The watch will only get better over time, and I just witnessed that fact with the latest Duo update (two factor authentication app). I'm now able to authenticate into my corporate VPN using two factor authentication just by taping a button on my wrist.
 
Yes, I noticed this as well. The great thing about this is that it isn't just a feature for  Watch owners, as now iPhone users can also approve their login via Duo from the lock screen or by dragging down on the notification while using the phone, without launching the app.

I wish every iPhone app supported interactive notifications already.
 
Good to know about notifications on the phone - will have to try that.

This was the #1 thing I was waiting for with the watch - between RDP, OWA, and ECP sessions I'm constantly approving DUO notifications all day for work, so to be able to do it quickly on the watch is fantastic.
 
This was a nice surprise when I got my watch. Pretty nice to be able to do 2-factor authentication from my watch!
