Yeah same here. I'm not sure I really buy it as control mechanism for playing though.

There was a great fishing mini game in one of the N64 Zelda titles.
This crank would have ruled.

I had one of those dedicated fishing games back in the day with a crappy LCD display and a crank. Played it to death.

The Dreamcast had a game and controller to go with it.

I've seen those things. Had no idea they were that engaging.

The Digital Crown on Apple Watch is a thing though. I’m ready to give it the benefit of doubt.

Most apps don’t use it and Watch OS 2 introduced the ability to scroll with your finger instead of the crown, since no one was using it

I'm surprised you say that - I have an Apple Watch and I genuinely love the ability to scroll with the crown - I don't block the display with my finger and I get tactile feedback.

I’m more concerned with how long this thing is going to last.

I view it more as a collectible art piece that you can interact with.

It looks uncomfortable to spin the crank while using the other controls, which means you’d want it to be used exclusively if at all.
