I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.
But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

I use one every day. I could probably write an essay on why, but one reason sticks out: tactile buttons. It’s great to be able to skip a track without having to poke around on a screen to find the virtual button.
I just do that with my headphones. Skipping, volume, play/pause.
Or on my watch.
Don’t you still need to press a virtual button?
The Motorola one vision has a feature that if you hold down the volume button it skips and gives you a vibration as feedback. I miss it so much on my pixel 6 with grapheneos
Oh yeah, I have that on my Samsung as use it religiously. I was asking about if it was possible on a smartwatch.
The Garmin sport watches have buttons for that, at least the Fenix series (the newer versions have additionally touchscreen support).
It has a twist bezel and two remappable side buttons. OG galaxy watch
I have a Galaxy watch 4! Unfortunately the two buttons can’t be mapped to media controls.
Tactile buttons are the main reason I got one too! It’s getting hard to find new Digital Audio Players that still have physical buttons (and that doesn’t run Android). I ended up getting a Sony NW-A55 a few years ago and i love it.
