I’m still going to stay with the new way but it’s amazing they listened and changed it so fast.

Shocked but very happy. Why they didn’t roll this out as a toggle to begin with is beyond me.

How do u turn it off? Cause I hate it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just curious. Why do you hate it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Cause I always accidentally swipe to a different face when I don’t want to

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I rarely change watch faces, so I don’t care either way. Happy for the people that complained about it constantly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Oh great. I stopped changing faces because of this.

They will bring it back in 10.2. The current version is 10.1.1, so they didn't bringt it back yet.

I also won’t be switching back, but it is pretty cool of them. Now, if only every interface change could be optional!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I am so happy to have it back. I didn’t realize how much I missed it was reverted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

New way is better. I turn that auto night mode 💩 off. Make a duplicate in night mode and long press and pick when I want it. Then for other faces during times of day I have focus setups and depending on needs use automation times in shortcuts to turn on and off.

Can someone explain what the problem is? There's a second delay on 10.1 to change faces so you can't do it by accident like before. What's changed (changing)?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The traditional way of changing faces was a swipe left or right. With watch OS 10 Apple changed that to touch and press screen then swipe left or right.

I prefer it now. It was daft before. I'd move my sleeve to look at my watch and have a different face.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

yeah . 👍 i change depend on usage. . now just one .cant wait new version is up(not prefer beta version even i can access it )

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How do i change it? I can’t find it on the new beta

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

On your watch go to settings>clock

I think I've had 5 watch faces in the two and a half years I've had my watch. The swiping thing annoyed me because I'd brush the watch and it would change faces. So, I've been happy with the change. I do think it would be great if they made it so we could turn that option on or off, depending on our taste.

I like the option of not having to press before swiping.
