I get that. It feels like a lot of the changes don't offer an improvement, but were just changed for the sake of doing something different.

Some changes, such as left/right swipe to change watch face, come from Customer Support, Genius Bar visits where customers cannot figure out what is happening.

Other times it comes from the realization that specific features are being used a lot, but are difficult to get to, so they are trying make them easier to access.

And sometimes it comes from some epiphany by a developer on a different way to approach a class of features and the new approach gives room for expansion of those features in the UI.

Unfortunately, watchOS 10 seems to be full of these UI changes, and anyone used to the old way, will get annoyed because their finger memories on longer work, and A) finding out how to do it the new way is a pain, and B) training our fingers to do it automatically is time consuming.

By all means send Apple feedback

It usually takes Apple a while to update the software versions. Pick watchOS 9 and make sure you mention watch OS 10 in the text.

Or, they made changes because they have huge amounts of data on how people use their watches and decided to make it easier for them. It's worth keeping in mind that not everyone has the same prefences and it's just possible you're in a minority on this.

They shouldn't. Not if properly, thoughtfully designed.

Radical, jarring changes that are for not but the sake of change are counter productive and discouraging. The change from 9.x to 10.x has made Apple Watch non-recommendable.

I think watchOS 10 has made certain things better. I love the fact that I no longer look down at my watch and see that the face has gotten accidentally changed. I also really like the new Weather app. The Smart Stack isn't bad and has a lot of potential.

Major updates do take some getting used to!

Yeah, I guess that's why it seems like change for the sake of change.

Most things I do take more steps to do them. There is no way anyone asked for that.

What things take more steps?
