This is a big reason why I wish things had removable batteries, and I really don't want to buy anything without a hardware force shutdown process. Thankfully laptops have it, but I don't think phones do anymore.
Having to wait till a device runs out of battery is a nightmare scenario
I agree. The System UI has been crashing hard on my S23 Ultra recently due to the One UI 6.0 Beta, which means I can't open any app or even shutdown—nothing happens. Thankfully, you can force a shutdown by holding Volume Down and Power for 15 seconds.
There should always be a hardware force shutdown option.
Ha! I came to say the same thing. It looks like a woman's watch on my wrist. My wife pointed out how feminine it looks on me and she's right. It needs some bulk for men and larger women.

I don't think I'd buy a device with no buttons I mean it could work fine UI wise but what do you do if an app freezes.

Maybe shake it repeatedly so that the gyroscope picks it up. 😄 Would be an inherent human response anyway.

They need to make it bigger for a start!

Yep. Until they have a larger case size, it's a nonstarter for me, regardless of features

But can it make its battery last 5 days? 😅

That's why I love my Garmin. 4 years old and still lasts 5 days.

Same with Fitbit. 👌

This is a new patent, but it sounds like Project Soli from the Pixel 4.
