I have an SE2 and i have been ignoring all my update notifications because of things i have been reading posts on here. I am still at 9.6 (i think?)… should i bite the bullet and update?

    i wish i held off… maybe give it until 10.2. there’s not exactly anything that you’re missing out on as far as features anyway

    I know there are a lot of people that don’t like it, but for me it’s great.

    • The widgets are perfect. I can have a simple watch face now and easily get to other things I need by just scrolling the crown - No more trying to cram as many complications as possible on the modular face.
    • I hated always accidentally switching my watch face by swiping, so the fact that they got rid of swipe to change face is my favorite feature
    • Battery life in my S7 is… the same? Haven’t noticed any difference, still charge it for 100% before I go to bed, wear it all night and all day then charge it again to 100% before bed - It usually has around 20% left after 24 hours.

    I know some people have had a hard time with the changes and some problems with battery life but for me its been smooth and I enjoy all of these changes.

    I’ve had no issues with it… I think it’s just those that don’t like/or have had an issue are vocal about it. Those that do like it and have had no issues with it just carry on with their day. I suspect its a very small % of users that have had an issue with it.

    It depends. Personally I prefer watchOS 9, because I think the Smart Stack could have just been a new watch face instead of moving literally every control to put it where control center was. I would like it if they brought an update to make face swipe a toggle because I like to swipe between faces multiple times a day, and I do prefer the black minimalistic look of the apps prior to the update.

    All that said I have gotten used to everything, except the useless Smart Stack; but that is user preference.

    It was different at first but I can’t remember how 9 was after using it for a week. It works great.
