WatchOS 1.X Wishlist...

I'd like to ability to add an app to my watch and not on my phone

Maybe a future software update can include sleep tracking, which IMO was a big misstep. It charges fast and could be charged for an hour before bedtime and wear it while sleeping.

I wore mine all day and only went down to 64%. Went home, charged it for about an hour while I showered, etc and went back to 100%.

3. Multiple timers like they said they would.

Just wanted to say I just put two timers in my modular watch face at bottom left and bottom right positions ALTHOUGH weirdly they both countdown the same time!!!!

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.

Yes, upon putting the watch back on the rings come back. I think having them go gray is a subtle way of saying "we're not going to track any movement until you put it back on".
 
Bug fixes:
- my bluetooth headset doesn't connect
- my music doesn't sync over
- phone calls are a working only sometimes
- activity tracking uses a lot of battery
 
The 3 I've noticed it needs:

  1. The new emoji
  2. FaceTime Audio (seriously why does it not have this)
  3. Double press the Friends button for Passbook in countries without Apple Pay
 
T9 keyboard typing for messages app.

*ducks*

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.

I didn't know about this bug but if it is so I would like this to be fixed as well.

I do a lot of activity and it uses a lot of energy so I recharge during the day.

----------

I would like to sync my watch with iTunes and not with the phone. I understand I need to pair it with a phone for certain functions. Also I would like to get a great Mac App that does track all my activities with statistics and such.

----------

and why can't I send emails from the watch?

Why does it tell me to go on my iPhone then?

I went into the messages app on the phone. Maybe it says that for a notification, but if you go into the app on the watch it shows?

Guys, i know it can sound stupid, but what about the possibility for the Monogram to be an emoticon ? A flag for example ?

Nope.

I wonder if the person mistook it. When I take it off, the rings appear to reset, but when I put it back on my wrist, they go back to what they were.

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.

Mine has this option, I set it on the watch app on my phone.

Thanks for the replies. I'd turned Location Services off for the stock weather app which completely hid it in the iOS app and thus wasn't available for me to choose in the Watch app. Now I've got current location for my temps. Thanks!

I am shocked there is no podcast app. Maybe I'm the only one, but when I work out or do just about anything I always listen to podcasts. APPLE YOU ARE THE BIGGEST PODCAST AGGRAGATOR! WHERE ID THE PODCAST APP??

----------

Oh also why can't I send a tweet from my watch? I call up Siri and tell her to tweet, and she responds that she can only tweet from my iPhone and suggested handoff

Podcast would be nice. You can control playback if podcast is active in your phone, but native would be great.

7. Full hands free communication in iMessages
8. World Clock settings in Apple Watch companion app
9. More workout activities: weight lifting, yoga, martial arts
10. Audible Siri
11. "Total calories burned" listed in Activity app, not just active calories
12. Improved loading speed of third party apps
13. Faster activation of screen upon wrist raise

15. Official Apple Podcast app

What do you want to see?

1. I would like to have the ability to launch an app like music from the clock screen.

2. And I would like to have the ability to play music using the watches speaker, even if it's reduced sound.

3. I don't like that I can't access music when I choose the source to be apple watch and I have no bluetooth audio device connected. Be nice if I can choose a default source. The watch seems to be defaulted to the phone.

The rings reset to 0 if the watch is locked, then go back to where they were once it's unlocked. It seems to be a privacy thing.
 
I generally need reading glasses to see close but so far I've been ok with most of what is on the watch. However, some of the complications are super tiny even though it seems like there is plenty of room to make them bigger. I'd like an option to have larger complications. :)
 
I'm really hoping they add the option to have the Apple Watch silence itself whenever the paired iphone is silenced via the physical switch.
 
More camera options using remote camera would be nice. Being able to switch between Photo/Square and apply different filters from the Watch App would be a great start.
 
They need to have car awareness and highly customizable behaviours for when you're in the car.

- if your car microphone is better when you're in the car, use that
- enable Siri audio when you're in the car
- use the iPhone's bluetooth function (handoffs from the watch) - as the iPhone's likely plugged in (conserves watch battery).

Also need to easily be able to customize behaviours for bluetooth headsets. (and the potential to do hand-off of the device between watch and iPhone - we should be able to customize this).
 
dont know if this has been mentioned or not but have the option for completed workouts to autosave. battery life improvements for fitness tracking would also be a +
