1. A wearable device comprising:
an input interface;
a first sensor detecting wearing information about the wearable device;
a second sensor detecting inertial information about the wearable device;
a display;
memory storing one or more computer programs; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the input interface, the first sensor, the second sensor, the display, and the memory,
wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the wearable device to:
identify change information about a roll value and a pitch value of the wearable device, based on the inertial information detected by the second sensor in case that the wearing information about the wearable device is detected by the first sensor,
identify a direction in which the display faces. based on the identified change information about the roll value and the pitch value of the wearable device,
determine that the direction in which the display faces corresponds to an outside of a field-of-view range of a user in case that an arm of the user on which the wearable device is disposed swings for a predetermined period or greater, which is determined based on a changing period of the identified change information about the roll value and pitch value is being the predetermined period or greater,
change an input determination threshold value of the input interface from a first threshold value to a second threshold value greater than the first threshold value in case of determining that the direction in which the display faces corresponds to the outside of the field-of-view range of the user, and
perform an operation corresponding to an input in case that a value greater than the input determination threshold value is input through the input interface.
