Watch OS 1.01

[Bigdog9586]

I have my watch. Started watch and clicked English and got the screen you use to pair. Opened watch app and they started pairing the pic on the watch and phone has been on there for 5 min. So far with nothing else happening. How long before it gets to where I can set it up?

I've restarted it a couple times. Watch says to finish setup on phone but phone won't go past the picture used for setup. How long does it stay on that screen?

No one tried the new emoji yet? Screenshot?

Its just the emojis from your phone. The plain, non animated ones, with your favorites at the top of a very long list. Not really sure it it adds much since you can only send an emoji or text, not an emoji and text.

Speakerphone is now louder.

Can anyone confirm?

I just timed my 1.0.0 watch (I'm at work without a charger and haven't been able to update) and got those exact same times - 6 seconds upon wrist raise and 18 seconds following a screen tap. So I don't know that anything's changed there...

Same here. Also at work without a charger and have been testing functions based on the responses from the update. One thing that I will note is that upon restarting the watch, the time from the watch face to the apps seemed faster that before. I have no doubt the update improved performance but like what has been said, I think a restart can help.

Yeah I'd loved to see that to but I can't seem to find them !

This is new... it used to just say "Charging" when the charger is attached, now it shows the current percentage.

That's not real is it? Shame, as it's about the only one that seems to clearly convey an emotion.

Hmmm did not update yet but I have 6 seconds on a wrist raise and 16 on a screen touch.

Its 7 & 20 now

 

[Apfpilot]

can anyone confirm the louder speakerphone volume or is that just a placebo?

It is real. Go to the emoji force touch to turn red. Then scroll to sad face and smoke comes out of emojis ears. Only works with red face and not yellow.

Not sure if it is new with 1.0.1 though.

Wouldn't it be nice if the screen would display that briefly every 15 seconds or so while charging? (as an option, of course.)

I notice no difference at all with anything other then the emoji. I don't use 3rd party apps yet tho.

The emoji are silly. Takes so long to scroll through them. Seems rather un-Apple-like to implement it this way....

Ah, I wasn't waiting long enough for the smoke to appear, it seems!

Can anyone confirm?

I just compared my 42mm sport with my wife's 38mm sport who does not yet have the update, and the max volume seemed the same.

 

[WilliamG]

Battery life seems to last about 2 days now where I could maybe go about 30 hours before.

I noticed the same thing.

Of course it is. I'd be willing to bet at least $1 that all these "improvements" are nothing more than placebos.

I've noticed:

1.) No louder speakerphone.
2.) No stronger taptic.
3.) No speed increase in 3rd party apps.

Seriously, is these all the new "Safari is snappier" for the Watch?

That's not new, it was available in 1.0

I would prefer to see the screen again when I take the watch off the charger so I know how much juice I have.

Yes, I'm still on 1.0 and can confirm the smoke coming out of red emoji is not new.

Looks like people are only discovering some features that have been there all along.

At the same time, there could be some truth to some of them. For instance, if third party apps open up 10% faster, they might still be "slow" but it's still an improvement that might be noticed in some circumstances. The big boost will be when native apps become available.

Would be real nice if we could have the clock stay on when the watch is charging, would make a great bedside clock

I just use a complication for that...

 

[Pinksteady]

Since updating text messages are now being delivered to my phone (even when it is locked) instead of my watch. This was a problem I encountered a few times in the first few weeks, sad to see it still happening.

Agreed! I do have Moto 360 envy in that regard.
