Yeah sorry, you lost me at "lollipop" & "rocking"# You're too funny mate.
And apparently you are joking, too dry mate, too dry.

Worked
I've been having a problem with the United App which would open, show me a spin wheel, and then crash back to the app 'constellation.'
The update fixed that, and everything else is working smoothly.
Still really liking the Watch. Proving to be quite useful for business travel.
Used Apple Pay in Walgreens on my watch yesterday for the first time. Double click, hold over reader for half a second and done. Pretty sweet.
Taking a flight on Saturday, we'll see if I can get the boarding pass to work on the Watch.

By the end of this year it is projected that Apple will have sold close to half a billion units of the iPad.
And you are claiming this product is inferior, a flop, and has a stupid name?
I use mine every day at work, during plane rides to watch TV or movies. And it does a great job. It talks perfectly with my computer and phone, does everything I want and expect it to do, and looks nice.
If I were in a coffee shop, do you think I would care for a single second that you had cheap plastic iPad clone, just like I wouldn't care if you were wearing a Pebble.
CNet reviewed this tablet you are so enamored with and noted, "The plastic build feels cheap and the screen resolution is notably subpar."
Ya know, in a p**sing contest, you get points for distance AND accuracy right? Plus, you need to make sure the other guy is competing, otherwise you're just p**ssing into the wind...
Safari seems faster?... Good one. I'm glad someone on here has a sense of humor.

Make sure you follow the calibration procedure so you get an accurate reading from your Apple Watch for the distance and accuracy.
I would assume that the watch needs among other parameters your weight to calculate the calorie consumption. Increase that weight number and the same physical activity should result in a higher calorie consumption.
I received the same error as well. I had to unpair and repair the watch. It's a big pain the butt, but that'll be the only way you'll be able to updated. I does say iOS 8.2.1 but, once it downloads and updates, it'll be Watch OS 1.0.1. I finally called Apple and submitted a formal complaint.
Glad to see some improvements are happening. The standing notification when I was previously standing/walking was a bit annoying/hilarious. Siri's buffoonery, while still apparent (Google Now still kicks the pants voice recognition wise), is at least a bit more agile.
I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I honestly would've preferred updates along the lines of:
Needs:
-Better wrist lift detection
-Consistency with notifications--especially ones that are directly from on-board apps (phone, messages, etc).
-The option to have your phone and watch synced in regard to silencing alarms. Had an awkward moments where I silenced my phone but the watch ended up ringing. (Perhaps this is already possible and I'm not seeing it?)
Nice to Haves
-More customization options--(would love to see FaceMaker on here one day).
-More stringent standards on app release qualifiers (for example, from a UX perspective, Trivia Crack is susceptible to erroneous taps because of its design)
-Separate reviews for the Apple Watch "companion apps" so users are able to gauge the benefit of the app through user reviews without so much trial and error (eg, Trivia Crack, FlipBoard, etc).

That's interesting, because I'm finding a slightly heavier drain. I don't wear mine to bed, but I noticed it dropped down about 10% - 15% more today, after using the Workout App, then yesterday. I'm not sure if it's the Workout App or the fact that the Watch Face comes on so much more frequently now.
I'll try to do some researching.
Yeah, we've been trying adding and re-adding each others contacts manually on both phones and watched to no avail. I can receive digital touches from my friends who have ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ with no issues, making it doubly frustrating.
When you each pull up each other's contact on the watch itself, do your contacts show the digital touch symbol? If you're havin. The same issue we had, one should show, and the other should show a spinning wheel of wait while it looks for the other watch and then eventually give up and show no symbol.
The contact in the companion app also failed to show the full contact card.
Both watches show the ability to tap with the symbol. She can happily send taps and heartbeats to me, they just disappear into the ether and I never get them.
Do you have one of those tight Apple Watch plastic rubber cases they are selling in the wild? I did for a few hours and it caused my watch to crash and or freeze... Just curious
For everyone else DONT BUY THIS:

Just installed the update. The wrist action response to view the Watch face seems to be a lot better.

The update has destroyed my battery life. I installed it yesterday, and charged my watch overnight as usual. Normally I still have 50-60% when I go to bed, but at 4 pm today I was already down to about 25% with normal usage.
I have reset my watch and set it up as new, with no 3rd party apps enabled. I'll let it charge overnight and see what tomorrow brings.

I was only just now wondering if this update was impacting battery life. I was hoping it would improve it, not that it's bad to begin with.
Has anyone else experiences a positive or negative impact this update has had on the battery life of their watch or phone?

No, I would never put a case on a watch.

Simple. The cable for the Apple Watch is a charging cable. Nothing more, nothing less. You downloaded the update on your iPhone over wifi without the need of a computer. The Watch was plugged directly into your power outlet, not a computer. You're taking this too literal. This isn't like the days where you had to connect your iPhone or iPad into your computer for a software update.
