It would be nice if v3 had an infrared transceiver LED built in like the Lilygo T-Watch. It would be possible to write an app that records the light pattern of the tv remote for adjusting the audio volume, next/previous channel and then control the tv by swiping on the watch.
Apart from that it would also enable the watch to control various Arduino tinker projects via IR. I guess the LED shouldn't add much to the price.
As someone who loves playing and developing games, I'd also like to have some more input methods for v3. At least 2 physical buttons would be great (better 4) or a gyroscope that could be used for moving a ball through a maze or as a steering wheel.
Personally I don't need it to be waterproof. Making it water resistant with some rubber or silicone would be enough for me, since the sensors aren't able to record sensible data while swimming anyways and you can still take it off when showering. Being able to easily change the battery as an end user would be more important to me.
The barometer could theoretically be used to determine if the wearer is inside a building or outside and maybe trigger some energy saving functions in an app. So if the price for the barometer isn't that high, I'd pledge for keeping it.
EDIT:
I'm curious, have you gotten any functionality wishes for the BangleJs3 from your corporate customers?
