I like the feature but find it unreliable and the implementation is a bit messy for my liking. I use it for timers (when it works, which is usually after 2-3 attempts) and for dismissing notifications. The issues I’m having:

• It doesn’t dismiss timers at the first attempt, it always takes 2-3
• For many notifications, it doesn’t dismiss them, it opens them. I find this really inconsistent and rarely what I want, since double tap means I can’t use both hands and opening a notification is more interaction than I’ve already indicated I’m capable of at that moment
• I don’t find the widgets/stacks useful. I would much rather double tap to open and scroll through the notification list. I put two weather widgets in the stack to at least make double tap slightly useful for now.
• For my morning alarm, the screen doesn’t always wake up immediately and double tap doesn’t work when the screen is asleep, so this is a bit pointless. It feels like a bug though.
• Why can I start a workout with double tap but I can’t end one? At least show me the screen with the End and Pause buttons and let me double tap End, then it’s relatively certain I’m not ending it by accident.

It’s a corporate fan fiction site.

I had a first generation SE until a few weeks ago. It served me very well for years. But the battery life wasn’t practical when travelling and I wanted a bigger screen, so I upgraded to an Ultra 2. Amazing upgrade, very happy.

This was one of the few WatchOS changes I actually liked, but it’s great they’re giving people the option back. I’d really like swipe up for control centre (I couldn’t care less about the widgets) and the old design of the Activity app!

Grüße aus Hamburg! I see we’ve gone for similar themes, a pity about the white status bar text!

I reluctantly got used to the control centre. I never use the widgets at all. I mostly hate the full screen apps, especially the Activities app which was such a regressive change. Double tap is nice but undercooked and needs a lot of improvement - it should open the notifications list, not the pointless widgets area.

30-40 minutes for a good triple S: shit, shower and shave.

I’m intrigued more than convinced. For notifications I find it really useful, but on the Home Screen I find the preference towards Smart Stack rather than notification drawer a bit puzzling. I know they’re trying to push a new feature, but the notification drawer is way more useful for most people and I’d like to be able to open it and scroll through notifications via double tap.
