Sometimes with updates, there's hidden fixes and features that don't get the headlines so I'm hoping maybe someone knows of a solution to my TWO right-wrist-wearing issues...

1) If there's one thing I wish Samsung copied from Apple Watch it's the setting where you can specify if you're left handed or right handed so you can flip the watch and have the buttons closer to your hand no matter which wrist you wear it on. I've looked and haven't seen this option in the Gear S3 settings so I'll just hold out hope that Samsung copies Apple this time. :)

2) The second thing right-wrist wearing people might suffer from that you wouldn't think is annoying but it is...is the fact that if you cross your arms and your watch is on your right wrist, it usually ends up being UNDER your left forearm. What happens is the forearm presses the watchface and suddenly you're on the mode of changing watch faces. Any movement of your arms and your watch face is changed. Such a small thing, right? But so annoying.

The solution would be easy too! I wish there was an option/setting to kill the long press thing. Is there? I mean I've found my go-to watch face. I don't wanna change it. And if I decide one day I do, well then I could go into settings and change this back and unlock that long press on the watch face thing again. Or just change it in the Gear Manager. I like the long press feature, but it'd be nice to have the OPTION to disable it. I guess no one at Samsung is left handed...they must not be creative. ;)
 
I had a Gear Fit and the options are available on that. Not sure why they didn't continue that.

Interesting. Was the option to disable the long press to change watch faces available on the Gear Fit?
