Closing apps definitely seems smoother now, on my SE 2.

Apple fixed watchOS 17 finally! The ETA was missing from Apple Maps directions since 17.0 release. It’s back now!

I hope they added new Emoji too... thats critical. Emoji are important.

You got be kidding. Memoji's are superior to emoji's

I don't get why my update only showed up today while I have the setting set to automatically update the watch.
That's nearly one month later than this post, dated 7 March.

Well... I don't know when I moved to 10.4 but I am on it right now and this is the first time I'm having trouble with "ghost touches". Whenever I double-click the crown, if I don't immediately select something or scroll really fast, whatever is "current" gets selected. Not sure if this is ghost touches or some other dumb "feature".

A couple of weeks ago, my Apple Watch began draining the battery at a very fast rate. It would be totally dead within a couple of hours. I contacted Apple, and the person I spoke to said it was because I was on the beta WatchOS. She had me send the watch in for repair, and they removed the beta WatchOS, replacing it with the regular WatchOS. When the watch came back, it worked perfectly! This morning I woke up to discover that my Apple Watch updated on its own overnight to the latest (non-beta) WatchOS. Guess what? It's draining the battery again like it did on the beta! I've been an Apple fan since 1985, and I'm getting really disillusioned with the quality of its products and, most of all, its operating systems and other software.

This week I updated my series 5 to 10.4. Previously have had no issues whatsoever with the watch but since the update, my watch is displaying the same issues you alluded to. Have you discovered a fix for this issue or is it still present?

It kind of took care of itself over a couple of days, but it eventually stopped pulling down the battery. I don't know how it happened, but it did.
