Interesting, I always found active autocorrect annoying on computers. I’m fine with how it is in Chrome, just marking potentially wrong words instead of turning each “fuck” into “duck”

Yes that is what hit me first when I saw an app have the title centered at the top. This only really makes sense on a round watch because that’s how some Android apps do it

It works the way it worked before

Oh so the Apple presentation of the new watchOS was just a fever dream everyone was having at the same time worldwide? What an idiotic statement sorry

Yeah when something worked for almost 10 years, and Apple changes it, it’s definitely me who’s suddenly at fault. Wow what a childish mindset that is.

It might seem like a small thing

Not at all. I was so disappointed at how badly most fitness apps integrate with music apps. And even the best integration wouldn’t be able to replace opening the Spotify app to select another playlists etc. so the crown double click was appreciated

What do you mean paying? Do you mean Touch ID? All MacBooks have Touch ID regardless of the Touch Bar, you don’t need the Touch Bar for that

Same on the iPhone. Force touch or 3D touch really was revolutionary so they killed it

Because obviously the developers don’t have influence over how the watchOS menu bar looks like. It’s like saying “why do all developers put the clock at the top in each app”? Do you think all developers magically put the clock at the exact same spot by accident? Obviously not, it’s made like that by Apple.

For what are you using the stocks app tho? I’m into stocks and I always found the stocks experience to be worse than literally any third party stocks app. Can you have a watchlist with your purchase price yet? Or a widget on the iPhone that shows more than like 5 entries (because Apple prefers form over function which makes it an unreasonable choice for most investors?)

Honestly that would be a valid point if they didn’t sell small Watches anymore. Decommissioning the experience of a product you are still selling is a really bad move.

And with an upvote rate of 88% on my post the people who like it seem to be a silent minority

That’s what I’m referring to with the top bar in my post, I really don’t like it

Yeah it feels like they added multi-directional complexity to something that you’d expect to work in one direction only. I think the Apple Watch is the single only product that primarily feeds on being intuitive due to the limited screen size and one-hand use. Not anymore apparently.

Now they just cram in new things everywhere without following a real guideline, making it feel rushed and not really thought-through

I didn’t put the watch face swipe in my post because I think some people simply accidentally swiped all the time but your suggestion making it an option sounds perfect

Yeah the touch bar is fucking useless. I programmed it to simply show the normal keys. Now went with a MacBook Air instead just to avoid the TouchBar, haven’t ever used it for anything except for showing the keys it replaced
