You'll have to reset as new when pairing (it'll still have watch OS 2.0) if you don't already have a Watch backup available. Otherwise, you can simply pair it and restore from backup.
Got a tip for us?

Have you unpaired it from your phone and repaired it? It won’t lose anything, it will ask you if you want to reinstall a backup which it will create when you unpair it.
Did a reset and then restore from backup..... worked for a while and now its dead again.
A few small details I like:
- When running, the watch taps me on the wrist for every km. So good!
- it clearly displays elapsed time and average time per km
- haptic silent notifications!
- the omnifocus complication
- the activity app. This app is really cool and easy to use.
- the different watch faces
- it looks good and is comfortable
- I am getting great battery life and it charges really fast

for me it is the same, especially in the trainings app it takes ages to react, runtastic is not working at all, some other apps are really slow, I am a bit dissapointed
I agree, Workout app and another apple apps are really slow, there were better in the first OS.
Use to be slow with the older os version and the beta but now I click on the workout app and it comes right up and force touch end is so much better. It would be slow to respond but now it is quick.
Don't know if this is new but you can dismiss alarms and timers with 2.0.1. I don't remember this being in 2.0. Maybe I'm wrong?
Also, in the workout setting, there's a new "Pace View" setting that you can choose to show the current pace or the average pace overall. Don't know if this is new either.

Force Touch in 2.0.1 requires less pressure power and it works easier and quickier.
Battery life has gone from OK to outstanding in watchOS 2.0.1.
67% battery life after a full day (6 AM till 10 PM). This is even with all the notifications and using the screens.

You are so right. Battery life has gotten a lot better. I'm getting about the same as you now.
Off the charger at 5am, here is just before I put it back on that night. Second full day with it.
Here's where we are so far today. Probably took it off around 7am.

It's in the customize portion, there are screens to swipe through to change colors. the other screens change complications, and the amount of detail in the watchface.
I see the same thing. Good battery life even with workouts etc. Also this thing charges so fast! Within an hour it is fully charged, although it has rarely been below 50% when I charge it.
Does anyone know if there's a way to have your watch notify you if you're separated from your phone? My Pebble would vibrate if I got out of range. This was useful to me numerous times. Last week I took off for work and realized a couple blocks later that I forgot my phone at home. My Pebble would be vibrating before I left the driveway.
So I updated my watch to the 2.01 update this morning. No problems all day until about 7 PM tonight. Now I have to to unlock the watch every time I raise my wrist, like now its not sensing my wrist.
Is there some correlation between this and the update, or has the sensor fried in the watch?
I have rebooted the watch and the phone. Anything else I can try?
I have had the watch since Mid May with no issue.
Thanks in advance.
