Compose for Wear OS 1.3.0-alpha07 was released yesterday, including new flags on PositionIndicator to give control over which animations are active. We recommend switching off the fadeIn and position animations for scrollable content as this will improve performance (but for screens like volume change with a Stepper component, leave all 3 animations turned on). There are also bug fixes to Swipe to Reveal motion and performance improvements in SwipeToDismissBox - please see release notes for more details. Also, we have released 1.0.0-alpha13 of the wear.compose.compose-material3 library with components updated to use Material Design tokens - see release notes.

Before anyone tries the animation flags on PositionIndicator, I think we probably need to expose it on other forms. So maybe wait for alpha08.

Haptics in ScalingLazyColumn; is this still WIP and only available in Horologist?

I don't think it's planned for Wear Compose in time for 1.3. So use Horologist rotaryWithScroll modifiers, or the ScalingLazyColumn overload.
