Apple Releases watchOS 2.2 With Multi-Watch Support for iPhone, Maps Improvements

What's the consensus around speed and battery with 2.2?

For me, the speed is roughly 30% faster opening and working with the built-in apps (mail, messages, calendar, etc.). Third party apps are about the same, but I think that has more to do with those particular apps than the watch itself.

As for battery, I'm seeing about a 10% improvement on normal daily wearing.

I agree with all who say the watch is slow overall, but the 2.2 OS noticeably speeds it up for me.

Watch OS 2.2 is somewhat better, there's definitely an improvement in terms of app launching and overall responsiveness.

Slightly slower than I anticipated with this update but much more refined overall.

But yeah a "Delete All" Messages option would be nice... One thread by one... Cumbersome!

You're going to have to show me where I said I don't like his avatar. When you choose your outward representation on a Mac forum to be a nod to Microsoft and the person purports to live where Microsoft is headquartered, I question whether the feedback is objective. That's the point.

Well, is your original comment of objective nature? For sure not. Mine neither

My apps still do not work. This update has not fixed the issue of music on the phone vs problems with the apps. It's almost useless.

Maybe have Apple look at it?

How many times do we (try to) open an app, and the screen dims out forcing us to flick the wrist to get it to wake up again. its painfully slow.
however notifications are fine, glances seem to be okay, and changing straps are fine.

Apple Watch (app on iPhone)>settings > general> wake screen ---> on tap; wake for 70 seconds

I know that setting however, try holding your wrist in that position for 70 seconds, and you'll see why I disabled it.
we need something between 15 & 70

I'm trying to figure out why I need directions to work and Home. If you don't know your way there, maybe you need to be unemployed or homeless.

One word: traffic. I use navigation every day to and from work to take the best route given the traffic conditions.
