Actually curious what people think of it? I posted when I downloaded the beta about how poorly executed it was and I got downvoted to oblivion. Now that it’s out and people are using it, do you think it works well?
There’s certain aspects of it that drive me absolutely crazy. For example, if I want to pause my music, it works great. But once it’s paused for a few seconds, the music app disappears and there’s no way to resume. You can double tap to get to smart stacks, but unless it’s set to select which is pointless, it doesn’t play the music and you have to use your finger to play anyway. Phone calls work the same way where you can answer but it too resumes to the watch face and you can’t hang up the call.
And I do have my watch set to return to clock after 2 minutes but it still doesn’t do this for me. It’s really bizarre behavior. I personally feel the double tap should have an override to stay on that app if used to answer a call/ pause music
same experience for me too, i find it a gimmick and that’s it. The only scenario i would use this is to answer or close a call, but, as you said, after a while it returns to the watch face so you cannot close the call anymore. So yeah, useless feature for me and i disable it.
I’m intrigued more than convinced. For notifications I find it really useful, but on the Home Screen I find the preference towards Smart Stack rather than notification drawer a bit puzzling. I know they’re trying to push a new feature, but the notification drawer is way more useful for most people and I’d like to be able to open it and scroll through notifications via double tap.
It’s a pain. I was tying to use it while walking this morning. I was listening to music on my ultra 2 and APP2. Not once did it skip, then I tried to switch to play/pause and nothing. Not sure if my sweatshirt was covering it, so I made sure to completely expose it and hold my arm up like dick Tracy and nothing. It worked when I was sitting down and trying to do it. The control center one feels pointless, which might be due to the fact I still don’t understand or use it out of habit.

I absolutely love it, like the Action button, it adds more functionality (or I guess, control more with less time).
I think people just need to manage their expectations. It’s meant to do simple things in the moment. Not give you full control of your watch
