My Issue

When I installed the Watch App of Spotify for my Apple Watch (22.2.2019), which I wear left with the crown left, I saw a little design issue:

The volume indicator which was intended to appear next to the crown is still at the top right - which does not fit for my settings (Left arm, crown left => crown bottom left)

Hey @Das_Priester

Sorry to hear about this. Most people wear the Apple Watch with the crown on the right side (and watchOS has this set as default) so that is how the Spotify Apple Watch app was designed.

Right now in watchOS Apple doesn't have a way for app developers to detect how the user is wearing the watch (crown on left or right) so there is currently no way to switch the view in the Spotify watch app. In the watch user interface you will also see that the scroll bar still displays at the top right of the screen on the opposite side of the reverse crown. Hopefully Apple can improve the experince for having the crown on the left in the future.
