Why do you think so?

No new info – maybe they will skip that iteration this year?

Something I have thought would’ve appeared on a smartwatch/fitness tracker by now is a slider. Springs would hold it in a centrally bound position and the slider itself could double as a button. Sliding it up or down would allow the user to scroll through menus and list-based metrics and feeds. I think such a form of hardware navigation would fit this form factor quite well as well as the more ruggedized trekking-style smartwatch form factor (maybe even moreso than a digital crown or rotating bezel in a lot of instances)!
