Has double tap been useful for you? (alien.top)

I’ve been really disappointed by the new Double Tap feature since I got the S9 last month. On top of not having many use-cases, the watch didn’t recognize every time I did the gesture which made it really frustrating to use.

I just realized though that I like to wear my bands on the slightly looser side, which I guess makes it way harder for the watch to recognize when you do the gesture. Tightening up my band has helped tremendously and the watch basically never misses it now.

The lack of many use-cases still is a bummer though. How are you guys using it?

It’s a beta feature for the Vision Pro, it’s shocking how they rolled this out for the watch first and called it a feature lol.

    ….it uses completely different mechanisms. Vision Pro uses cameras to track movement. The watch uses the back health sensors and I’m assuming the accelerometer

    Fun fact. It’s also not the first double tap movement. They tested it with accessibility at a lower accuracy as well.
