It's only because the UX is so terrible. I think the closest to fixing the UX on a smartwatch so far has been Samsung with its Gear S2. It has a circle bezel that rotates through everything. Very easy to use.

How do you propose to rotate a bezel when both your hands are busy?

That's when I nose tap my watch.

It has nothing to do with the UI and everything to do with the tool at hand.

So the solution to fixing interacting with a smart watch when your hands are otherwise engaged is not to use another conductive piece of your body, but to instead turn a bezel with your hand?

GG thinly veiled ad.
