In a recent iWatch update, the normal way of swiping to change watch faces has been replaced with a complicated process of holding the screen, then swiping to get to the next screen.
This new feature is incredibly annoying and I would like to disable it and return to the simple swipe to change faces.
How do I disable this feature?

A) That feature has ALWAYS been there, as it is how you add new watch faces, and edit complications on your Apple Watch using your Apple Watch. So this is not a change.
B) What was taken away was the swipe left/right to change to a difference watch face you had configured.
C) watchOS 10.2 gave you back swipe left/right
•Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. •Scroll down and choose “Clock”. •Toggle on the “Swipe to Switch Face” setting.

Hello JGreg7, As far as I know you can't change it. It is how it is programed now. You can give your feed back to Apple if you wish.
That worked, Thank you!
