Buttons. Buttons. Buttons. Buttons. Buttons. And Battery Life. I just got a Garmin Fenix 7, and _finally_, a smart-watch with buttons that are reasonably well-thought out (and a battery that lasts longer than one week).
But seriously: the interface design that goes into "up, down, ok, back, start" and the gestures of "press, hold, hold2" necessitate (and enable) a whole different UX than smearing react javascript components onto a 30mm touch screen with a (checks specs) 1 week battery life.
There are _real_ advantages to designing a stateful / navigable interface, and years-long battery life makes it Not a Toy.
