When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

wait. Am I doing something wrong? I'm left handed and put the watch on my left wrist, oriented correctly so the crown is on the upper right corner.

Apparently all of us lefthanders use the watch completely differently.

I'm a right-wrist-wearer and this post is confusing me.

if you wear it on your left-wrist your right hand doesn't have to make sure its not covering the watch face when you're using the crown. on the right-wrist you have to slightly contort your left hand to not cover your screen. this is fine if its just to do a couple of things but if they're involving the crown more now then it's going to get more annoying imo. maybe it won't feel like that once the update comes out.

Can’t left handed people just put the witch on upside down? Does the watch not rotate?

doesn't seem like it. is there a setting to flip this.

So ignore what Apple is showing - they do it because it's easier to display in a presentation. The "proper" way to orient the watch is to have the crown is on the outside - away from your hand. So lower left on left wrist or upper right on right wrist. But you could wear it the other way if you wanted to, so there isn't a true "wrong" way.

Finally, iOS and iPadOS will yell at boomers to get the screen away from their faces.

I just make like a C with my hand around the watch and control it with my finger like that.

IDGI, if I'm tracking my workout on the watch, isn't the point that I DON'T need my phone on me? For every somewhat useful sounding feature it's just a pile of gimmicks.

I know this is supposed to be more of a performance and bug fixing update, but they've got nothing.
When I'm on my mountain bike, I have my phone with me.

Three things:
- For one, it's in the top compartment of my backpack, facing the sky. So I'd say it has a better view of the sky than my watch, which faces sideways towards trees and poo poo.
- My phone has dual frequency GPS, my watch not.
- My AW6 lasted way longer sports tracking if the phone is near, because GPS was power gated.

That's why I'm a smidge annoyed.

Huh, that's honestly a brilliant idea. I golf a ton so I got a pretty good tan, but my right wrist is pale as hell because of my watch.
