The option to remove the status indicators has been removed, causing the watchface to be obscured with power save and phone disconnected icons 24/7, why was this feature removed????

You know you can take screenshots of your watch by pressing the home and back buttons of the watch simultaneously, so you don't have to put up blurry, unreadable pictures. Some watch settings can only be done from the wear app. What indicators are you referring to?  The only time I see status indicators on my watch is when the status of the watch changes (disconnection, mode active, water lock, etc.) and they stay there until the condition changes.  Why wouldn't you want to know of status changes?

If you are referring to the status indicator on the left (orange dot), that's the indicator that you have a notification that you have not seen yet.  If you swipe to the right, to look at or dismiss the notification, the dot will go away.  If you don't dismiss the notification, the notification will remain until you dismiss it from either the phone or the watch, but the dot will go away until you get a new notification.  All the other items on your watch face are "complications" that you can change to ones that suit you better. You chose a watch face with 7 complications. In the Wear app, choose the watch face and then tap on the "customize" icon.  You can view the quick (main information) at a glance.  For more detailed information, you would tap the particular complication.  Yes, they will remain there all the time.  If you just want a straight watch face with no complications, there are quite a few to choose from.  You can also choose a watch face with less complications (if you don't want to put a widget in the complication space, you can choose "none" and you will have a solid watch face). If you don't want the indicator dot to inform you of new notifications, you can also turn that off. Go to the watch settings in the Wear app, choose notifications/advanced settings and turn off the "new notification indicator on watch face" slider and turn on/off any other options you want.

Also, I just checked my settings and I definitely have the hide after 2 seconds for the status indicator. In the wear app go to watch settinhgs/advanced features. Tap on status indicators and you should see the selection
