I apologize if there is already a thread on this but I did a few searches and couldn't find a consolidated thread on Apple Watch issues so I figured I might start one as a resource for those of us that are just getting our watches.
I've had my 42mm SGS BSB for a couple of days now and so far so good. My only real complaint is the companion iOS Watch App seems incredibly buggy.
I wonder if this is just me but I've found the companion app to be basically unusable while I'm syncing a playlist to the watch. All the watch icons in the app show the white grid loading icon instead of the actual app and while you can tap into them on your phone, it takes forever to load into the settings of that app and any changes you make to the show on watch or show glances etc may or may not register. To be fair, I was syncing 100 plus songs to my watch but still, Apple should know that while an update or playlist sync is taking place, there isn't enough bandwidth via bluetooth LE to allow other functionality, and should at least lock the app on the sync list until it is done. If people weren't paying attention to what was going on in the background, it would easily seem like there was a serious hardware or software issue.
My genius playlists also are not showing up as a playlist I can sync to my watch from the watch app. I went through and made sure I downloaded all the songs in the playlist on to my phone via iTunes Match and the playlists do not show up on the music menu in the companion app.
Anyone else with similar issues?
