I’ve been really disappointed by the new Double Tap feature since I got the S9 last month. On top of not having many use-cases, the watch didn’t recognize every time I did the gesture which made it really frustrating to use.

I just realized though that I like to wear my bands on the slightly looser side, which I guess makes it way harder for the watch to recognize when you do the gesture. Tightening up my band has helped tremendously and the watch basically never misses it now.

The lack of many use-cases still is a bummer though. How are you guys using it?

    It’s not that helpful at all. If the double tap feature could be routed to specific commands, like activating Siri, I’d use it a lot. But even when I get a notification, I can even get to “Dismiss”. It always activates the top option so in that regard it’s completely not helpful at all.

    I expected more.
