Yes please! After so many years of a simple default, to switch it so suddenly really bothered me.
Yes, please! Due to the erratic behavior of the focus mode automatic switching, I found myself switching faces manually too often
As long as it’s an option you have to enable and not the default. I hate constantly ending up with a random face. Giving users customizability is never a problem though.
Actually, giving users customization definitely can be a problem (see: paradox of choice), but in this case I support it. My entire usage paradigm on my watch has fallen apart and is still not in a comfortable state yet.
Hummm I like that they hid the function behind a long press. It prevents unwanted change.
Ruined the usability of it for me in a lot of ways, and I’ve had tons of accidental timers since the upgrade that I never had before. So glad they brought the option back
