Don't like Watch OS3

Despite all the hype, not happy with WatchOS 3. Want to go back to OS2. I want my side button functionality back for contacts. I used this daily. Easiest way to quickly call or message my family and friends. Now that is gone completely. It is now easier to pull out my phone, which completely negates the reason I bought the watch.


Oh, and if you're going to suggest I can use Siri to quickly call or message someone, no I can't. I'm not allowed to use Siri where I work and spend 11 hours of every day.


I now just have a fancy digital watch. No longer a good communication device.


Thanks Apple for bricking my watch.

OS updates should improve features and add features, not completely take a feature away.

Adding new features without removing old ones would result in a horrible, unusable mess. Some versions of Microsoft Word stand as a testament to this. It's unfortunate when it's a feature we like that's removed but that is the way things work. I think it's going to be hard for me to adjust from Glances to the Dock. But, most likely, I will adjust over time.


I think saying that the update "bricked" your watch is a bit over the top, though. The watch works exactly as intended. If it were bricked, it would be unusable by anyone.
