I'll buy an Apple Watch, but I'd pay through the nose for an Apple Watch with four buttons.
Steve Jobs obsession that the mouse should have only one button was probably right for the computer, but the input device had over 80 buttons minimum. (Keyboard)
Clearly whoever makes the call about Apple Watch buttons doesn't swim, sprint or cycle.
All the marketing about "sports" is to make you feel sporty not because it's actually useful.
Of course, for the use Apple make money from (Apple pay) there is a tactile button dedicated for the purpose.

- c0wb0yc0d3r 4y agoWhat do you have? (Crossing my fingers you don't say Razor)
- morjom 4y agoNot the person you asked from but I have the SteelSeries Aerox 9 (wireless). I play MMOs on the regular and dabble in power-user land and 3D-modeling w shortcuts.
- ciceryadam 4y agoI'm using a Logitech G604 at work, I have 15 buttons of keyboard shortcuts on it.
- gkhartman 4y agoI love this mouse. Logitech software could be better, but it's much better than Razer's. Synapse seems to ruin what would otherwise be great hardware for the money.
- balfirevic 4y agoI use Logitech G502 Lightspeed.
- wlesieutre 4y agoYou'll be excited to hear that for $800 you can now get an Apple watch with one more button to assign to a sports thing!
- gnicholas 4y agoIt can also be mapped to a "shortcut" script, though I don't know what all can be shortcutted on the watch: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213335 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213335
- bryceacc 4y agowhat would you map those buttons to?
- igorsantos07 4y agoI had a really, really hard time finding a decent smart watch when my Pebble drowned. Two years and five(!!!) Ticwatches later (first was too slow, the other 4 were drowning in different ways when I was swimming)... I felt in love with the Samsung Watch 4 classic. Not that expensive, slick UI, full of features, great Android integration and a wonderful dial/crown which is well used in a couple of apps to make it all easier - you can use it to answer/cancel calls or finish/repeat alarms/timers. AND THEN Samsung launches Watch 5 and DROPS THE FREAKING CROWN! Back to 1.5 buttons - because the second one, as the Apple Watch, is stuck to Samsung Pay (can't even set it to Google Pay) and recent apps, no app uses. WHY? WHYYYY? The crown is amazing for scrolling through screens when I'm biking (shaky) or swimming (touch disabled). It's WAY better for scrolling in that tiny screen. It's awesome as interaction aid. WHY REMOVE IT?? I do miss the long battery and buttons, but I must mention that a touch screen gives you many more UI possibilities.
- mod 4y agoI have the original galaxy watch still. I use it almost without ever touching the screen. Two buttons and a crown/dial pretty much make it four buttons, and yeah, I don't have to touch the screen really. I'm also not a very hardcore watch user, though. I was sold on the GW because the OS (Tizen) was supposed to be the best one. Everyone hated the google OS, which then in GW4 I think they switched to.
- igorsantos07 4y agoThe OS on GW4 is really amazing, at least comparing with previous versions of WearOS and even to my previous Pebble experience. However, they ditched the crown at the GW5
