So I'm really looking forward to watchOS 2 and can't wait for the features (which I believe should have been in OS 1 but I digress). One of the features which I thought was pretty nifty was the nightstand mode, where your watch will turn into a nicely lit alarm clock while on the charger, complete with a physical snooze button!
However, according to Apple, this only happens when you turn your watch sideways whilst it charges. I know a good number of us watch owners, including me, had bought or created a stand to more elegantly display and charge our watches. Since most (if not all) of these stands hold the watch upright, we will unfortunately not be able to take advantage of this cool new feature.
It's not a huge deal, but it is disappointing. It seems like an obvious oversight by Apple. Does anything think there will be another way to activate this mode? Why not have a setting to turn on nightstand mode whenever the watch is connected to a charger? IS there a setting already that went unmentioned? If possible, could someone with the beta find out if this mode really only works with the watch sideways?
Thanks!
