    i wish i held off… maybe give it until 10.2. there’s not exactly anything that you’re missing out on as far as features anyway

    I know there are a lot of people that don’t like it, but for me it’s great.

    • The widgets are perfect. I can have a simple watch face now and easily get to other things I need by just scrolling the crown - No more trying to cram as many complications as possible on the modular face.
    • I hated always accidentally switching my watch face by swiping, so the fact that they got rid of swipe to change face is my favorite feature
    • Battery life in my S7 is… the same? Haven’t noticed any difference, still charge it for 100% before I go to bed, wear it all night and all day then charge it again to 100% before bed - It usually has around 20% left after 24 hours.

    I know some people have had a hard time with the changes and some problems with battery life but for me its been smooth and I enjoy all of these changes.

    It’s fine. Been using it since beta.

    People are just whiney. Also the swiping between faces crying has been heard and is reverted in the current beta so it should be out in public soon.

    And don’t skip updates because people are crying. Thats just about the stupidest thing you could do.

    I’ve had no issues with it… I think it’s just those that don’t like/or have had an issue are vocal about it. Those that do like it and have had no issues with it just carry on with their day. I suspect its a very small % of users that have had an issue with it.

    It depends. Personally I prefer watchOS 9, because I think the Smart Stack could have just been a new watch face instead of moving literally every control to put it where control center was. I would like it if they brought an update to make face swipe a toggle because I like to swipe between faces multiple times a day, and I do prefer the black minimalistic look of the apps prior to the update.

    All that said I have gotten used to everything, except the useless Smart Stack; but that is user preference.

    Yes, it’s that bad. I wish I could roll back to 9. Even with the “fixes” my battery drain is wild, on top of the terrible button mapping changes
