No he wouldn't, because that would've been an actual inconvenience.
This one isn't. I preferred it before, but it's not really a problem.
For me, it's a huge problem. I have 4-5 watch faces I switch among multiple times a day, often multiple times in a matter of minutes. Like, when getting ready to go for a walk, I swipe to my weather face to check the weather, then swipe to my activity face to start a walking workout, When I return, I swipe to my timer face to make tea, then to my meditation face to do breathing exercises. Then I swipe to my communications face to text my friends, then back to my activity face to check my activity circles, then to the timer face to time the laundry. Now each of these switches is going to take two-three steps, instead of a simple swipe?
Like I said before, it's like if switching between apps on a Mac took 2-3 stops instead of a single click. It will be a huge degradation in my watch use experience.
