Apparently that is why it is now proposing a method for precise and unobtrusive gesture control of the Apple Watch via its attached wristband and electrodes detecting hand motion sequences:
Electrodes that can be formed in a flexible band of a wrist-worn device to detect hand gestures are disclosed. Multiple rows of electrodes can be configured to detect electromyography (EMG) signals produced by activity of muscles and tendons. The band can include removable electrical connections (e.g., pogo pins) to enable the electrode signals to be routed to processing circuitry in the housing of the wrist-worn device. Measurements between signals from the active electrodes and one or more reference electrodes can be obtained to capture EMG signals at a number of locations on the band. The measurement method and mode of operation (lower power coarse detection or higher power fine detection) can determine the location and number of electrodes to be measured. These EMG signals can be processed to identify hand movements and recognize gestures associated with those hand movements.
Apple patent N12056285, August ’24
Apple is envisioning all kinds of hand gestures that can be detected by the electrodes in the Watch band and make it react accordingly.

These range from the clutching of fingers to making wave gestures, though we fail to see how would those be less dorky and more subtle than the Double Tap gesture in social circumstances. The Apple Watch accessibility options now allow such gestures to command it anyway. Making a fist could stop the Apple Watch alarm, for instance, and the movement works, as evidenced by its inclusion in the patent filing schematics here.
It remains to be seen if such a gesture control suite aided by electrodes in the Apple Watch band will get wider recognition and acceptance, but at least Apple is trying to make the whole process less dorky and more precise.
