Since "up"dating my S5 to watchOS 10, I've experienced nothing but issues. Here are some of the bigger ones:
  • Siri no longer speaks responses
  • Siri doesn't work at all if I'm using my AirPods
  • ~25% of notifications never come through
These are in addition to an ongoing issue with the watch not leaving a timed focus mode nor properly mirroring my phone.

And these are on top of my frustrations with changes in watchOS 10 itself:
  • The loss of the dedicated app switcher button
  • The redesigned app switcher that requires more scrolling than it used to
  • Lots of workout buttons moved around for seemingly no reason
Is anyone else having the same issues? Is anyone else frustrated? I've started wearing a normal watch. It doesn't get even 75% of my notifications, but at least I don't need to charge it.
 
The only one I can help with is the Siri responses. For some reason 10 switched it to "Control With Silent Mode".
On the Watch App go to Siri, select Siri Responses and switch it back to "Always On".

The bottom parts of your note are pretty much just get used to it stuff.
