The watch isn't out yet, non dev people have not tried apps out yet, initially yes some apps will be similar to their original apps, but as user experience improves, the apps will mature - it will be a fairly quick turn around time and you'll probably be surprised. As most of the devs here will ascribe most of them haven't got the ability to add their apps on yet.
Got a tip for us?

How do we get from the first screen to the second & back? Also, what are the other pages on the first screen?
I expect Hodinkee and aBlogtoWatch to get review units as they have been already been allowed access to the pre-production samples. They are watch sites so won't just be focusing on the technology and have both been enthusiastic in their previews.
I Know everyone is desperate for iFart to be updated to support the Watch, so yes i will update it and submit to the store.
Remote control farts hahahaha
The fart is sent to the iphone which can be hidden under a cushion etc!
I'm a dark Dark Sky user on iPhone and really like it.
The update notes just solidified their high ranking in my book.
Yes!!!! HAHAHAHAHHA I've already started!!

Maybe you guys have been ignoring the emails? Apple sent a couple out. There was one long ago about "Apple watch is coming, go check out the beta xcode." And if you had read some of the developer info about the watch, you'd know that the phone release of 8.2 and the release of XCode with WatchKit at the same time now supports WatchKit apps. Hit the developer site once in a while after Apple sends you an update email...
Have you installed the XCode update?
That's kind of odd. Apple made the WatchKit development tools available (in Beta) several months ago. It's probably just developers who didn't feel like using the prerelease development tools.
I would say you're right on your personal assessment. It was play on words. I can't help you if you didn't get it.
It's a standard par tof iOS 8.2 By way of taking submissions for 8.2 which has been out for a few weeks now they have opened up Apple Watch submissions. That's what this 3+ month beta period has been for.
No we are not ignoring emails but thanks... you are obviously not a dev.
I just tried to submit a binary just now, and shock its still not letting you submit watch-kit apps.

Are you guys sure you're not ignoring the emails?
HAHA, what a jerk right? Anyway yeah I think your previous comment about certain devs having access is correct. Or at least is the only thing that makes sense. Unless they're having some trouble and are now preventing uploads? Haven't heard anything yet though.
This thing is really going to take off once they figure out how to put a smell stimulator probe into the watch that lets you smell whatever the other user is smelling
I submitted my app "Here I am" (http://www.arnobost.de/here-i-am/) with Apple Watch app included 5 days ago, and it was approved 2 days later
Haha, well, no need to get mean. The OP hadn't said they tried to submit an App and failed. It sounded like it should work with the release of recent iOS. I'm surprised you can't submit.

Wow, that's a lot faster than the 8 day average presently reported. Let's hope they are turning them around faster!
