I think Apple should repurpose the function of the twiddly knob (AKA crown?) like they did for the side button. I never, ever use the time travel feature so let me use it for something else based on the selected watch face. For example, I (as a user) would probably default it to controlling my AirPod volume most of the time, but perhaps there are times when I'd want quick access to changing time zones.
I just hope that everyone at Apple uses their Apple Watches every day and realize its current limitations and rough edges. I should be able to do more with fewer finicky taps.
FYI the time travel feature was removed in watchOS 3. But yes, the crown could be more useful. I agree that defaulting to controlling the volume of currently-playing AirPods would be super useful.
I have no doubt that the people at Apple use the Watch and continue to realize better ways to use it. After all, look at the improvements so far. We're getting a v4 that will run on my original hardware and has great new features. Can the same be said for the Samsung watches? Are they even still supported? In use?
Time Travel wasn't removed, just sort of hidden. It needs to be turned on in the Clock settings in the Watch app on your iPhone.
