Is it annoying to have the Home button be the crown?

[f1vespeed]

This one hasn't been talked about in reviews. Once you have this thing strapped to your head and you're getting into the flow, what does it feel like to have to reach up and press a button on the device to see your apps?

I would think you wouldn't want to touch the device after getting comfortable, and that it would be fatiguing to reach up all the time to get your apps. Anyone who tried this have any thoughts?

No need to press the physical crown button to bring up the apps. You can just look outside of any active window, pinch to get the control center, then select the app menu from there.

Thanks for clarifying! That sounds a lot better

Did not know this thank you!

I just got out of an Apple Store demo, and I liked the physical home button. Sort of gave me a way to re-center everything. That being said I'm glad to hear from other replies there's a software option.

This is like a 5-second ordeal. It's terrible

Seems crazy that they didn't put Home up there instead of Control Center

I do find the button less than ideal, and like that Control Center has a software option. But this feels like it should be another gesture (exposé style anyone?)

Is there an easy way to clear all the app clutter in the background? Right now I say Siri close all apps, then Siri open Disney for example if I want to clear them to watch a movie.

Agree

A option to display a dock at all times seems an obvious miss here. Surely this will come with the next OS update.
