animated emojis on watch are gone

i have no idea why Apple would do this, but as a customer for every generation since Series 0, 2, 3, and now 4... not happy!

I was using it weekdays and then pooof they are gone, without warning... lets see what happens if we remove something that the person who removed this likes.. not happppppy.

I am having the same issue.

Come on Apple, bring this back. It is a feature I loved, please don't kill it off.

So everyones animated emjois are gone? There has to be a reason behind this.
