Widgets hot key not working?

Hi all,

Just got my new 5s today and have been playing around in the menus and getting used to the interface. I believe the default hold hot key for the down button is "widgets", which (I think) is supposed to bring up a list of all of the widgets to quickly select instead of scrolling one-by-one. After messing around with my watch, this doesn't appear to work anymore and holding the down button does nothing. If I change the hot key it works for other options. Anyone else have this problem? I haven't done much customizing with widgets other than adding the "My Day" option. Anyone else having this issue? First thing I did was update to 2.9 firmware.

Thanks!

    Just curious why you would think that would be the expected behavior? That's not what it does. It's a home button. It just brings you back to the home screen from wherever you are (which are the widgets).

    Thanks for the reply! I guess I was getting this mixed up with the controls menu hot key... thought I saw the menu I described when I was first messing around, but I was probably on a random settings screen. The button does work to return me to the home screen.
