My first reaction after buying my Garmin watch was to disable the touchscreen since it already has buttons. For tracking different sports, the touchscreen adds a potential risk of accidental touches, which could affect measurements and performance. Plus, I'm not certain, but it may consume more battery. I chose this watch for its impressive battery life (including solar charging), so minimizing unnecessary battery use is important to me.

On the other hand, I find it unnatural to have physical buttons on a tablet. My brain takes a moment to adjust to the fact that the volume up and volume down buttons on the iPad reverse their behavior based on the device’s orientation. I would also prefer if fingerprint detection on the iPad were integrated into the display, as seen in some Samsung phones.
