I can't get either of the two native apps I have to load. Star Walk 2 and ETA. All non-native apps still work fine. Annoying.
Got a tip for us?

My Watch OS2 issues so far.

The problem I am having is when I turn the phone to airplane mode, it turns the watch to Airplane mode (But apparently cannot actually) and the watch is bricked.. none of the buttons do anything, cannot even get the low power time to show and the only thing that sparks it to life is to plug it into the charger. Then, it's right back to where it was.
It's not 100% totally repeatable but it can be reproduced.

I started the update when I got in last night; I think there was one false start but after that I left it running and fell asleep. Woke up to watch in nightstand mode.
My battery life is fine today but I'm noticing a big change in terms of the Exercise ring; it has me on 43 minutes of exercise so far. I reckon I'd usually be on 15 at most by now. Active calories seem as before though.

There does seem to be some common types of issues when disconnected from the WATCH but still connected via WIFI (to a known network)
The watch seems to have connectivity, but for example apps that require a true location such as DarkSky seem to have a real problem updating at all when not actually connected to the watch. They seem to fail or timeout. Wunderground is the same. I have the feeling that they are trying to get a real-time LOCATION stamp, but they cannot get location alone - without the watch - and therefore they fail. Apple probably needs to send or list in the wOS2 app some "last known location" stamp that the apps can use in the event of no connection to the GPS on the phone.
Also, things like the stock STOCKS app doesn't seen to update at all over WIFI, it just shows last known data - which can be WILDLY off.. for example it shows the market is up 180 right now, but we're down 300!..Anyway, it probably needs to be able to stand alone a bit better.
