

imagine rounded watch face rather rectangular one, touch-sensitive edge. having curved edge delineate edge upper part , lower part, each of act virtual button. (heck, if application demanded 3rd button, have top, bottom, , middle.) scrolling accomplished sliding one's finger 1 end other.

insights.
 

i hate edge gestures on iphone / ipad. never toggle when want them to, end toggling them inadvertently when don't want. imagine problem compound on device small watch.

agree pushing buttons on watch can bit awkward, it's better trying determine "edge" begins , screen ends.

asymmetrical buttons, i've tried wearing watch both ways, , don't think left-handed users inconvenienced button placement. in fact, people have argued buttons may easier press if wear watch "upside down."
