This new update is god awful in my opinion..... (alien.top)

I pretty much just use my watch as a notification + alarm machine, and I never use widgets. So this update just basically removed the simplicity of swiping up to check the watches battery (how do you even check that now??) and is going to make it far more difficult for me to feel comfortable sleeping with it on, I move around in my sleep all the time so now I'm worried I'm going to move the crown in my sleep and open some app or something..... Not to mention it's removing the tiny joy of having an interactive watch face by spinning the crown around

Apple..... why?

Also, this is off topic but is there a way to disable apple watch controls automatically activating when you watch a youtube video or something similar? I usually use youtube to help me sleep and it's enough of a pain already to need to press it away every time I pull up a new video so it won't mess with it (Which by the way, it does all the time if I forget to click it away. That's why this update is such a huge concern for me) That was pretty much my only pet peeve with the apple watch until this update

I didn't read your whole post, but if you want to see your battery by swiping up, just put it in one of the 3 complication spots.

I was like, is there an update I missed? Come on man,it's been months now.

i just got it last night 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe the monster under your bed is trying to open the apps while you sleep /s

You have to press and hold the Digital Crown to get to the apps. Unless you’re pressing your arm against something that touches the crown nothing will happen.

People get real emotional when their muscle memory needs recalibrating

the new OS doesn’t suck. You just need to learn how to use it again. You got comfortable

Took me about a week.

again, my main concern is accidental inputs while sleeping

muscle memory cant fix that

I’ve always put my watch into sleep mode as I go to bed. It forces you to long press the crown in order to use the screen, and disables always on.

You’ll find it in your focus modes

One button press and one tap of the screen, or you can ask Siri. It also mirrors your phone if you’ve got automatic focus modes set up.

Yeah, I used OS10 in beta (Risky move, I know) and I got used to the new layout really quick too

Listen, a lot of us agree with you, but this sub doesn’t need to be littered with these posts every day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

People really don’t like change huh

You can scroll up and check the battery still , just edit the widget screen.

I dont understand why people are making a fuss out of it !! Its actually an improvement over the past one
