Reddit Infographic visually describe Apple Watch UI


Kind of neat. I played around with the watch a little last week when it hit stores. I spent more time looking at the hardware simply because I think it might be difficult to get a good sense of things in a demo. I assumed the watch will depend on the my specific phone for the full experience, plus apps are still being developed.

Anyway, I found the UI to actually be a little confusing. What feels like a power button is really a dedicated favorites toggle. The crown is both a scroll wheel and home button, vs what I think of as a scroll wheel and click on a mouse. Plus you've got a touch interface that's more limited than the familiar iOS UI, plus the new force touch interface.

So, yeah, there's a bit of a learning curve. That's not to say it isn't intuitive, it's just that the controls seem familiar but work differently.
