I made a stand for my watch that charges on its side, getting ready for the feature. If I tap the top of the stand, the display will come on. Its sensitive. If we ever have an earthquake, I should be able to tell you what time it happened.
Tried it and it works. I literally tap my bedside unit and it came on. Thanks.
Wondering if others noticed the resting calories appears to be fixed? They removed the wording for resting calories but somewhere in the past week or so, it looks like the numbers are now correct. For example...
If I had 700 calories for a workout, my total days calories were 3600 but are now 2600. I assume iOS beta 5 fixed this.
I'm on watchOS1, but was wondering if performance of the watchOS is improved in version 2?
I find the interface quite choppy and not smooth at all (especially when navigating around my list of apps or loading up and switching between glances).
Day 14 of my return period is tomorrow. I don't know if the watch is under powered (and therefore will always be like this) or improvements are coming soon in watchOS 2.

To me, beta 5 is solid and the battery has been great. I have noticed the glances are slightly faster and smoother. Didn't notice much of a problem with navigating through apps on version 1 though.
I'm becoming more and more impressed wit the watch and looking forward to native apps and some other workout apps and features.
The only issue I have seen so far with beta 5 is every so often a notification will double (I think Exchange only) and when it does I can see the watch face through the bottom half of the notification. I sweep up and back down to refresh the screen view and it goes away. End of the day, not a big deal and I can almost prevent it. Overall, very happy with the beta and love seeing the multicolor display on Modular. I started out against this face having worn analog watches for so long but have really grown to like the amount of info it provides and the slightly larger complications. Looking forward to maybe swapping weather glance for Dark Sky-feels like temperature. (assuming they make that and I can click on the temp to see rain forecast, awesome)
Sorry if this has been covered, but has anyone been unable to verify a credit card for Apple Pay for Watch OS 2 via the iPhone iOS 9 beta 5 Apple Watch application? The Apple Watch app fails to verify any of my cards but reports no error. By fail, I mean opening the banking app on the iPhone does nothing to verify the card.
To be clear, my cards are verified for Apple Pay on the iPhone but fail to verify for use on the Apple Watch.
Is there a potential workaround I can try?
Thanks.

I have IoS9 Public Beta and Apple Watch OS2 beta 5 and Apple Pay Works though I had to re-setup. Tested and works fine.
I have Capital one 360 and the wallet app never has worked for me on the watch. I had to switch the verify to call in and I called in and they verified it.
Thank you. Restoring the Apple Watch again didn't work, but calling Capital One and having them activate my Apple Watch for Apple Pay did.
It took about 30 minutes to get to a technician who could activate it manually. First line of support ran through the troubleshooting steps and couldn't get it working using the Wallet app.
I installed it on Saturday and it's been great for me so far. Battery life seems the same.
The only issue I encountered was Hey, Siri didn't work initially but as other posters have said, re-pairing it fixed it!
Ive not had any other issues!
Ditto on Siri and the beta 5 has been very solid and makes me look forward to the release. They also fixed the resting calories and battery is definitely at least equal to 1.0.1I installed it on Saturday and it's been great for me so far. Battery life seems the same.

Weather works fine on my beta 5. I use it on the modular face and it seems to be faster at updating as I travel.

What's the procedures to install it? I already have iOS 9 beta on my iPhone. Thanks.
If you are not a developer, do a google search for Apple Watch os2 install beta for free
There is a YouTube video to show you and download the profile. Simple instructions.
I really hope it has an option to always stay on while being plugged in, without that it's just a novelty. Who has a nightstand clock that turns itself off?
