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.
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
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.
It’s horrible for me and I hate it, too. My Apple Watches are now in the drawer since the last updates, not wearing them anymore. Thanks Apple!!!
Interested in selling? Which watches do you have and what do you want for them?
Awww…. Muffin
yes I didn’t upgrade
I’m so fucking tired of hearing about watchOS 10 lmao. It’s not bad at all
Adapt, you’ll be okay.
Well, we did get a stopwatch that doubles as a flashlight.
Yeah holy shit it’s the worst
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.
Yes… changing to garmin
I like it. Easier to access control center with a button press regardless of where in the watch you are (swipe from the bottom only worked for me on the watchface, never in apps).
Stacks are nice and they let me use less “complicated” watchfaces without the feel of missing out on functionality. Though I’d love to be able to set up different stacks per watchface.
I see this posted a couple of times a day and I’m beginning to feel bad that I don’t hate watchOS10.
The watch face that I use almost all the time didn’t change. It took about 1/2 a day to get used to the button changes. I haven’t had any battery issues and have come to like the optimized charging feature. I got with the program and set up a couple of automations to change the face so that I can easily control my music when I’m at work.
The watch still buzzes and tells me to get off my fat ass when I’ve been sitting too long. My alarms still sound. My text notifications still notify.
If I had any complaints, I’m not extremely fond of the stock weather app, but I have an alternative that I usually use anyway. And even the stock app only requires a couple of extra taps to get to the info that I like to see. I would like a couple of different faces or the ability to further modify the one I use most (Modular).
All in all - a big nothingburger for me. But I’m working on generating some hate. Give me a couple more weeks….
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.
It took me about a month and a half to get used to it. When I grabbed my Series 6 it was horrible going back.
Your mileage will vary.
Anyone else tired of these kind of posts appearing multiple times a day?
