Thoughts on watchOS 10 (www.apple.com)

What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?

Overall I think it the visual refresh throughout the is very nice.

I have 2 major gripes:

I really like being able to quickly swipe around to different watch faces. This should be brought back with a control center toggle. So those who get lots of accidental swipes can lock it down. Sometimes I would get them too but not as frustrating as the loss of quick swipe for me.

Second, the changes implemented as a result of widgets. Getting to widgets is just a simple swipe up! Oh also just a simple scroll up with the crown! Why does this need two different ways to access from the watch face? This has resulted in loss of old function on the side button. It also has resulted in loss of function with the Digital Crown: for example on the metropolitan face you could play with the height of the numbers with the crown.
