Original Abstract Submitted

an input mechanism, such as a crown, detects amounts of applied force. in various examples, an assembly including an input mechanism has an enclosure; a stem coupled to the enclosure such that the stem is rotatable, translatable, and transversely moveable with respect to the enclosure; a sensor, coupled between the stem and the housing, to which force is transferred when the stem moves with respect to the housing; and a processing unit coupled to the sensor. the processing unit is operable to determine a measurement of the force, based on a signal from the sensor.
