Apple Seeds Third WatchOS 2.2 Beta to Developers

Turning my wrist and raising it slightly tells everyone else in the meeting that I'm thinking about the time and not what they're saying.

It's true, but I don't want to telegraph it... Having it blink on, in addition to the motion, just makes it more obvious.

Don't meeting rooms usually have wall clocks you can look at?

Multiple watches on one phone? Who has multiple watches?

I wonder if maybe this is for families/couples where maybe they only have one iPhone but two people have a Watch and want to be able to track their own exercise. Obviously they need to be in range of the iPhone for certain features but the Watches work fairly well on their own for a lot of things.

no. the data goes into healthkit, which is supposed to be personal. similarly all the watches would have to be on the same apple id for icloud. this would mean shared imessage and digital touch would just be completely borked. it's definitely not for that.

It is clear to me that it's not actually achievable with the current model. It was more food for thought.

Well it does use OLED display the current model, so wouldn't it be possible to do a "on-all-the-time" solution with a different look? Might be a small dim digital clock or very basic analogue clock or something that wouldn't take up many frames and much juice?

Really no idea. I know the Huawei from m friend does it. It is thicker. More a mans watch which I wouldn't mind.
 
I'm sorry for the usual moan but battery life seems worse now with dp3 compared to dp2.

It feels like the WatchOS engineering are constantly changing the processor 'clock' speed.
One moment the watch is snappy with bad battery, the next moment it's opposite

Maybe if you work for a fancy enough company...

That sounds more like a problem with your attitude rather than the watch. Or maybe you should just get a different watch if you want to sneak a peak at the time like that.

Yes, of course. It's my attitude that's the problem. I would be wise to take attitude advice from a person who goes ad hominem when someone suggests a minor feature they'd like to see in their tech gear.

I suppose I should be fair: a watch that displays the time really is a radical request and suggesting it probably does mark me as a sociopath...
