Screenshot of this? Would love to know what it looks like without having to run away from my phone ;)

To see it for yourself, You can just turn your iPhone's Bluetooth off. Sometimes isn't instant, so maybe go on a glance that would communicate with the iPhone app.

I discovered this at the weekend whilst playing with force touch.
Force Touch isn't all or nothing.. It seems to work for all pressure levels between the min and max pressure.

Try this:
When you're looking at the time and you force touch to pick a different face, rather than just all in force touch, just lightly touch then gradually apply pressure..
Then do it again but slower.
Then do it again but only go half way, then hover back n forth.

It made me a little excited for force touch coming to the iPhone - just think of the possibilities in games!
 
In the Activity app on the iPhone, if you make a gesture towards the right, you can see your calorie goal for the week ( you can see your progression from week to week).
 
Here's a cool little Siri trick I just discovered. When you ask Siri to launch apps, you don't have to keep your wrist raised.

So you can raise your wrist and say something like "hey Siri start a workout", then lower your wrist and allow Siri to process your request, when it's done processing and opening the app, it will tap you on the wrist. Pretty cool. This way, you don't have to keep your wrist raised until Siri opens the app for you.
 
I use the stopwatch a lot, so put it on my COLOR watch face as a complication. Just noticed that if you start it and then go back to the watch face, you can see it running--in very small font, but pretty cool!
 
To have the Watch finish accepting dictation just touch the audio indicators on the bottom of the screen. When dictating a message that will also cause the message to send.

Cool, I just found out it does the same thing with the timer too.

re. Mickey

OK, at least once you have to watch Mickey change from facing right to facing left at 6:00 . . .
 
I have two things to add to the Siri section:

1. If you've finished speaking and Siri is still thinking about the rest of your statement, you can rotate the crown to speed up the dictation.

2. A tap on the colorful sound waves will cause Siri to process the dictation immediately and stop listening; as opposed to waiting for Siri to automatically determine when you've finished speaking

EDIT:
Just noticed QuietSure mentioned #2 three posts above
 
How can I stop this notification and just directly view the image on my watch?

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but you can actually dismiss notifications by swiping down on the notification instead of scrolling all the way down to the bottom to press the 'Dismiss' button.

So apparently the Heart rate issues we've all been having is because Apple decided to not let the Watch measure the heart rate if your arm is moving.

So it's a feature instead of a bug. Not sure if I agree though, my battery life hasn't improved or worsened in anyway. Surely they can make this an option? I liked the old way of heart rate every 10 minutes. The new way is not very consistent even if you don't move your arm.
 
Does anyone have trouble getting "unlock with iPhone" to work after 1.0.1? Mine no longer works with 1.0.1 when it was working before. Didn't change anything.

Did a complete reset and still doesn't work.
 
You should update this to reflect the stupid HR sensor change they made.

Just did, thanks for the reminder. I agree, it is incredibly stupid.

Yep, works fine for me. Did you try turning the feature on and off, or maybe restart both the iPhone and the Watch?

But I would post this on a separate thread instead as you're more likely to get answers or tips on fixing that issue. This thread is only for little features and changes, but not bug reports (unless of course the bug is a feature and not a bug... Like the new heart rate mechanism :p).
 
. It's actually actually a good way to ignore a call while not letting the person who is calling know you ignored the call.

Ehh? If the phone rings and rings and isn't answered I would assume the person is ignoring my call.

I guess it's better than a few rings and the call being rejected to the answering service.

:)

Not necessarily. It's possible that they might have left their phone at their desks or something. I do that often at work now that I have my Watch. It's also more polite, I think, just to silence the call instead of just rejecting it.
