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?

I have no issues activating the gesture but I have no reason to use it for anything yet, for me, I'd like to be able to set it so the gesture just done one thing from anywhere in the interface (not just on the now playing screen) i.e. skip a track on Spotfy, it would be easier to trigger whilst jogging than having to double tap by Airpods.
