Various embodiments for detecting and rejecting false, unintended rotations of rotary inputs of electronic devices are disclosed herein. In one example, an electronic device is provided with an optical detector that measures the distance between the electronic device and the wearer's forearm or hand, and when the distance is smaller than a threshold distance, the turns of the rotary input are false, unintended turns. In another example, a crown of a rotary input includes a plurality of capacitive sensors that detects the presence of a wearer's finger, which when absent, the turns of the rotary input are false turns. In another example, deflections or positions of a shaft of the rotary input are measured and if the deflections/positions indicate an upward force on the rotary input (which are likely caused by the wearer's forearm or hand), the turns of the rotary input are false turns. Other embodiments are described herein.

1. An electronic watch comprising: a housing;a processor;a touch screen positioned at least partially within the housing; anda crown positioned along a side of the housing, wherein the electronic watch is configured to: determine a characteristic of a rotation of the crown;in response to the characteristic of the rotation of the crown satisfying a condition, alter graphical content displayed on the touch screen in response to the rotation of the crown; andin response to the characteristic of the rotation of the crown not satisfying the condition, not alter the graphical content displayed on the touch screen in response to the rotation of the crown. 2. The electronic watch of claim 1, wherein: the characteristic of the rotation of the crown satisfies the condition if an amount of rotations of the crown is greater than a threshold amount of rotations; andaltering the graphical content displayed on the touch screen in response to the rotation of the crown comprises scrolling a menu of items displayed on the touch screen in accordance with the rotation of the crown. 3. The electronic watch of claim 2, wherein the threshold amount of rotations is less than one rotation. 4. The electronic watch of claim 1, wherein the characteristic of the rotation of the crown satisfies the condition if a rate of rotation of the crown is greater than a threshold rate of rotation. 5. The electronic watch of claim 1, wherein: the electronic watch further comprises: a shaft coupled to the crown; anda rotary encoder configured to detect rotation of the shaft; andthe electronic watch is further configured to determine the characteristic of the rotation of the crown based on a detected rotation of the shaft. 6. The electronic watch of claim 1, wherein altering the graphical content displayed on the touch screen comprises activating an inactive display. 7. The electronic watch of claim 1, further comprising one or more sensors configured to detect a contact between a user's finger and the crown. 8. An electronic device comprising: a housing;a display coupled to the housing; anda rotatable input member coupled to the housing and comprising a shaft connected with a crown;a first sensor configured to detect a rotation of the rotatable input member; andone or more second sensors configured to detect a contact between the rotatable input member and a user, wherein the electronic device is configured to: determine whether the contact between the rotatable input member and the user corresponds to a first type of input or a second type of input; andin response to the contact between the rotatable input member and the user corresponding to the first type of input, not alter graphical content displayed on the display. 9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the contact between the rotatable input member and the user corresponds to the first type of input if the contact is detected along a bottom side of the crown. 10. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the electronic device is further configured to, if the contact between the rotatable input member and the user corresponds to the second type of input, alter the graphical content displayed on the display in accordance with the rotation of the rotatable input member. 11. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the contact between the rotatable input member and the user does corresponds to the second type of input if the contact is detected along a top side of the crown. 12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the one or more second sensors comprise one or more capacitive sensors. 13. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the first sensor is a rotary encoder. 14. An electronic watch comprising: a housing;a display coupled to the housing; anda crown coupled to the housing and rotatable relative to the housing, wherein the electronic watch is configured to: detect an input that results in a rotation of the crown;determine if a characteristic of the input satisfies a condition,in response to the characteristic satisfying a condition, alter graphical content displayed on the display in response to the rotation of the crown; andin response to the characteristic not satisfying the condition, not alter the graphical content displayed on the display in response to the rotation of the crown. 15. The electronic watch of claim 14, wherein the characteristic of the input satisfies the condition if a rate of the rotation of the crown is greater than a threshold rate. 16. The electronic watch of claim 14, wherein the characteristic of the input satisfies the condition if an amount of the rotation of the crown is greater than a threshold amount of rotations. 17. The electronic watch of claim 14, wherein the electronic watch further comprises a sensor configured to detect a contact between a user's finger and the crown. 18. The electronic watch of claim 17, wherein the characteristic of the input satisfies the condition if the sensor detects the contact between the user's finger and the crown while detecting the rotation of the crown. 19. The electronic watch of claim 17, wherein the characteristic of the input satisfies the condition if the sensor detects the contact between the user's finger and the crown along a top surface of the crown. 20. The electronic watch of claim 19, wherein the characteristic of the input does not satisfy the condition if the sensor detects the contact between the user's finger and the crown along a bottom surface of the crown.
