One of the main uses of the watch for me is answering the question: “is it going to rain in the next few hours?”

It seems in the latest update they made the visual difference between cloudy and rainy really small! Can you tell if it’s raining or not if you glance at this?

Here’s the actual difference, makes a huge difference, at least with my eyesight. Latest Watch OS

The only way I can tell now is if the cloud icon is *slightly raised* above the baseline, it's going to rain. If every one of those five clouds is the same, I have no idea if it's raining or cloudy.
 
Oh jeez! I’m still on watch is 7 and I have a hard enough time telling the rain from the cloud icons now. The new ones look terrible.
