Has double tap been useful for you? (alien.top)

I’ve been really disappointed by the new Double Tap feature since I got the S9 last month. On top of not having many use-cases, the watch didn’t recognize every time I did the gesture which made it really frustrating to use.

I just realized though that I like to wear my bands on the slightly looser side, which I guess makes it way harder for the watch to recognize when you do the gesture. Tightening up my band has helped tremendously and the watch basically never misses it now.

The lack of many use-cases still is a bummer though. How are you guys using it?

Using it to pause/play either my music or whatever’s playing on my Apple TV is super handy. Also my side button is basically shot because it’s all filled with crap, so using the double palm tap+double palm tap+finger tap+double palm tap is “handy” to get to my control center. Yes I typed out all the steps because it is pretty annoying how many steps it takes
