This is what happens when your a jack of all trades, master of none.
Apple will figure it out by using the other smart watches for benchmarks(creative ideas) to work out the issues/inaccuracies.
Well, she just has to double the number from the Watch before inputting them. That's not cheating, that's correcting
And I think who have the very reason why the calorimeter is never accurate.
The human body is pretty efficient. Imagine if the treadmill at the gym told you that running for half an hour actually burnt the equivalent of a fat free yogurt ? Most people would be discouraged - and that would mean less money for the gyms and less money for the treadmill manufacturers. For a business point of view, it's way better to tell the customer that, yes, they burnt at least a dozen cupcakes in the process...
"No way to know which of the two is more accurate right? Any scientific tests I could do to convince her?"
You could stick her into a calorimeter. Of course, you would have to need lots of money, lots of space and a non-claustrophobic wife. A calorimeter will be 100% accurate.
But really, the calorie display is mostly a gadget. There is no way it can be accurate, there are just too many things to factor in : age, weight, BMI, sex, running technique, shoes, training (a marathon runner will be much more efficient than your wife), time of the day, amount of sleep, illness, genetics...
It's just like scales that measure body fat, they can't be accurate and they are not.
Apple did not claim all day above 50% battery life
It requires to be connected to the charger. I was at work downloaded the update, it then paused to get connected to the charger that was at 87%.
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
I've noticed that it fails to read my heartbeat (or reads it inaccurately) when I'm sweating a lot. Wiping off the sweat from my wrist makes it work for a while again. (It's firmly affixed to my wrist because I don't like it to wiggle around). Other than that, it's very accurate it tends to be exactly the same as my chest strap (although with a 5-10 second lag).
Fortunately, when it's not working it's WAY off (like 180 when I'm just cooling off after the stair stepper, or 51 when I'm huffing and puffing on a stair stepper sprint).
Some women have issues with their chests, especially when strapped.
What does one do with accurate fitness results?
Can someone check to see if they fixed the bug that causes some Exchange calendar events accepted via Outlook to not show up on the Watch even though it's on the iPhone?
I know that changing the event status to private and then back fixes it, but it's annoying to do this for every single even that doesn't show up :S

Buttons swapped on Timer
The Start & Reset buttons swapped places in the Timer app. Start is now on the right, Reset on the left. Before 1.0.1, Start was on the left, Reset on the right.
Minor thing, but I use it a lot and this is how I felt it should be.

It flashes on the Astronomy and Solar too in 1.0. The only digital face that doesn't flash the ":" is Motion.
(I haven't upgraded yet and I just checked)
Same here, no notifications, but then I don't own a watch.
Wait, I do get notifications by talking-to people. I guess too old fashioned.
That watch leaves me more than ice cold at this point.
The hoopla for this beta product is not deserved.
Yes, and I agree that is is very stupid and I am on same scenario (finish work in 1 hour, then I will update it when I go home) But their claim of all day battery life on the Apple watch still stands correct IMO.
Same here I get a full day and then some! I installed the update and so far my apps are a ton more snappy then before and my gazillion emails load faster! So far so good
Slow to install
but worked without a hitch. I notice that Siri does infact respond quicker. One thing I have noticed and I have only done this twice is that if ask Siri what time it is the response is always 1-2 minutes behind the time on the watch face. Not that big of a deal as I can just flick my wrist to see the actual time. I do notice the few third party apps I use seem to be a little bit faster to load.
