Checking Notifications from lock screen quickly

ust as the title asks, how does everyone check their notifications quickly. I'm running Nougat beta 7.1.1. like most people here are as well. I tried ambient display, but it doesn't work consistently enough, i tried the Movies gesture of lifting your phone up off a surface, and that works a little bit better, however I'm just soo used to clicking the power button and I can feel it very well since it's textured. I just wanted to hear what everyone else opinion here is.
