What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?

Pro

  • new watch face modular ultra. Lots of complications. I love seeing statues without having to interact.
  • app overview. Much better in that new vertical layout than one large area.

Cons

  • I have the feeling some apps take a second longer to load. But that might be just a feeling or dependant on initial startup.
  • the weather app is totally bloated and with an awful usability. No UI indications for horizontal swipe nor tap gesture. Lots of animations and colors. Needs lots of exploration and time to understand. I mean: it’s the weather!
