watchOS 27 Features Dynamic App Grid, New Gesture Control, and More

[anthony13]

I use my watch for three things. Step tracking, flash light, and notifications.

Ironically notifications is by far the most important. I turn off all health features. I think of the watch more as a utility tool. So I think the ultra was over kill for me, although my series 5 never had long enough battery life. I think I might go pick up a series 11 and ‘down grade’ from my ultra that’s now ‘obsolete’. I can’t see ever spending significant money on an Apple Watch again when they seem to be so fixated on health when I would rather have sports man like utility from it.

I actually forgot gesture control existed. I may need to look into that since I can’t rely on my mic anymore.

New gestures could be useful. Have to try out the new dynamic layout.

New gestures? This article only details one. On the AW, most gestures are not useful, I find.

Can we choose to use the dynamic grid or keep the current one?

I am not using the 27 Betas so I am wondering if they have added a third option to the App-View in the Apple Watch iOS App where you currently select Grid or List View.
