I experienced this early on, but it seems to have mostly resolved itself in the last few weeks. I’m not positive what the difference is, but I wasn’t far from just turning it off all together and then things just got better out of the blue.

What are you on 17.0.1, 17.0.2, 17.1, etc?

I’m not sure WHAT people want from a device this size that wouldn’t be “boring”. The incremental updates to the watch, year over year, have made it a fantastic device, and more features or design changes just for the sake of change seems stupid.
