I abandoned the website in less than 20 seconds as I couldn't navigate the page below on Chrome.

While it sucks, why didn't you just try the arrow keys? Works perfectly fine.

Perhaps because there's a dozen ways to scroll a web page and we shouldn't have to try every method until we find one that works?

I'm not defending their decision, it sucks that they did it like this.

But reading the comments, people seem genuinely interested in the product but leave the page because they think it is "impossible" to navigate it? Come on..

How many ways to scroll a webpage are there anyway? Wheel/trackpad, space and key down. Are there more? Even if there is, these are the ones you'll obviously try first.

Page up/down, the scroll bar, click-and-drag to select and scroll are three more off the top of my head.

Also, in the land of UX, your "obviously" is not always everybody else's.

Fair enough, although I'd still imagine the arrow down goes before any of those for most people.

Most programmers, perhaps.
Re:Huawei Watch by wingerlang on Wednesday March 04, 2015 @10:56AM (#9145025)
I'd actually pin that on most non-programmers. Arrow down is the most intuitive as far as I've seen. I've never seen anyone not "tech proficient" use anything else anyway.

Same. Awesome looking watch, but after trying to scroll up and down a few times I was like welp guess I won't be finding out more about this watch! Impossible to find out what's in the middle of the site

Me too. Which is a shame because the watch looks nice (for a smart watch). It seems like something that an adult could intentionally wear in public, unlike many of these gadgets.
