I'm reposting this since this elicited not real responses in the main beta thread.

Is anyone annoyed by the new Dock behavior where the last used app is not persisted? Specifically, when the Dock order is set to "Favorites" but upon going to the watch face and then pressing the Dock button, the Dock is scrolled all the way back to the top. Extremely annoying to me and breaks the a cardinal rule of UI -- persistence.

watchOS 3 properly retains the last Dock's scroll position on entry to the Dock (as long as the app is in the Favorites list.) Can't understand why this might be changed. I thought it was an oversight but it's near the end of the beta cycle so I'm fearing this is an intentional change. Perhaps this is to support the last used app being at the top of the list. In watchOS 3, the most recently used app is placed last in the list.

Very surprised this has not come up already.
 
I’m not really a massive fan of the new dock as well. Like it just got changed to make it new. The old were fast and looked good

Yeah, it’s not faster for me, and I don’t see all of the content

I stopped using the dock

Still use it but while running and if I need a quick change from Nike to Now Playing, it’s not as quick and accurate - and it’s a bit inconsistent regarding favourites/recent - even though mine is set to favourites it shows last used forever (like days after usage)
