Hello,
I am having a problem with my watch after updating to watch OS 2.1. I ware my watch on my right rist. Pryer to updating everything displayed correctly when swiping. Now when i do a two finger swipe down it takes me to my glances insted of notifications. and a two finger swipe up takes me to notifications insted of glances. Everything is reverced when swiping to the right and left. When i just tuch around on the screen it appears right so i'm confused. I saw in OS 2.1 they added support to switch the user interface from right to left but i couldn't find that. I double checked my oriantation settings for right rist and crown on left. If anyone who has a watch could help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

I too wear my Watch on my right wrist with the crown on the left, but everything is still working as expected on watchOS 2.1.

My first suggestion would be to go back to the orientation settings and switch them around a few times. Just possibly this may ‘flush’ whatever is causing this problem for you.

If this doesn’t work, try a basic restart. If still no success, try a force restart, where you press and hold both the Digital Crown and the side Button together for roughly 10 seconds.

If the problem still persists, then your last option is probably to reset the Watch and restore from a backup.

Good luck!
