I have a Watch Series 9 and watchOS 10.0.2 installed in it. When I double-tap the digital crown to open recently opened apps menu, and instantly swipe one of the apps to the left shows the closing (x) button like it does normally, but the app I'm swiping left goes back to its original position with no animations whatsoever. I don't think this is intended because it looks and acts weird.

Unfortunately, I unpaired and re-paired and I still face the same issue. I'm not a fluent english speaker, so I don't know how to explain my problem with better words.
But simply, when I try to close apps right after opening the Recently Opened Apps menu, after swiping an app (before the menu opening animation completes, so I mean i'm swiping to left before the sliding animation finishes.) it waits until the apps sliding animation to be fully completed, and the app that was swiped to left goes back to it's normal position so it prevents me to close the app, basically forcing me to re-do the swiping.
It doesn't sound like a big deal, but every time when I'm close open apps, I face the same thing over and over again, so it starts to become annoying. I hope it gets fixed ASAP unless it's something that's because of my watch.

I believe I understood what you described. But, I'm not seeing that problem on my Watch.
Why do you need to close these apps? The only technical reason to close apps is if they are misbehaving. If you're having problems with lots of apps, that's something I'd address first.
I actually have the same problem. It only happens when you do it instantly after bringing up the app-list, and trying to close an app.
Correct.
They'll tell you to re-pair your apple watch, do a bunch of this and that, knowing beforehand that it won't solve your issue.
It's a shame really - a $600 watch shouldn't have issues like this.

My watch did the same thing at 2:30 am. I tried to power down instead hit emergency contacts and everyone got an alert from me. Then it called 911 and kept trying to in my passcode. I finally shut it down. It seems to be working now but I’m concerned. I’ve only had it a month.
No, not seeing that. Have you tried restarting the watch? Unpairing and re-pairing?
Well, I tried restarting but never thought of re-pairing. I'll give an update when I try that one out. Thanks for reaching out!
