Just because you’re a veteran iPhone or Mac user, that doesn’t mean you’re not going to run into any problems when navigating the Apple Watch.

On top of the standard tapping and swiping gestures, you’ll also have to get used to Force Touches, as well as a completely new physical button, the Digital Crown. Not to mention that an additional simpler button has its own special set of functions that you’ll have to get used to.
