Hi hikerCO,
In watchOS 10, swiping up or scrolling the digital crown is programmed to access notifications per See and respond to notifications on Apple Watch:
"If you don’t respond to a notification when it arrives, it’s saved in Notification Center. A red dot at the top of your watch face shows you have an unread notification. To view it, follow these steps:
- From the watch face, swipe down to open Notification Center. From other screens, touch and hold the top of the screen, then swipe down.
Note: You can’t open Notification Center when viewing the Home Screen on your Apple Watch. Instead, press the Digital Crown to go to the watch face or open an app, then open Notification Center.
2. Swipe up or down or turn the Digital Crown to scroll the notifications list.
3. Tap the notification to read or respond to it."
While that function cannot be changed, you may provide feedback to the appropriate group using Feedback - Watch.
Regards.
