Since the lastest upgrade to watchOS 10, I am no longer able to swap left or right to see other watch faces. I tried restarting and unpairing my watch and it doesn’t work still. I have the first gen SE applewatch.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10
Apple has changed the method because too many users were getting accidental swipes changing their watch face. The new method is to Long Press the watch face, so it pops up the option to Edit. Don't pick edit, simply swipe left to right as before.

I agree with all the other complaints. I use this feature a lot. This should be a configurable option. I would only occasionally swipe it by mistake. I’m much prefer the easy swipe.
Tell Apple:

Agreed, that is one of the most frustrating elements of this update — I hope they create an alternative way of changing with the ease of before.

If enough users send feedback, then it is more likely it will reach a decision maker.

No idea if Apple are reading this but just to add to the discussion....WHY WHY WHY???? The most pointless and disruptive update to my apple watch since I started using my first Apple Watch (version3).
BRING SWIPE FACES BACK!
please.
If you think some users have an issue with it then simply add a toggle in the Watch app to turn face swiping on or off. Simple.
This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple is not here.

The more users that send feedback, the more likely it will be seen by a decision maker.

Agree totally I liked swiping from right to left to get to diff faces because each face has a diff icon or function I needed or use daily. Worst update ever.
Please tell Apple. If enough users send feedback, it is more likely to reach a decision maker, and maybe some action taken.
Yes, I totally agree. There’s no point in having several faces now.. :(
Yes, it ruins the watch.

Switching Watch faces based on the complications I want at the moment is the number one feature I need.
Apple removed this ability in the latest update. You have to long press and go into edit mode to swipe over to a new watch face.
I just to let Apple know that this change makes the Apple Watch a pointless device for me. I will stop wearing my Watch (and buying new versions) if this feature is not restored in a future update.
The point of Watch faces is that you can set them up for different contexts (Work, Workout, Communicaiton, Weather, Travel, Fancy Event, Casual Event, etc.). The inability to breezily switch between them destroys the usuability of having multiple faces set up in the first place. I hope they fix this right away.
Totally agree. I have reported / made a comment about it. I loved being able to swipe.
on one face I would have my exercise, on another I would a simple option. On another I would have timers , weather etc.

I agree, it is inconvenient to have to long press the watch face. Will there be an option to switch between swiping left and doing the long press? I hope so! Thank you!
We are just users like you.

Please restore the Apple Watch feature that let me swipe easily between watch faces.
The point of having such a powerful watch is to have quick and frictionless access to the complications I need in the moment.
The long press and swipe is a deal-breaker. I’ve stopped wearing my watch as often, trusting it to be helpful, and frankly… I feel zero need to buy a new one when this one wears out. That’s how vital the swiping between faces is to my use of the watch. Please restore this feature.

I’m guessing but I think mikkifrompoway was referring to the 2 links specifically for the watch from other posters. As is this:
as always, I could be wrong.
What’s the point of the Apple Watch now… please bring back the swipe left and right for faces.
Also having the command center pop out from swiping up from the bottom screen is not on the side… what a hassle too…
Changing faces with different compilations was essential for me. To create different compilations for different situation took some time. I need to change face quickly according to the situation. No problem if it changed randomly, it was easy to swipe and to set the right one. Please give us possibility to change in the Settings old way. I hate new way of changing faces every day. I do not use faces so much now and I miss it.
Can't swipe left for other Apple Watch faces on watchOS 10
