Nice OS update! Thank you.

However, no swiping left or right conveniently to change watch face, now it is not convenient for me. My usage is to have multiple watch faces, like having multiple watch function on one watch. For example: Sport watch face - Workout app and stop clock. Cooking watch face - timer, stop watch and music. Work watch face - only time and date.

Another real life situation is that, I spend days to teach my not-tech-savvy mum to swipe left and right, and setup for her so she can easily swipe left or right to see her heart rate, workout and weather. With OS10, now she does not know what to do anymore.

Please help and have an option to bring back the swipe. Thank you for your help.

I had the same issue as well as saved faces on my phone wouldn’t load at all. Once I unpaired and repaired my watch everything resolved itself.
