I suspect Apple Will eventually remove/delete the digital crown. I think it could be replaced with some type of ‘haptic Touch’ with some type of digital slider Implemented. Anyways, I get what you’re saying, I just think the digital crown doesn’t serve that much functionality aside from scrolling/double clicking, if They remove the digital crown, It would continue to strengthen the water resistance.
Before we saw the Apple Watch my guess on its form was a circular design that allowed a user to run their finger around the circumference to scroll.
Having written a couple of watch apps now I'd be surprised if the crown disappeared.
How does that OPPO watch handle scrolling through options with 2 buttons and no wheel?
Think of setting a time in the timer app as a good example of Apple's picker UI.
 
They have to by sure they will not be sued or they want to be to get media presence over long period of time while disputation last. And are sure that potential fine wont kill them.
