🎉🚨Wait, hold on!🚨🎉

When you have a timer running in watchOS 10 there is now a quick jump indicator that appears at the top of the clock face! (same for Alarms and Stopwatches)

No more need to have a timer complication just for when a timer is running. I love it!

@_Davidsmith that’s one of the reasons I avoided the fancy watch faces. How cool!

@_Davidsmith This is also true for active sessions like Now Playing or Workout. Tap the indicator to jump back to the app. These also appear at the top of the Smart Stack after you invoke it by rotating the Digital Crown on your watch face.

@taylorcarrigan Perfect, Amazing! This elegantly solves a problem I've been frustrated with since the start of watchOS. And most excitingly means that there are a number of the more beautiful, minimalist watch faces which I'll feel like I can use without having to sacrifice functional utility.

@_Davidsmith @taylorcarrigan we just need 3rd party watch faces now; expertly curated for copies of big brands by the crack App Store Review team

@taylorcarrigan @_Davidsmith This is soooo great! Thank you!

@taylorcarrigan @_Davidsmith IIRC this was true of Now Playing and Workout a few versions ago and the functionality got removed at some point - has driven me mad since then having to go hunting for the Music app all the time. Glad it’s finally back better than ever!

@_Davidsmith But the indicators aside, what is Snoopy up to with the clock hands?! 😍

@_Davidsmith What happens if there is also a notification? Does it show two dots?
Show threadTim McGregerJun 7, 2023
@_Davidsmith curious, though...with the new widgets that pop-up when you scroll the digital crown, does a new widget for the timer or stopwatch also appear at top-level? it would seem natural, but not sure how it works yet

@_Davidsmith Yes! They used to offer this for active workouts. Is this also back?

@_Davidsmith This is very handy! But for a moment I was hoping you were gonna say when a timer goes off it spooks Snoopy 😆

@_Davidsmith oh, that‘s so cool! 😊

@_Davidsmith tried the Snoopy watch face yesterday and was surprised by how much joy it constantly brought
Show threadtarasisJun 8, 2023
@_Davidsmith does Snoopy fall at 6:15, or clamber on top?

@_Davidsmith I’ve also seen Castro (the podcast app) up there when listening.
