According to our colleague from The Verge Victoria Son, such devices are actually rather poorly adapted for lovers of active entertainment. This is because most models do not have physical buttons.
As an example of a problem, he cited a situation while running or swimming in the pool. In this case, if a person wants to see the distance traveled, they must interact with the watch’s touchscreen. And this is quite difficult, because hands must first be wiped from sweat or water.
But more professional Polar or Garmin watches do not have this problem. In these you can often find a situation where a combination of touch and button controls is used.
