I don't like it on Mac OS, I can get used to it on iOS, but on the watch, this is hideous. Did you see the "enter passcode" buttons? It has nothing to do with the design language of the watch. It looks out of place, it is ugly and slow. This is the first time in 30 years that I disagree with a UI choice of Apple.

it was only a question of time that a "I don't like liquid glass ..." thread would appear here ...

I for one like it, esp the screen you're mentioning, looks clean and fresh, and fast as usual.
I did struggle with readability on the control center, so I turned "reduce transparency" and "increase contrast" on and I'm fine with it now.
BTW, I use control center daily, for the water eject as well as for sleep focus (I use that manually), the passcode screen? when I upgrade watchOS, what, once per month?

So, I'm in the camp of the 26 lovers, on watch, iPhone, iPad and Mac.

I can take or leave the liquid glass design and will have to see where I land over time but it seems to work quicker on my iPhone and AWU.

Actually passcode screen pops up every time I put on the watch.
 
I generally like the new interface. I could probably live with less transparent notifications, but so far everything has been readable.

One thing I still do not like is the small customize tiny buttons on the workout selection screen. Now instead of one of them there are four (that said: I'm only using the top-right one anyway.) Long-press to elect an option would be preferable to me - those are pretty tiny targets (and I'm using an Ultra most of the time - they are worse on my 40mm SE2.)
