Did they add "Find my watch"? Hopefully they add the ability to require a password upon master reset.

Yup, a nice watch that also does a lot more is completely useless. Troll award for you.
No. "Find My Watch" will probably be a .1 update. If we are lucky they are showing it off at WWDC.
IIRC The Apple Watch is supposed to be as accurate as the Polar (according to Consumer Reports)
Does your wife have tattooed wrists ?
Check how your wife is wearing the watch, it may be it's not making contact with the skin firmly enough
Hmmm... I tested mine against my Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor and the watch is usually only 1 BPM different than the Polar H7. Once in a while the difference is 2 BPM. I'm not a world-class athlete (or even close to it), so that's good enough for me. I also checked it against the Polar heart rate monitor that's built into the treadmill I use at the gym (the one where you have to touch 2 metal contacts) and at most the Apple Watch is 1 or 2 BPM different than the treadmill.
Even with the distance calculation, the watch was only off by 0.02 miles after a 2 mile run - compared to the distance on the gym treadmill, not the phone GPS. I'm not sure how accurate the treadmill is but 0.02 miles is pretty good considering it hasn't calibrated my stride against the GPS yet.
Perhaps an exchange would be a better option?
I'm betting this is support for the new "selectable" Emojis from the phone. Currently, if someone sends you an emoji from the phone that utilizes an alternative skin color to the "simpsons yellow", it actually sends the emoji in the simpsons yellow and accompanies it with an odd "Alien" emoji in addition.
Same! Annoying that you need to be plugged in, ah well something to do once I get home.
Honestly all iOS updates should be like that
This will stop people from updating when they are in the middle of nowhere and something goes wrong and they have to connected to iTunes
Wait till you get home to update software not when your out and you need the phone
The Jim Carrey gif was a perfect/awesome response!
You and I must be two of the five who got ours.
Her dissatisfaction comes from the calories. The Polar will say 500 calories burned for example, and the Watch 250. She's competing against people in some fitness app, so less is bad! Haha! I don't think the Polar is inaccurate. Judging by her workout, I think the numbers seems reasonable.
I don't know how the Apple Watch could be defective when paired with a bluetooth chest strap. The same strap on Polar gives her double the amount of calories. I just think Apple is using different algorithms. And even if we do exchange it, God knows when they'll send her another one.
Patience is finding something to do while you are waiting (for whatever).
In this case, perhaps you can find something productive to do at work without the watch on your wrist for a few minutes? How did you survive at work without the watch?
