Dear Apple,

I want to send you my money, but your expensive watch I want to buy is f**ing massive and my wrist is normally sized. I don't really understand why this is still an issue since it's been 4 years.

Thanks,

An "Ultra Mini" with a proper lap button would open my wallet very quickly.

Same, I’d pay for more physical buttons

I just want the extra (vs non-Ultras) button THAT'S ALREADY THERE to allow mapping to "lap". Blew my mind that wasn't possible when I went to try one at the apple store.

LOL @ downvoting this of all things.

Isn't that what it already does if you have the action button set to "workout"?

Not that I could find in settings... the settings menu let me start a workout but that was all I saw. Maybe it just wasn't discoverable... Just looked at the online user manual and the only mention of lap control is in the stopwatch app (not workouts). It does mention secondary actions, but doesn't elaborate... if that actually does control the lap, Apple really sucks at doc.

:shrug:

Plus, I really want a mini version. The Ultra is MASSIVE to the point it's ridiculous.

I’m probably 60% and would feel ridiculous wearing one.
