These comments go on to show the degree of misinformation that surrounds Wear OS, and how the internet serves the rumour mill.
In fact most Wear OS sport digital crowns, the new Wear OS interface has been cleaned up featuring just one swipe to all four directions to have everything under your control, and everyone forgets that Wear OS, still uniquely, sports gestures which allow you to display your notifications and swipe through them just by flicking your wrist, no swiping but also no engaging of your other hand needed to operate a crown or a rotating bezel.

          wear os is useless. it's a failed os, especially the user interface. everything is based on touch and swipe. Very uncomfortable for a very tiny screen. Apple watch and galaxy watch are much more superior than this cr*p.
