With iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1 being released today, for those that own an Apple Watch Series 9, you can now use the new Double Tap feature.

To check out the options, go to the Apple Watch app and select Gestures/Double Tap.

Release Notes: Double tap gesture can be used to perform the primary action in notifications and most apps so you can answer a call, play and pause music, stop a timer, and more (Available on Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2)

I wonder what the reason is to only have it on the new models when there's a similar already existing option in AssistiveTouch settings that uses these gestures to control the watch, which works on earlier models.

Good catch, never realized that until I read your comment.
