How do you interact with your Watch?

[Resqu2]

For me the circle of icons is a mess and the dock is ok but I have discovered with two customized Watch faces side by side I never use the dock or the crazy useless circle of icons mess. I use mine like a Watch, track the 3 circles, start a run, walk or bike ride, see who's calling or respond to text nessages using the system replys or Siri. Really enjoying my watch, so much better than the Blaze I had before it.

Modular Watch face allows me to add most of the apps I use. I go to the dock for the rest. I have a simplified Watch face for weekends and evenings when email and messages aren't as important to me.

Agreed about the Circle of icons. Its a complete cluster of annoyance. Hopefully Apple revamps this with Watch OS4.

And I prefer the Solar Watch face. Definitely my favorite.

I rarely use the homescreen, but on the few occasions I do, I have no problem with it because my homescreen is very well organized!

The only thing I ever do is say 'Hey Sir, what the hell time is it?'.

I only check the time or on an notification when it buzzes. The badgets stuff for working out was exciting at first. Now a year later i find em mostly annoying lol

I dont have a single App on mine as i am on my iPhone A LOT and its just not really handy to use

Ah, another fan of the Solar face! Glad to know more of us exists!

I just wish we could add complications to the Solar face. Being able to add even one would be nice.

Overall, I find Watch OS 3 to be faster and more polished then OS 2, but I miss the Activity glance. I kept that glance as the first one to show when I swiped up, so I could swipe up from any watch face to see my activity. Now, I have to scroll among my watch faces until I find the Activity face. I've ended up staying mostly on the Activity face, and miss having it all the time on the Solar face.

Rearrange the order of your watch faces so Activity and Solar are next to each other - then a single swipe left/right gets what you want. My first few (er, leftmost in the lineup) watch faces have most of the complications I ever use, so I rarely end up going to the dock or home screen.

Well, yes, that's what I did. But swiping sideways to go from one Watch face to another isn't as smooth as swiping up a glance. I find that half the time, I end up swiping down the Notification Center instead of moving to the next face.

Plus, I have several other watch faces I've set up to use from time to time. Activity can't be one swipe away from every single watch face.
