Hello, I'm running WatchOS 10.2 on an Apple Watch series 9 and I have two problems:
1. Every time I get a notification the Apple Watch plays the alert sound like on the iPhone and speaks the word "alert".
2. Swiping between watchfaces with two fingers is very difficult, most of the times it recognises a double tap instead of a swipe. Before WatchOS 10 with an Apple Watch SE it worked perfectly.

me too
Mine is doing the same thing in regards to saying "alert" instead of reading the notification. I think Apple possibly broke something in 10.2, not sure though... Also, just wondering if anyone else is having this issue, when sending a message on the watch through siri, I used to be able to read the message before sending. Now it just says, do you want to change it, or send it? and if I ask it to read the message, it just keeps saying, do you want to change it, or send it, which makes texting, at least for me, pretty much useless on the watch now. Maybe should have posted this in a separate thread, but just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Same problem with Siri. I'm using American voice 4.
Switching faces
I miss the 2-finger swipe to move from one face to another. I'm using a double tap and hold to bring up my list of faces, but I'm not at all comfortable with that gesture.
siri constantly asking to change or send not new
I experienced this behavior ever since I got ultra 2 with 10.1 installed.
Siri commands
For those of you with the Siri issue, where its not reading back your text before sending, try saying 'Review'.
Siri sometimes glitches out on iOS, and the 'review' tends to make it read out the message.
HTH.
I actually like the alert popup
To be honest I like the new alert. It makes the watch just like an iPhone. Would be great if the same thing was for the low battery
