Swipe L or R not working after watch OS upgrade

The ability to change watch faces by swiping L or R no longer works after the WatchOS upgrade. I’ve unpaired and re-paired and set up my watch as new and it still does not work. Please help.

This is an unfortunate update. I swipe between my faces quite often for different things. I hope Apple changes this

The change is soo annoying. I cannot fit enough complications on 1 screen. I am frequently switching faces to get to a desired complication.
Suggestion, add a face with 6 or 8 complications.

Change the watch face on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Now send that suggestion to Apple via

Feedback - Watch - Apple


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