How to close apps on watchOS 27

This change is so stupid. The current watches won’t even use the new AI. Such a dumb change to the OS. Bring back double push to see all open apps.

google maps crashes sometimes and keeps using the location service and remains open, how to close that?

Yes you can force quit apps like you used to in watchOS 26, you just need to long press on the bottom edge of the app, it will bring up the app switcher.
