Maybe I didn't notice it before, but in 1.0.1 it seems like the colon between Hours and Minutes is blinking on the digital watch faces (Astronomy, Solar). Was that present on the Apple Watch 1.0 software? Also is the blinking (more of a fade-out) representing seconds?
For anyone interested it looks like the emojis are just the basic ones taken from your phone, including your most frequently used ones at the top.
This will please my wife who thinks the animated ones are just creepy.
As others have said, glances appear snappier, I don't use third party apps except Dark Sky so can't really comment on that.

LOL. I am so glad I am one of the five people
Me too - wonder who the other 3 are?
Very true. And you are correct, but most people don't work out that long. But some of us do! At least every 1-2 weeks, I go for a 4-5 hour run. And about 6-7 times a year, I go for a run that lasts for 8-14 hours.
Obviously, I don't use the Apple Watch for those. I use the Garmin Fenix 2 instead. I doubt the Apple Watch will ever be able to handle a 14-hour run. As power consumption drops and battery power increases, Apple will simply add more powerful features versus creating functionality that less than 1/1000 of 1% of their users could use.
I think having it on the charger is a requirement.watch is at 75% and the iPhone watch app is telling me to charge to at least 50%... it's 75%, oh well i'll throw it on the charge when i get home.
This would be great, but I'm not seeing it on the Utility watch face. Which watch face are you using?
you're charging it wrong -- supposed to take it off first, preferably at bedtime unless you don't mind losing activity credit.
Well 1.0.1 fixed something, because it hasn't failed me even once since the update!
Damn you Apple and your accurate "all day battery life" claims.
Left my charger at home
Apple did not claim all day above 50% battery life
mine had been checking for updates for ever nothing just stuck on checking i restarted phone restarted watch app still sits just searching
lol. So, so, funny.... like anyone cares to know all that junk. They just want an internet connection that works.
Relax, Mr. zoomcrypt. When I was typing out my original post I assure you my tongue was firmly in cheek.
You realize iPad-dude neither knows nor cares about any of your random number specs, simply sees a generic Galaxy-something-or-other, and feels sorry for you that you're obviously too poor to afford a real iPad?
You might spend your time trying to out-iPad the iPad-dudes, but nobody ever tried to out-Android anyone. You're losing a race that nobody else is participating in.
Same. One of the biggest surprises for me is the battery life. It's been so much better than I thought it would be. I can use it plenty, including 90-120 minute workouts, and go to bed with it at 40%. I thought it would be dead by then, but it's not. I'm getting lots of usage.
