Did watchOS 10 ruin the Apple Watch? (alien.top)

I really hate the interface change with Watch Os 10. It used to be simple and straightforward, but now it’s unnecessary complicated.

Like for example we can’t change watch faces with simple swipe like before which was easy way to swap faces that fit your mood at the moment. Now you have to do way more complicated route to swap faces.

Also the way fitness app works now is not intuitive and contradicts muscle memory I had to finish exercise, since button changed location. I also hate how heart monitor interface looks worse now for some reason.

On the personal note I used to turn Apple Watch crown for fun since I liked the sound it made for some reason, and now this sound is gone, and I miss it.

Anybody else feel the same way about this update?

From everyone I know who upgraded, yes it did ruin it. That’s why I’m keeping mine on version 9 for as long as I possibly can. I’m hoping version 11 fixes a lot of things people hate about 10.

I just bought the watch, couldnt be more happier about it.

I like it, but didn’t at first. There’s definitely a steep learning curve. I just wish performance and battery life were better. My series 5 never used to lag on previous versions, but it may just be the chip in it showing its age.

No. Yes. Maybe.

I love watch os 10! Prefer it over the old ones that didn’t make sense to me. Never used the old dock, but I do use widgets (the one swiping up). And I never accidentally swap watch face this way, perfect! With the old way, I had a watch face with car related things. It wasn’t too fun to swap to that one and accidentally open the trunk or so.
