For f sake… please make it so that the watch hands stop covering up the complications. The hand should go opaque or something… or just let me shut off the watch hands. I can’t be the only one who like digital time. How stupid is it that I can’t even see how much time is left on my timer in the attached example.
Yes, I reported this to Apple multiple times.

Just wait, the Apple Car will require the same. Must be at least 50% charged and on the charger. [emoji38]

I really wish these minor updates would not require a charger being attached...

Interesting - my Series 6 suddenly has an M2 and a foldable 12" screen!

What a great x.x.1 update!

Thanks a lot, Tim Apple!
