Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C
herrvogel@lemmy.world 5 days agoThe water thing is just a quirk of capacitive touchscreens. The same happens on the most expensive watches too, which is why there is usually a water mode that you can put the watch into. It sorta locks the touchscreen until you disable it using one of the physical buttons.

I think you need to pay extra for physical buttons.
This one sometimes has a “lockscreen” that needs a swipe up to unlock, but the rain can do that.
Interestingly it doesn’t always have a lockscreen. Sometimes it just switches it on and off depending on how it feels.

the rain falling down can swipe up on the watch?

Rain comes down. Rain goes up. You can’t explain that.

Better rain going up than fire coming down.
