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!
