[lazard]

Didn't the owner of cyanogen work at samsung and was one of the main guys working on TouchWiz?

His job status on his fb was software engineer at samsung for a while

He worked for Samsung for 19 months (August '11 - April '13).

In what way? Seems like on a small device like a watch doing something with just a bit of movement from one finger can be seen as simpler and better than needing to use more fingers and muscles to turn something bigger.

Not sure about easier. The greater surface area of a rotating dial would be welcome in many instances. And like the Apple Watch crown, there may be instances where you want to interact, but not obscure content.

The interface has multiple ways to interact as well.
