I fucking hate it. What is happening at Apple. Exercise and activity settings. Quick access to sleep, theater, flashlight modes and more gone. Making the thing harder to use.

Did you get used to it already? Can you bring some features back?

    I recently got my first watch, series 9, and thus started with watchOS 10. I’m super happy BUT reading all the posts about this topic makes me think that watchOS 9 must have been nothing but fantastic, pure joy and everything was just so much better. Did it brew the coffee on its own as well and changed the kids diaper? /s

    It’s like you didn’t spend the 30 seconds to either read about, or experiment with, the new functionality.

    The change to the weather app temp and precip wheels takes the cake for complete destruction of functionality. Imo it’s not nicer looking either, although some have said they think it is. It’s freaking unusuable under any sort of active outdoor conditions.

      Also big in the weather app. Sometimes the Digital Crown does not allow scrolling between pages!! Restarting the watch seems to be the only fix

        Yeah apple has a little bit of a nannyish vibe, when they just force massive UI changes on us and assume they know what’s best with no flexibility. If you’re gonna be fascist about design, you better be extremely right all of the time (which they are not).

    Nah this is bs

    Hit the button and you got focus, theater, and flashlight. You high!

    My favorite is now the end and pause workout buttons which are guaranteed to mess up your workout

    Then you have the end workout? In red font on a dark background making it hard to read when you have cycling glasses on

    Bad design decisions

    Quick access was not removed. Its activation method changed, which personally I prefer.

    I feel like it was designed for me… since watchOS 10 I actually use the watch more. It sorta makes sense now. Imo and they brought back the swipe to change watch faces feature with a toggle. That one should’ve been a given but it’s coming in the next release. I’m on the beta

    That’s what you get for skipping through the guide that showed you exactly where control center was moved to.
