Updated to OS 26, it's horrible, that's a personal opinion and that would be fine if I could go back to some sort of classic look. I read some forums and toned it down as much as possible but it's still for me an ugly mess.

Happy to hear that Alan Dye, the person primarily behind it has left Apple. Unfortuntely for no good reason, it's not like upper management @ Apple was unhappy with him. Actual designers are thrilled

Bad Dye Job

It might have made some sense to bring someone from the fashion/brand world to lead software design for Apple Watch, but it sure didn’t seem to make sense for the rest of Apple’s platforms. And the decade of Dye’s HI leadership has proven it.
