    Great news. I used set up a minimal face, and the same face but with extra complications either side of it. Then leave the minimal one selected most of the time. I look forward to returning to that.

      Very close to what I did. I used a minimal Watch face 99% of the time, but I had 2 completely unique Watch faces on either side of it, full of apps that one might need occasionally, but needing super quick access. Because it was on a Watch face and thus a fixed position, it helped me build muscle memory to launch those apps or just look at the info on it very efficiently.

      My main Watch face just has the time, date/day of the week and a small Activity rings complication (no numbers), with 80% of the face being empty space. Being a number-loving person with ADHD, I really need LESS numbers on my screen at all times.

      Some of the things on the other 2 Watch faces are: Weather, time in another time zone, Noise app (to check if it is too loud right now), Compass, Activity rings complication (with numbers), my country’s stock market index (graph), my sleep duration for last night, starting my daily walking workout.

      Really looking forward to it coming back.

    I am staying on the previous OS Build. I am never going to downgrade to that inferior version.

    Changing the watch face is more difficult now than it was in the past. To change the watch face on an Apple Watch, you have to long-press the display and then swipe or rotate the digital crown.

    I’m just imagining some apple bro sobbing while trying to hold down the face for 2 seconds, and how miserable their life is that they now have to do that extra step.

    Did people actually miss that? I found swipe to change faces was awful because it meant it could happen inadvertently. It’s much better to just press and hold to then swap between them.

    The option to swap swipe up and button functions back would have been a much better qol fix.

    I hope this is true. The new way of switching is worse and having the option to turn the swipe back on should have always been there

    This is how I realized I haven’t updated my watch past 9. My swipe never went away.

    Honesty surprised they listened to the feedback. I did bother to file a complaint, didn’t think it would make a difference.
