You can tweet from the Twitter watch app. I've just done it!
Yes, but if you just bring Siri up by itself she can't do it.
If you have custom vibrations on your iPhone it seems like a no brainer to transfer the the watch. I'm surprised this isn't the way it works. In due time i suppose.
Sometimes it wakes up to my last used app, even though I have it set to Watch face. Other times, it works as intended.
When playing a longer audio message, the screen shuts off after 4 seconds and the audio stops, rendering the message unplayable in full.
Podcasts need to happen yesterday!
Third party apps are haphazard and truly atrocious. This needs to be fixed because it is a horrific user experience. Either make the, work or don't have them, but I haven't had a good or even mediocre experience yet.
Dictating messages should know when I'm done and send it automatically.
New emoji support.
Other than this I really really like my Watch so far!!

It is always good to look to future improvements, but lets be honest, this is a wicked-good first gen product. Has any other Apple product been this polished out of the gate?
The "No notifications" thing really needs to be centered in the Notification Center. It was one of the first things I noticed when I started using it. Come on Apple don't be sloppy now!
Allowing dev access to hardware/sensors
Reminders app on watch
ability to add app info as complications

Customize double-push side button for those who don't want to use it for Pay.
Customize push crown for those who don't want to use it for Favorites.
Customize taptic patterns for different notifications.
Reposition customizable fields in watch faces.
Reminders app (really, Apple?!)
I wish that the wonderful Clear All notifications (Force Touch screen) could be implemented in iOS! I hate trying to tap all those small X's for all the apps' notifications.

When I swipe down to glances, I want to be able to go left or right.
Imagine a watch setup app on the iPhone that you place the glances where you want them in boxes with the watch face at the top.
Swipe down once, to the first layer. Then, left or right to find what you want.
Swipe down again, and then left or right once more.
Sort of like an upside down Christmas tree.
I'm getting tired of swiping to the right 15 times. Think of the layers as folders. First folder could be apple glances. Weather, stocks, settings, etc. Second folder, social glances. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc. Third swipe down games... You get the idea.
Also, with each layer, slightly change the background color so I can visually know where I am or show dots along the side or something.
Does that make sense? It would be easy to see everything overall if done correctly on the iPhone watch app.

My biggest annoyance so far is my glances that won't update so I'd like a way to do it manually.
In the graph that lists hours standing, I'd like to see some sort of way of highlighting the current hour. An outline or something similar would be helpful.
I'd also like to be able to reorder my watch faces on the face selection screen.

I'm pretty sure mine does this. My wish is just bug fixes. Glances reliability. And if I delete a message thread from the watch, delete it on the phone.
Complications!
My biggest feature request would be for 3rd party watch face complications. I'd love to be able to launch 3rd party apps right from my watch face. Many of the complications aren't useful for me (world clock I'm looking at you). Glances are ok, but they often require several swipes before you get to the glance you're interested in at that moment. That's not exactly a fast way to launch an app. Allowing users the option to put 3rd party app information on the watch screen would be precious.

Here's one.
I don't like how the activity circles automatically reset when the watch is placed on the charger.
Today, for example, I did two different workouts and used the watch a ton. I was down to about 10% and put it on the charger to top off. The stand metric is the problem here because it's measured in 12hr intervals while on your wrist and, unfortunately, I had to recharge before 12 hours had passed wearing it.
I feel like the watch should be smart enough to allow for charging and saving your tracked activity unless, say, 20 hours have passed since putting it on.

Allow using the digital crown to scroll while using the remote app. Imagine scrolling through your iTunes library with the fluidness of the crown. They really missed a great opportunity on that one, seemed like a natural feature to have.
I recharge mine in small sessions during the day, rather than at night and this hasn't happened to me? The activity circle shows nothing when off of my wrist but always picks back up where it left off when I put it on again.
WatchOS 1.X Wishlist...
1. Glances needs to be accessible from everywhere not just the watchfaces (double tap side button for those countries without Apple Pay?)
2. Handoff needs to be compatible with app store apps and iPad (reopening the app you were just working on is redundant)
3. Multiple timers like they said they would.
4 Choice of Ringtones calls/texts
5. Althought siri is more accurate than on my iPhone she clearer got very dum and limited.
6. Images the to show up in iMessage
