Today my friend showed me his series 3 on watchos 8 and that grid view is so much better than the watchos 10 grid view on my series 9. Apparently it was like that up till watchos 9

I don't mind it because i use it maybe once every Leap Year. All Apps i use regularly are on my Watch Face.

But you can only fit about 5 and now you can’t even switch watch quickly anymore either, nor quickly jump to the last app you were using. It’s a train wreck

No. It's one of the few things I liked from the update

I think you are pretty alone with that opinion. The new grid mixes the advantages of the old grid and the list view: You can scroll with the crown through all apps and sort them manually.

Yes, from 2D scrolling to 1D scrolling is definitely a downgrade, so I don't update to watchOS 10, and there are a lot of other annoyances. Maybe watchOS 9 is my last as I can see the UX trends at Apple.

I much prefer the new grid layout. It makes much more sense and IMO easier to use.

50/50. Visually I prefer the previous one grid, but it was really unusable (I have 40mm watches with pretty small screen and just can't tap on any app from the first attempt). New grid is more practical, but it looks... for me it looks like the one from the cheap AW copies.
