I've updated to watchOS 2.0, and the two native apps I've downloaded (Dark Sky and PCalc) seem to take forever installing onto the watch. I've power cycled the phone and watch, and I still have the same issue...
Got a tip for us?

My Dark Sky was spinning as well but it eventually worked. A lot faster now. Updates make be a little slower on the watch compared to the iphone.
Yes! I'm having the exact same issue with my watch. Dark Sky, E-Trade, City Mapper etc. all apps that were just updated with Watch OS 2 support with native apps all can't open. Holding off on a restore, as it's a pain and like you said it may not fix it. Wonder what's going on. I was jailbroken on 8.4 a few weeks ago...
I'm not sure which of my others are native apps but both Dark Sky and City Mapper open fine for me.
Edit: I take that back. My apps hadn't been updated. I just updated them and I'm having the same issue.

Un-pair the watch, then re-pair it. It is amazing what a difference a hyphen makes.
Did you re-pair it from backup or start fresh? I tried re-pairing from backup earlier and still cannot get any native apps to load.
I just turned off and then turned on the location service and they worked after that. Un-pairing and pairing the watch is a hassle.
