Before recent update, it was possible to change watch face with just a swipe, which was super convenient. Is there a way to do the same in watchOS 10 without doing extra step - pressing face before swiping? It becomes very annoying when changing faces several times a day. Thanks!
Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10
watchOS 10.2 re-enables left/right watch face swiping
•Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
•Scroll down and choose “Clock”.
•Toggle on the “Swipe to Switch Face” setting.

This thread comes up first in search for how to swipe to change faces. As of 10.2, Settings->Clock has an option to reinstate swiping face chagnes.
They just made a change. To change the watch faces just touch and hold in middle of watch face and it will shift to the mode of changing watch faces and you can slide left and right to your different saved watch faces.
Another change is the up swipe for the control panel has been changed to a press of the lower side button!

We hope that helps you out.

Thank you ryane77,
That's exactly what my concern is - it does require to do an extra "press and hold" and that what I find inconvenient because previously I didn't have to do "press and hold" and I change faces many times throughout the day. I would appreciate if you can advise how can I configure this myself or add/revert to this functionality...
It Worked 100% well done, it was as easy as you stated, I can now change the faces back to what I could before, thank you.
How to change watch face with just a swipe like it was before watchOS 10?
