Has anyone tested out these features yet? I’ve been using Double Tap for weeks now (beta) and am enjoying it.
But still not sure if it has a place in my day-to-day life, but it certainly works better than the Accessibility version.
What are your thoughts on these new features?

Not sure why this couldn’t come to the other watches, you can easily use the assistive touch pinch thing
The sensors are apparently more sensitive and much more efficient when running to detect the gesture.
I’d love it if they fixed the heart rate complication in this update. It’s not listed as a big fix but here’s to hoping.
Really hoping they’ll also remove that obnoxious pulsating heart from the HR App and go back to the handy live/trend HR oversight from before, but probably not.
Agree, it’s pointless and just provides less information.
For a feature they put so much emphasis on I think it is pretty underwhelming. I don’t expect this to evolve much either. Similar to the Dynamic Island on the phones - still of very limited use after 1+ years.
I’m somewhat confused as to why NameDrop is not supported on the Series 6, when it has the same U1 chip as the Series 7 and the iPhone 12 supports NameDrop on iOS 17 as well.
I don’t know why it isn’t on all the watches that support watchOS 10
The cheap answer is “Apple”.
It’s the same confusion I have with the iPhone 13 Pro having the same chip as the regular 14, but the 13 Pro doesn’t have Action mode while the 14 does, that’s one example.
It’s nice, but I was hoping it would be slightly easier to trigger, and slightly more immediate. Or at least when pausing/unpausing music.
I quite deliberately need to raise my wrist to activate it, then do the gesture, and then it takes like one or two whole seconds to actually pause the music. Would have loved to be able to discretely and quickly pause my music when someone asks me something. But so far it doesn’t seem to be more convenient than taping the screen in most cases. But will see over time how useful it is in the long run.
The name drop is something that I’m 95% sure I will never use in my life. Android has had this since 2015 or so, and I never ever used it on my old Androids either.
Ironically, assistive touch version is far superior than this double tap crap an 10.1 just made even more and better responsive!
No, double tap works WAY better and more reliable than assistive touch “version”
I just want to be able to arrange my icons the way I did in watchOS1 through watchOS9. Sigh.
