An electronic watch includes a housing member defining a hole along a side surface of the housing member, and a haptic button. The haptic button may include an input member positioned at least partially within the hole and defining an input surface, a magnet configured to generate a magnetic field, and a conductive coil coupled to the input member and positioned at least partially within the magnetic field. The electronic watch may further include a processing unit configured to cause an electrical current to pass through the conductive coil, thereby moving the input member along a translation direction perpendicular to the input surface to produce a haptic output. The conductive coil may be fixed to an interior surface of the input member.
