I'm very excited about the potential of 3rd party apps in watch OS 2. However, I'm not sure what all is capable and what's not capable. There are two types of apps that I'm mostly interested in and have questions about...
1) Podcast/audiobook apps: Will it be possible to download audio content to the watch? If so, how much (I know there is only 8gb total on the watch... so I'm guessing apps have a pretty small size limit)? Ideally I'd like my podcast/auidobook apps (overcast/audible) to be able to stay in sync with my phone so that if I leave my phone, my watch will pick up where I last listened on my phone, and then when they sync back up in range my iPhone will automatically update to the new spot.
2) Fitness/run apps: Will the apps be able to calibrate distance using iPhone as GPS to be more accurate when iPhone is not in range? Also, while fitness apps are running will they be able to become the default view when I look at the watch? Both of these are currently capable with the built in workout app.
