YEP!!!!!!!This drives me crazy as well. I use the same watch face and at certain times I can see the wind speed or tide levels. It's really annoying and IMO a poor design.
Got a tip for us?

What other things do you believe?
Why do they force us to put the Watch on the charger while updating? My Watch always almost melts... a little more heat and I couldn't touch it. They could simply make a 50 % charge mandatory or something similar. No need to ruin the battery by charging in extreme heat.
Transparent over the complication would be interesting. Perhaps with the new processor they'll be willing to spend the power needed to do so.
thanks for sharing your conspiracy theory ...

On my aw8 it is not fixed either. Only enabling sleep mode fixes it
Haha this makes me crazy too, I only use the analog watch face and it drives me nuts!
That is the correct terminology for anything displayed beyond the time on a watch. A date. Day of the week etc are all complications.
Edit: Grammar
I had a strange battery drain this week maybe the bug was a cause of that.
Honestly, I get the 50% rule because a deteriorated battery might not last long enough if you could start the update with lesser charge than that. And obviously there needs to be enough charge so that the update can complete without the device losing power and potentially getting bricked.
But I feel like they could easily use the battery health info to inform that decision, too. In other words, perhaps require 50% charge; and either, keep it on the charger, or have battery health at or above 80% to be able to install without the charger.
I hope they fix the volume control in the now playing app.
They fixed the auto launch audio app, but broke the volume in the last release.

It's meant to be life-like! My analog watch does the same thing — both minute and hour hands cover the date window!
Yeah not fixed on my Series 8 either.Green tint issue is not fixed on my AW4
You might be right.It's meant to be life-like! My analog watch does the same thing — both minute and hour hands cover the date window!
I will say, however, my previous watch, a Rip Curl Tidemaster, placed the tide and height slightly above the 3 and 9 and thinned out the ends of the hands so they wouldn't completely block data. And the moon phase was big enough it was not obstructed. Watch pictured below
FYI that's not my actual watch. That's a pic I got from eBay. But that's exactly what my watches look like except one has a black face and the other a white face.
Honestly, they are great watches and I always got a lot of compliments on them.
Heavy too. Maybe thats why my Ultra feels light in comparison.

If this bring back green backlight tint I will literally spam Apple with calls and emails wanting refund
Yeah, I am probably one of lucky ones which lost Green tint which was on since +- OS 9.2 just after first update of new S8 which lasted up to 9.5 which I updated by mistake…
Edit: All fine on 9.5.1, maybe a bit more grayish but defines neon green is no more there

Of course it's not an excuse, I'm sure they could've found a workaround, but hey, although I've noticed this, I can't say it ever bothered me that much — I mean you can always tap the complication, as opposed to seeing the date (btw I checked and on a GMT II it's just the minute hand that covers the date — hour hand is fine).
In fact it's about to happen right now!!!Good point about just taping it and yeah my complaint can definitely be classified as first world problems 🥲Of course it's not an excuse, I'm sure they could've found a workaround, but hey, although I've noticed this, I can't say it ever bothered me that much — I mean you can always tap the complication, as opposed to seeing the date (btw I checked and on a GMT II it's just the minute hand that covers the date — hour hand is fine).
Would be cool though if they designed that part of the arm to thin out as it passed a complication.
Who knows though, maybe they did and though it looked tacky.
