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

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

    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
