Vivoactive6 simulator: menu key not working

In the simulator for the new Vivoactive6, the menu key (m) is not working.

Also the image only shows a black and white scheme of the watch, but maybe that's intended?

    The next user interface change is that you can’t get to the settings by simply long-holding the lower right button. Rather, that’s now going to setup a quick-access control (such as accessing heart rate broadcasting or other features).

    Instead, to access settings you’ll need to first swipe from the right (or tap the upper right button), which brings you  to the main activities page. Here you can jump to starting a workout (like the past), or other apps:

    But to access settings, you’ll swipe down till you find ‘Settings’, and tap that open:

    So it's no wonder that the new action menu indicator is called out in the VA6 CIQ announcement. It seems that any app which implements a context-sensitive menu will be required to use the action menu indicator, as there's no longer a generic way to open a menu by pressing (or long pressing) a physical button
