Don’t update if you like swiping between watch faces!!

My biggest regret is updating my watch.

They took away one of the best features and that was swiping between watch faces. On a day to day basis I would use 2-3 depending where I am, what time it is and what I am doing. I had set them up for different things. My main was in the middle and then one to the left and one to the right.

Now in the last few days of having the update I’ve stop using the others watch faces because when I need to quickly do something it’s not quick anymore, I actually have to stop and manually change faces and I never realized how handy it was before because if I need something on those other faces except the main one I just no longer use it.

Yes I realise that it’s first world problems but removing that one feature has given me such a massive distain towards using my Apple Watch for anything besides fitness.

I have the 5 and I was planning on getting the 10 next year because maybe more features I could put across the three faces that I use but now, unless they bring the feature back I’m not buying a new Apple Watch until mine disintegrates.

And yes I realise I may be over reacting but swiping between faces was such an important feature for me!

This is has drastically reduced usability for me. I always swiped between watch faces to glance at important information. But bow my primary workflow is broken and I won’t be buying new Apple Watch unless I can use the old behavior.

You can’t press and then swipe? It takes 2 seconds.

I don't understand the down votes - I agree, it's still easily doable by just press and holding then choosing a watch face...
