Apple developing series of new gestures for future Apple Watches

If you think the pinch gesture on the new Apple Watch models is impressive, Apple may have more and larger gestures in store in future versions of watchOS for you.

Many gestures are shown, such as launching countdown timers to prevent accidental actions like answering a call from your credit card company instead of sending it to voicemail. The pinch-to-select motion is already used in VR and AR systems, including x, although the Apple Watch is unique in that it uses the movement of the hand muscles to detect the pinch. Controlling my watch's functionality by simply making a hand gesture and rotating my wrist could open up new ways to safely keep in touch with the world.
