I received my stainless AW in the very first day. I love it, and the hardware and the software are very very nicely done.
Messages (text, iMessage) are an important feature of the watch. Unfortunately the messages on the Apples Watch have confused me or let me down a couple of times in the past 2 weeks. Here is a summary:
Shows the wrong message in the alert. It shows the oldest un-dismissed message in the thread rather than the latest. This is rather confusing. My electric car sends me a text message when its done charging or when the charge is interrupted because the circuit breaker tripped. When I receive the latter message I have to run to the parking lot to reset the breaker. So now I get a haptic tap, look at the watch, and don't realize that I'm staring at yesterday's message rather that the one that just came in.
Work-around: You can scroll down to the latest, but its really wrong to show old news.
Doesn't sync message deletes between iPhone and Apple Watch.
This is just plain dumb, as it should be easily fixable. Now you would have to delete every message twice. I know that the same problem exists between the messages app on my Macs and my iPhone, but its worse for the AW..
The work around is just to give up and leave all messages on the Apple Watch, but its ugly to have a polluted message inbox. Deleting messages on the tiny Apple Watch screen is way too much of a hassle.
