An OS 9 odyssey: Why some Mac users won’t abandon 16-year-old software

One of the most annoying things to me about the Apple Watch is the fact that the icons tend to move around to random locations whenever an update is done. My eyesight is not up to par any more, and I rely on the app I need being in a particular spot on the cluster of tiny icons on my wrist, and when it moves, it is nigh on impossible to find quickly.

I appreciate the irony that the company touted for reinventing and improving UX is now setting fire to that legacy.

The bubble screen is terrible, but at least in watchOS 3 you're supposed to almost never have to use it.

It's one of those interfaces that looks great in the video and it's horrible to use in real life.

I dread the bubble screen. Having used watchOS 3 for months, I cannot remember having used it for months. It's just not how you do it anymore. You either pin apps in the dock, which is awesome, or as a complication on one of your watch faces. I currently have 5 watch faces I all use for different scenarios.

It's awesome compared to watchOS 2!

I'm VERY excited for today's upgrade.
