Pet peeves of the Apple Watch.

[nicho]

I'd love to have a weather face -- sort of like a photo face, but the background "photo" is the current weather.

Oooh, particularly if they were as beautiful as the jellyfish motion ones. They could film rain in high definition and stuff.

I'd be so excited for thunderstorm time!

Call me crazy (or indecisive) if you wish, but I have owned and returned/sold two Apple Watches. My two biggest pet peeves are the design and the price tag! I understand Jony Ive gave some weird reason for making the device rectangular, but I would so love to see it become round in the 2nd gen. I know it's likely not going to happen but you never know. I just know the sleek factor will increase so much when it becomes round. As for my other pet peeve- the price tag just seems too steep for what the device does, or specifically it's value in my tech lifestyle. I'd really like to see the 42mm Sport drop down to $299, but once again this probably isn't likely to happen anytime soon. I'll be interested to see if something about AW2 convinces me to try it yet again! Maybe 3rd time will be the charm??

It doesn't make sense to have a round watch face. That would be terrible for doing most things on the watch, like reading messages, or really anything else on the screen.

I would love that photo face. They could integrate clouds or rain or in my area snow and have it animated. That would be nice.

I pretty much agree with most of the complaints here, most notably the speed and lack of good 3rd party app support. But one big pet peeve I have that I haven't seen listed here is this:

I use Siri dictation frequently. Or, I try to.Sometimes I get "Apple Watch failed to take dictation" and then if I try again right away, it zips along and captures what I said perfectly. But, every so often, I'll dictate a response and watch as it "types out" the words I just said. Everything looks good, so I hit Send. Then, suddenly, several of the words on screen start changing to different words, and then the text immediately sends. I don't know why it does this when it writes out the text perfectly, but only changes once I actually send it. Can't even count how many gibberish texts that I've sent to my confused friends.

I have had this same thing happen and it drives me crazy. I think the whole dictation thing on the Watch is awful. Can't say how many times it either doesn't do the dictation, does what you describe or doesn't send what it transcribed. I had heard that it does quite well at dictation, but my own experience has not been good.
