Why can’t I change watch faces by dragging my finger side to side across the face?

Since updating to WatchOS 10, I can no longer switch between my different watch faces by dragging my finger side to side across the display. Any idea why?

The UI changed so you tap and hold on the Apple Watch screen. Next swipe left or right to the desired watch face. Then tap the screen to make the selected watch face active.
