huh? carrying a large cell phone while jogging is more burdensome than wearing a small watch. and potentially more expensive (my area is sketchy). we'd certainly prefer to jog w/ a watch and no phone.
do you really need somebody to explain that to you?
Just tell me when your jogging in my neighborhood, I need a new watch, mmmmoooowwwhhhoooooaaahhhaahhhaahh.
i know what hes referring to, but it's absurd, thus my comment. there is nothing inherently wrong w/ skeuomorphism in design. nor modernism -- they are tools in the toolbox. the desktop metaphor still exists on your main PC, does it not? visually, this crown bridges a gap between the new and the familiar. and as far as AW UX goes, id bet it does so effectively.
1) there is no evidence that the crown adds "complexity" to the AW UX. you are merely making guesses from incomplete data.
2) i dont know any ladies worried about tanlines who are in the market for smartwatches, but they are free to flip it over. the twisting dexterity needed to operate the digital crown in reverse is 100% the same as a physical crown in reverse.

One "issue" with using only the Apple Watch (no iPhone) for exercise is no GPS.
Runners & bikers want to track times/laps/course/distance and the watch alone won't do it.
All the Apple Watch will do (for exercising) is count steps and heart rate.

What, the Apple Watch, not even close.

Moveable parts break.
'Nuff said!
