WatchOS 10 opinion? (alien.top)

Some time has now passed and watchOS10 was from what I read here on reddit probably the most controversial Apple OS update for this year.

It brought many changes and removed and added features that required some getting used to.

So after all this time, how happy are you with it?

Do you regret updating? What do you really like and what do you (still) dislike?

I still find it is slower to access the infomation I want most of the time, though the fix to the temp complication at least made me stop wanting to smash my watch every time I used it. Some examples:

I prefered the scrolling interface to the screen by screen. I use the temperature complication rather than conditions for the Weather app. To then get to conditions, it is multiple taps rather than a quick swipe.

Activity is a mixed bag--with swiping/scrolling I'd often overshoot what I was looking for, and need to go back. Now it's multiple actions or getting used to using the digital crown, which I basically never did before.

I understand why they made the changes they did, and for many use-cases it will likely be easier. But for some (e.g. Weather app), it's more work. Hopefully continued refinements will help. I wish I had been able to wait to upgrade to 10 for another couple months, but upgraded my X to an 15 Pro so was pretty much forced to upgrade.
