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 don't regret updatting, I do miss a few feature that they removed/changed like the new control center and the clock face swiping gestures. I do like the new aesthetic more because it's definitely prettier. However, the biggest issue was battery life. I updated my SE 2 immediately the moment it came out and my Watch started draining like madness. Barely lasted 16 hours in regular mode and can't go pass 24 hours with Low Power Mode on. Was a total nightmare and it gets even worse when I'm doing workout. A 1 hour workout would drain 50% battery off the watch, therefore I wouldn't dare bringing it to the gym without fully charged it beforehand.

However with the recent 10.1.1, the firmware has been drastically better. The watch tend to last over 24 hours for whatever mode I use, up to 1.5 day with Low Power Mode on. Which is absolutely amazing! But did left my watch with 90% battery health now, quite a pity..
