1. A wearable electronic device comprising:
an enclosure defining an interior volume and comprising:
a first glass member defining:
a front surface of the enclosure; and
a first portion of a side surface of the enclosure;
a second glass member defining:
a back surface of the enclosure; and
a second portion of the side surface of the enclosure;
an intermediate member formed of metal and positioned between the first and second glass members and coupled to the first and second glass members, the intermediate member defining a third portion of the side surface of the enclosure;
a watch band coupled to the enclosure;
a sensing system comprising a motion sensing system and a biometric sensing system and configured to detect first information from the motion sensing system and second information from the biometric sensing system; and
a touch-sensitive display within the interior volume and positioned below the front surface and configured to:
display a graphical output through the front surface of the enclosure;
display a first input object along the first portion of the side surface of the enclosure; and
while the first input object is displayed along the first portion of the side surface of the enclosure and in response to the sensing system detecting a change in a use condition of the wearable electronic device based at least in part on the first information from the motion sensing system and the second information from the biometric sensing system, cease displaying the first input object and display a second input object, different from the first input object, along the first portion of the side surface of the enclosure.
