[Unpopular opinion?] Double Tap is not really that useful. (alien.top)

I still haven't found a practical use for it.

This morning, my watch alarm went off. Tried to double-tap to turn it off. Since my watch is still in Sleep Focus, the screen doesn't turn on, so the double tap doesn't register. I had to press the crown to turn the screen on, and then the double tap worked.

During a workout, a double-tap to pause would be nice. But no actions register during a workout.

It's gimmicky.

I mostly use it to skip songs and I love it. Just raise my wrist and double tap. Probably look a bit silly with long sleeves, but eh.

This is exactly what I planned to use it for primarily, and it’s SO inconsistent for me! When I’m driving, sometimes it works flawlessly, and then suddenly it won’t work no matter what I do. It’s gotten to the point where it’s just incredibly frustrating. What’s the secret to your success?!
