Apple Releases First Apple Watch Software Update With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

[gijoeinla]

I was going by heart rate since you mentioned the Polar heart rate chest strap.

Polar app might say 500 calories (the strap itself doesn't tell you calories burned).

Treadmill might say 200 calories. Endomondo might say something else. MapMyRun might say something else. The bike at the gym might say something else. The Watch might say something else.

You're gonna return the watch because the calorie count on apps differ?

If you (or your wife) knows that she was in the heart rate training zone for X minutes during a workout -- then that should be what matters most. Who cares what the calorie count on an app says? They're ALL estimates and they're all going to be different.

In my experience -- heart rate wise the watch has been 100% accurate. I've tested MY WATCH against other monitors and they ALL MATCHED.

As far as calories. The watch calorie count differs greatly from the treadmills at the gym - by far. But it's my contention that the treill readings are bogus and tend to trust the watch

No update showing up for me...

Her dissatisfaction comes from the calories.

My wife returned our new scale because it said she weighted more than our old scale. Go figure.

4 x 'safari snappier' jokes so far.

Great work :-/

 

[loftiness]

can anyone with 1.0 compare this with your astronomy face? It might be the safari-snappier placebo but to my eyes earth is more saturated in 1.0.1:

 

[st0k3d]

My Safari seems snappier?

Edit: I should finish reading all posts before replying.

Well mines all updated. The screen is now more eager to light up when you flick your wrist than before, and also does it faster.

Noticed this! WAAAAY more sensitive!

Rumor has it all five people who have received their watches already are thrilled.

Rumor also have it that these who haven't received the watch yet are pissed and prefer to assume that only few bought the watch. It makes them feel better, they need it

 

[mdawid]

Apple Watch? Yeah it's Apple Maps bad ....

Loved Sunday's episode of Silicon Valley. Too funny.

 

[jjlannoo]

this update process is not speedy lol

 

[Ekuk]

Here's hoping I don't need to run on the spot to get my standing goal anymore, you're walking around doing stuff then ping it tells you it's time to stand up.. Annoying

The UI on the Charging icon has been updated so now there's a green ring to indicate what percent the Watch battery has been charged. Ex. if your watch is 50% charged then the green ring will be around the right half of the charging icon

Are you sure this wasn't there before?

 

[GenesisST]

Troll elsewhere.

Nothing wrong with a bit of funny sarcasm..

Or does "sarchasm" apply here? ;-)

So the iPhone 5 is now "Cadillac sized"?

Compared to a watch? Yes.

 

[The Tuck]

I can't even get mine to install when connected :/

Will this update work over the air? I have my charger but at work...

 

[acctman]

Here's to hoping they'll get around to adding wallpaper, multitasking, a calculator app, folders, cut-copy-and-paste, widge—wait…

where would you paste? you can't type/input text anywhere on the watch

Well mines all updated. The screen is now more eager to light up when you flick your wrist than before, and also does it faster.

Now that you say it, it definitely feels a lot quicker and all.


My Apple Watch seems noticeably more fluid and the fact it now supports my native language is another plus!

 

[TheAppleFairy]

crap, I can't install because my charger is at home. It has to be charging to install. Well at least it is downloaded.

 

[MacUserUK]

All done, no problems during the updating process.

Waking up the watch does seem a little bit more sensitive

 

[Mlrollin91]

Are you sure this wasn't there before?

Was not there before. Definitely new.

that made me LOL

Didn't you say the same about the iPad?

How are any of us iPad naysayers wrong? Our criticisms of this crap device still stand today as they did when it was first unveiled. It's a big iPod touch not capable of satisfying any computing needs on or near the level of a laptop or a truly modern tablet. Apple has yet to address any of the shortcomings of this product, including the ridiculous product name.

The iPad's value as a novelty is beginning to waver as indicated in the quarterly sales decline as people are beginning to see the disturbing truth behind this product's existence: to separate you from your hard-earned cash by repackaging low-tech parts from a 4.7 body into a 9.7 body. Apple has figured out how to sell the same exact product twice to the gullible.

Every time I'm at an modest coffee shop and see someone pull out an iPad I respond by pulling out my Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 rocking Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with Samsung's innovative TouchWiz UI, a lightning fast quard core Qualcomm Snapdragon, 1.5 GB RAM, and of course a microSDXC card slot for expansion. Bam. Checkmate.

Phone says 'installing on watch. ' Watch has finished its update. The clock is back, but the red icon of the phone that indicates they're not communicating appears. Not sure how long this takes. It's been at least 10-15 minutes.

The previous poster didn't lie. It takes forever looking like it's doing nothing and then it finishes.

 

[PackFan]

Anyone else not even seeing an update when you check in the iPhone app?
