I updated my Apple Watch series 8 to iOS 10 and have found that the Assistive Touch double pinch option has changed. Previously, to dismiss a notification, a double pinch was used. Now, the double pinch just takes me back one screen. The Watch itself says to Dismiss, Double pinch, it obviously doesn’t work. Any thoughts?

Hi there Bobzone,
The double pinch action with AssistiveTouch on your Apple Watch is meant to go back a step:
* Move back one item: Double pinch (Tap your pointer finger to your thumb twice quickly)
To dismiss something, you should be able to do a single pinch. Learn more here: Use AssistiveTouch on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If that doesn't seem to help, it would be best to reach out to Apple's Accessibility Support team for further assistance. They're better-equipped to take a closer look at the issue and provide some additional guidance. This link will help you get started: Accessibility Support - Official Apple Support
Take care.
