Mark, I don't know which series of Apple Watch Ann has, but while this may be reliable on the series 4 it is far from reliable on a series 2. The main complaint I have with my series 2 is the constant locking while I am tapping or swiping, it's absolutely ridiculous and it is something I know others experience and it was reported to Apple and either they simply can't figure out how to fix it or they are ignoring it. Maybe the series 4 doesn't have this problem, either, but it make s a series 2 watch very frustrating to use. As for haptic time feedback I think your " Practice, practice, practice" advice is just ever so slightly condescending since you obviously don't acknowledge that this feature is not perfect, once again, maybe it is 100% perfect on the series 4, but I think I can say with confidence that after owing my series 2 watch for over 2 years I have had lots of Practice, practice, practice and I'd consider myself to be pretty good with the touch screen and I would say on my series 2 it's maybe 60% successful.

I can honestly say that I have 100% success in having the current time presented via hap tic feedback. I think the secret is to issue the commands quickly and with confidence. If there is even the slightest hesitation, then you will hear audio feedback / VoiceOver will announce the time. It takes much practice but you can get the hang of it. Remember, no hesitation. Just 2 quick strong and fast single-finger taps. It's kind of like breathing, the more you think about it, the more complicated it becomes. Practice, practice, practice.
