after some more detail...
Cant figure out how to smooth out the button. My mesh isnt exactly organized... so mesh smooth really destroys it. Any ideas?
You need to set the smoothing groups. If it still just makes a mess w/ m.s. or equivalent (not sure what app. you're using here) then unfortunately, you just need to make a cleaner mesh.

. I had used a boolean before to get the ring indent... I didnt notice i was using a low poly sphere. oh well... Teaching yourself has its downsides... either way its cool

Don't worry about it. On something this simple, the graphite tools wouldn't have saved you a whole lot of time anyway.
Using a low poly sphere is fine, & the way you should do it. Uneccessary polygons are uneccessary.

You just have to set the smoothing groups &/or put in some chamfers prior to using sub'd / turbosmooth.
If you wanted to get really crafty, you can make that indent from a normal map, in fact, that's an ideal situation for normal mapping.
