What happened to DOCK, which gave me quick access to the 10 apps I selected and use most, in Watch OS 10? Also, how is pushing the side button easier or better than a quick swipe up to access the Control Panel?

So the swipe up gives you the apps, and pushing the Crown gives you the apps. Both give you the same function?
No.
Most recent apps are not my Favorite Apps!
The dock is gone. Gone! And this IS an issue. It’s how many of us used our watches

No it seems this OS has taken a couple big steps back and really no steps forward.
Tell Apple:
It’s not a dock. It’s a list of most recently used applications. What I want to do is be able to always return to a list of a few favorite watch apps, regardless of what I used last.

Any chance the dock can be restored in a future watch OS release?
Only Apple would know. You can tell them what you'd like to see here:
Have you tried, "Hey, Siri, open Shopping list" or some variation thereof?
The left and right swipe feature is still there, you just can't accidentally change the watch face. It has to be intentional now.
Tap and hold the watch face, it will contract slightly and then you can swipe until your heart's content. When you've swiped to the face that you want, tap on it.
you are missing the point buddy. The dock held significant apps and recently used ones. Also the double click doesn't work properly most of the time. It works like two seperate clicks most of the time.

You could get even more creative and add hand gestures, such as finger taps, to trigger some of your ideas!
I think you can do on the actual watch, but I did it on the iPhone app. it's a lot easier and quicker since it's bigger. if you go into the 'watch' app on your phone, select 'app view' and click on 'grid view'. there will be a button that reads 'arrangement'.
Arrangement only on grid view, not list view. Was able to “arrange “ in grid view. No change on list view though. All only alphabetic in list view still. . Also, app is not an apple app, pandora app. Perhaps apple apps can be arranged. Apparently not pandora. But thanks.
Feeling SOL
Missing Dock configuration in My watch menu - i hope this is just an error which will fixed in next WatchOS patch.
I'm a new to apple watch so i'm searching for tips what and how to configure my watch to serve me as i would like.
So got a tip about a Dock. Tried to find it via search field in "My watch" menu. Actually if you do so, you get a list of menu options related to Dock - like Dock/Recent, Dock/Favorites and many others. But clicking on the any item from displayed list went nowhere :-(
So still hope Dock configuration will be bring back soon

I guess I’m the minority. The functionality of the dock is now in the stack like on my phone. Unlock the dock I can customize this. The only thing I saw the dock doing was killing my battery
I suspect you're not actually in the minority. People who are happy with things tend to be less likely to take the trouble to make a comment.
I prefer the stack feature, too. The dock never seemed to have what I wanted when I needed it.
Where is the dock in watchOS 10?
