I’ve also noticed that when taking a screenshot, it’s not sent to photos until you tap the checkmark at the top right of the screen and select to send it to photos.
We also need a way to make the time and info at the top of the screen more visible against a light background.
Check out this screenshot of my lock screen.

The readability on light backgrounds is not good. Very hard to see. I thought it would dynamically make the text dark, but maybe that's a bug, and it's supposed to.

In watchOS 26, there were numerous new watch faces introduced as well as some existing watch faces were deleted. Gone are the Toy Story watch face as well as the Liquid Metal, water and fire watch faces.

I think I’ll wait for the Public Beta by which time some of the early bugs should be squashed.

I would recommend waiting until it's more stable. I get springboard crashes at least once every hour or 2.

You can also tint the icons almost any color you want.

I don't know maybe it will grow on me but I'm not a fan of glass look.

You can turn it off. Go to Settings>Accessibility>Display & Text Size and turn on the Reduce Transparency button.
