I have TRIED to like watchOS 10. Hell, I was pretty excited for new features, but it’s been a massive disappointment. I don’t use the widgets at all, since I already have everything I want on my watch face. The control center was great where it was, and the Digital Crown and side buttons have been completely changed. I can’t double press on the crown to return to my previous app, which I used multiple times a day. Now I have to use the dock to return to my last app, which adds extra steps. Apple Watch was great because of how efficient it was to use, but WatchOS 10 has made added so many steps to any action. I’m really hoping Apple will give us the option for this new UI or the old one, because it sucks.
And the media player sucks, it sometimes (involuntarily) pairs to my iphone and for god’s sake I can’t find a way to unpair it, damn it, I just want to play music from my watch itself; it used to have an entry in the menu, well, it’s no longer there… the only way around I found is just restarting my watch and play the music again.
This I believe is because it’s set to use the media player without the phone. They figure if you have the phone you’d use it over the watch. I have zero issues when I leave the phone behind. I’m assuming you mean from the watch over BT as it doesn’t play just on the watch ever.
No love it
I’ve grown to really like it. I used to have to use multiple watch faces to cover all the app/complications I used throughout the day, now I can easily scroll down and there they all are in the same place.
All I can say is thanks to you folks. I’m still on 9 because of all these posts.
Minority viewpoint: I like it. A lot. WatchOS needed a visual refresh. The scroll Notification Center thingy is useful and allows me to use faces without a lot of complications. Still easy to swap between faces, but is now more intentional than accidental. Finally, the Apple Music upgrades are awesome - looks better, runs snappier over cellular.
Yep. Saw it in beta earlier this year and switched to Garmin. Kevin Lynch, who was the Watch OS guru at Apple, left the team earlier this year which is a shame and IMO why it sucks so much now.
This has been posted EVERY. SINGLE. DAY
It horrible
It’s worse tbh. I miss swimming down to toggle certain options and I don’t use widgets at all. I’m not sure I’m crazy about autonight mode
Really… again? every day a post about this?
I’m not a fan of it either but I’ll learn… and it’ll become normal in due time.
I feel i’m in the minority that likes it.
Anyone else tired of these kind of posts appearing multiple times a day?
Yes, it’s garbage on my Series 7.
Unpopular opinion but I like some of the new features, and since I use the Metropolitan face, I like that you have to tap the screen to resize the numbers because I was always bumping the crown with my wrist and messing up the way I had it set.
