Can we rotate the digital crown in Apple Watch simulator without having a mouse- or trackpad?

Question

The only reference I can find in operating (rotating/turning) the digital crown on the Apple Watch 2.0 / 3.x simulator is by using a track/mouse-pad. Is it possible with a mighty mouse to rotate/turn the digital crown in a simulator?

Answer 1

Any pointing device with a scroll capability will work, whether that is a gesture or a physical scroll wheel.

Position the pointer inside the crown button area then perform the scroll gesture.

edit: By popular demand, Xcode 11 allows you to perform the scroll gesture anywhere within the watch window to scroll the digital crown.
