Galaxy WatchHi all.
Yesterday I got notified of the UI8 update to my Ultra and made a grave mistake of accepting it. Now the watch is useless for me.
You have a device with a big, nice, ROUND display. Then someone at Samsung decided, "hey, lets make everything appear in small colored ellipsoids, it would be fun". Well, it isn't. Notifications are now appearing in small ellipsoids with at least 40% of the display wasted on some coloring and the name of the app the notification came from. Also I have noticed it is grouping notifications from the same app and cramming multiple ellipsoids on the display of the watch.
Same goes for the widgets. Instead of being full screen, they are crammed into similar ellipsoids and now multiple widgets are on the same screen. Calendar and battery widget for an example. Even if I remove all but one widget, it still cannot be extended to the entire display but stays in that idiotic ellipsoid on the upper half of the display and the lower part just has a big "+" sign to add more widgets.
I do not need this and makes the watch unusable for me as I need to get my spectacles to see what is on the screen. How to get back to the old behaviour, 1 notification/1 widget per ENTIRE screen, no ellipsoids, coloring and similar ?

Galaxy Watch- This is an accessibility issue! We really need the option to revert back to the old tile type.
