Well, something interesting. Since you mentioned the heart rate monitor I decided to go there and see if it worked. It did work and now my watch is back to normal, for the time being.
I have the same issue. I have to reboot my watch everything when this happened. Did you figure it out how to solve this problem?

tribalhere10 is looking at the Simple face, which has no blue aside from the seconds hand, yet it comes out bluish when photographed by my iPhone. The small tick marks around the perimeter, especially, blur together and bring out the blue tint that LED/AMOLED lighting usually has.
For comparison; here's mine today, with light orange for the seconds hand and date, but the rest of it looks light blue. Or maybe tribalhere10 is asking only about the date and seconds hand being blue in the other post...
Well it's happening again. Always locked up when I look at it. The heart rate monitor idea worked for about 10 minutes but doesn't last anymore. Is it time for a Apple Store visit or do I have another option? What happened with your visit?
After tapping one of the glances, what is the method to go back to the glances (so I can swipe left/ right and pick another one)? Currently I am having to press the crown which takes me back to the watch face and then I have to swip up again to bring up the glances.
Is there a "back" method from within any given glance?

Once you've tapped on a Glance, you've opened the corresponding app, and exited Glances. Don't think there is a "back" method other than what you're doing. I do the same.
I would like to know which week my AW was built.
Anyone knows how to interpret the serial number to find that out?

I don't know about checking the serial number, but my most entertaining guess comes from the Activity app on the phone. Mine has evidence of operating about three weeks before I bought it.
I think this site still works:

Edit: it still works for any Apple product. For Watch, open the Watch app on iPhone, General, About, and serial number is on that page. Or open the Settings app on Watch and do the same.

Not sure if it has something to do with OS 2.1 but I noticed yesterday my Apple Watch died on me around 9pm (I normally have a good 30-40% at the end of the day. Today, I removed the watch from the charger around 9:45am, it's currently 1:54pm and it's already at 52% (I barely even used the watch, may checked the time a handful of times). Anyone experiencing this?
My battery life has actually been better. I unplugged it at 10am and it's currently still at 97% with light use throughout the day.
Over the last 24 hrs, my watch's battery life on 2.1 has been the same as before.
Mine dropped 25 percent overnight. I rebooted it this morning and it seems to be fine again
My battery was draining fast again today, so I decided to restore the watch during class. Now it seems like everything is back to normal.
I've certainly witnessed noticeable improvements in various parts of the UI on 2.1:
All in all, 2.1 is a solid update thus far. It seems clear now that 2.0 was pushed out the door due to scheduling.
- Glances come up smoother and update noticeably quicker
- The lag is reduced when choosing an emoji or canned response to a text
- The lag is reduced when waiting for Siri to activate
- The lag is reduced when opening/selecting a new workout
- The lag is reduced when force touching to stop a workout
- 3rd party apps generally load quicker and seem more responsive
- Movement required to light the screen is reduced in Nightstand mode
All in all, 2.1 is a solid update thus far. It seems clear now that 2.0 was pushed out the door due to scheduling.
I had to go check mine after seeing this... Mine had activity a few time (4 separate days - 2 back to back days) ... Build week 40 per serial number which is first week of Oct.
