Apple Watch os2 thread

Yes... Have to say I'm completely underwhelmed. I'll have closer look at it in the morning... maybe I've missed something...

The difference is in the way that apps run. Until we see updated apps which run natively on the Watch there won't be a lot of difference.

However, so far the Weather app still seems slow, and the two 3rd party apps I have which use Glances are broken and just display 'Unlock iPhone to View'.

Well let's just hope there are lots of them.  I've got 294 Apps on the phone and less than 40 of them are compatible with the Watch.  Of those, I only want about 10 on the Watch, but there are loads that aren't compatible which I would like on the Watch (e.g. whatsapp).  The My Watch App tells me I have zero Apps that are compatible with Complications.  My disappointment is largely my own fault for not managing my expectations properly.

This really is the slowest update I've come across, doing now, took 15 plus minutes to download on a 150 meg connection and has been installing for about 20 minutes! Just asked for my passcode again and has started 'chugging' around again.

I have been running the Beta since it was released but since updating to the release version last night my battery has been absolutely terrible, put my watch on at 7am this morning and it was dead at lunchtime!

A reset and hard reset have done nothing to make it any better looks like i'll have to try a restore this evening

So my Weather now works (actually showing the temp on my clock face and then loading the weather very quickly when I press it). That hasn't been working for ages for me!

My Calendar still doesn't seem to sync all items but is much quicker now to load when I press on a reminder.

My battery seems a bit better to me. Put mine on my wrist this morning at 8am, have used it a bit (not that much) and it still on 96% now about 3 hours later.

Took ages to update though! Probably 2-3 hours in total!!

Has anyone used the time lapse clock face? Mines showing the night time photos even though its 12pm...cant find anyway to get it to match up to the right time.

All I really wanted was the option of an ambient clock display.  No such luck.  How hard could that be.  Surely allow users to decide if they wish to suffer slightly worse battery life.

Is it me or do Apple updates (generally) seem to get less interesting and more problematical since the sad demise of Mr Jobs?

It's just you.

Sorry for the daft question.......

Am I able to upgrade to IOS2 on my watch without upgrading to IOS9 on my iPhone?
