Changing watch faces on the watch in OS10

[ssledoux]

I can no longer swipe on the watch to change the face. IDK if this is new for 10, or just a glitch for now. I haven’t read all the details about the update yet.

Anyone?

You have to press the watch face first.

You now have to press on the current watch face. once it reduces in size you can swipe to your other watch faces. I do not see any need for this change. Quite a few changes that have not improved things on the watch.

Pressing on the watch face kept kicking me out after updating to Watch OS 10.

After 10 minutes of being rejected in editing faces; I went to my iPhone and downloaded the Snoopy watch face.

Sort of silly that I could not easily change the face with this new OS.

I wonder if they are reserving the left/right sweep for a future UI feature. I can't see any other reason to remove this. If you use a lot of faces during the day, this will quickly become annoying. I used to use about 3 faces across the day but recently stopped this use pattern so it hasn't been as annoying as it could have been.

Thanks! I was wondering how to do this, and it stopped working from my phone. Now it seems to work again.
