But you don't "see the gears behind the code turn". I remember fondly the old computers that flashed their memory at you, floppy access, or later memory addresses, then later cpu and hdd activity, then just hdd, and now nothing. The feedback, the pulse, of our devices is now so small to be hidden entirely. I find I prefer physical switches and buttons over virtual "smart" buttons almost every time. I miss knowing what a button does without having to examine software. These watches speak to that in a way even good code can not (and I can enjoy some good code). Its simply less abstracted.
