What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?

I love the widgets. I always used an ugly watch face because it supported a bunch of complications, and now I can use one of the nice analog ones and still have all of that information right at hand. Wish there was more third-party support for them but presumably that will come.

Agree with you that I miss swiping from face to face. I used that a lot. And it’s not like swiping horizontally does something else now.

I personally can’t have enough widgets on the screen depicting statuses. I don’t want to interact with the screen to see if I received a new message, check how long the timer is running, what temperature it has out side, water temperature, etc.
