Apple Watch won’t swipe to different face

This is so stupid. I used to change with the swipe left/right gesture so often between multiple faces according to the task I needed to accomplish but now this simple process has become so unfriendly.

At least give us an option under settings to toggle between having this on and off.

As a person with a visual impairment, I need to change Watch faces often depending on the task at hand and this stupid decision has completely killed what was a great workflow.

Tell Apple, as the your fellow users in this user-to-user technical support forum cannot effect the changes you desire.

Feedback - Watch - Apple

10000% agree

watchOS 10.2 in a few weeks should have a configuration option to allow you to decide.

I'm 10.2 now. Watch, Settings, Clock is good. There is nothing similar to Swap to Chzngr Face that I can find.

OK I did it from memory and got the words wrong but you should see “Swipe to switch Watch face”

Or you are not on 10.2

Thank you. No worries on the phrasing. I am 10.2 but apparently I finger checked repeatedly yesterday as it works. My compliments annd overwhelming thanks to everyone involved. Cheers.
