I miss physical buttons interfacing with apps. There are many apps that would benefit from this, as mentioned in the article.
Sadly, it isn't possible to develop apps for it, though. To this day, there isn't a watch that adequately replaced the full glory that is the Pebble.
I went for the Instinct because I use it heavily when backpacking in the wilderness, and it's the most rugged. Plus, it's inexpensive enough that if I bash it against a rock or something and destroy it, it's not a crisis.
It’s bizarre that xiaomi and amazfit make nice looking watches with 8x as much battery life as an Apple Watch. What is Apple’s problem?
I would have stuck with the amazfit but the physical buttons won’t control music (and I don’t trust their data policy enough to wear a gps-enabled device on my person 24/7).
