So is this effectively the equivalent of iPhone App Switcher? ie does it show a long list of all previously opened apps? Or is it limited to 10 or so!
Can someone show a screenshot of you get back to a running app like music/podcast/playing now or even an active Workout?
Can you edit the metrics screens of a workout from the phone or do you have to do it on the watch like since watchos9?
Thanks in advance!
Tips widget just disappeared for me. With widgets accessible from crown. I am planning on using full screen watch faces. Never used a watch face that don’t have complications, I always need 4 complications minimum in my watch face, now with widgets I can live with full screen watch face.
I went to my phone and under watch -> software update, selected beta 10, but now every time i am trying to unselect it, it show message "update iPhone First" and if i cancel, it return to main screen (General), not allowing me to unselect beta 10 from software update.
Can't swipe between faces on my SS S7. Not even after a restart. Nor after removing and re-adding watch faces.

Nice, thanks for the tip on double clicking the crown. I had no idea it did this or I just forgot because I didn’t need it. Definitely a solid workaround for the missing dock.
Running watch os 10 beta on my Apple Watch 4 SBSS, and wow very surprised how much faster the watch feels now.
Initially after the install had few gui glitches but seems to be generally stable now. One issue I have is that my new messages count on my home face seems to be not refreshing. Gonna restart here and see if it resets the count. Other than that, running smooth

Yes, It shows completly wrong data for me.
BTW. there is bigger battery consumption I think. I ran today for 21,5 km with AirPods and listening to offline music and battery goes down by 33%.
Installed it on my Ultra yesterday evening, battery life took a small hit but it has been less than 24 hours, so let's see with more time.
Like it so far, only thing that is annoying is the fact you can't swipe through the faces anymore, hopefully it will come back in a later beta, I can't see why they would remove that feature.
I love the auto night mode on the Ultra based on ambient light now, I was wondering why it wasn't there in the first place when I bought the Ultra.

I have to admit that watchOS 10 is a little bit laggier that iOS 17, especially when scrolling. However, I think for a daily basis the performance and battery are okay. I disconnected my Ultra from the charger at 5 am, now at around 11 am I got 92% left.
Although, no activities/apps used.

First day at the gym with the Ultra and 10. I use the latest AirPod Pros. Definitely a little glitchy and cluttered. Handoff from the phone to the watch to play music was poor and took some time. I don’t carry my phone around the gym. It stays in the locker. Took a while to get Music to play from the watch but I figured it out about four menus deep. I’m honestly not sure shuffle is working. Surprisingly, Spotify was much easier to get going, if only I’d sounded as good as Apple Music. I can deal with this. As long as I have music I can’t battle out the beta trials and tribulations.

So is it right that with the new update it removes the scrolling functionality from watch faces that had it to accommodate the new widget access? Like the Solar Dial etc.
I’m honestly not sure what people are referring to on scrolling through watch faces. When I long press my current face, I can scroll left and right and select a different face just as before.
But can you just swipe left and right without long pressing first, like you can WatchOS9?
Nope, but I didn't know you could do that with 9, lol! Guess I don't know what I am missing.
Maybe they will add it back in future betas. That's not unheard of.
Personally I’m glad swiping watch faces without holding first is gone because while it’s pretty rare I have had accidental swipes somehow which is annoying when it happens. If they bring it back as something I can toggle on or off then great for those who like it but for me I love the change.
I bet they will. The gesture hasn‘t been re-used for something else, so why take it away.
Hmmm...it was working fine for me this morning on my Ultra. What watch are you using?
Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face brings up widgets, the same exact thing as spinning the crown. I am sure they are working on eliminating redundancy and adding functionality.
