Overall I thought the watchOS changes were a huge upgrade to the visual design and power of the platform and its apps.
But I still end up opening the wrong view (control center or app drawer) at least once a day. And it’s been months! If the choice is so unintuitive a reasonably fanboyish user doesn’t learn it after months, it’s probably the wrong choice.

- anamexis 3y agoInterestingly, they did backtrack on removing the "swipe to change watch faces" functionality, and added back a configuration option for it today.
- wlesieutre 3y agoAlthough I’m noticing that mine now brings up every watch face with the time set to 10:09 and then takes a moment to animate changing to the correct time. It looks really stupid with the solar face. And it doesn’t do it just once when a face first loads, it does it every time you switch faces. Hopefully a bug but I’m wondering if someone said “we made it so you can’t switch watch faces quickly, now we can reclaim that RAM and save it for widgets that you didn’t want.”
- n8cpdx 3y agoI’ve also noticed issues with the time on the watch face being out of date. I’ve also seen the date be wrong. It’s a pretty serious flaw that doesn’t get talked about enough. Been around for months at least, I got burned in September and ~May of this year.
