I went for an Apple Watch Try-On yesturday and for those of you that haven't had the chance to test haptic feedback on the Apple Watch, it is truly amazing! I came out of the Apple Store with two things in mind;

First:
"Wow, I really got to buy one of those Milanese Loop!"
(Which I did as soon as I got home. Will be rocking a 42mm Silver Sport Watch with the Milanese Loop, I was on the fence before trying it, was thinking of waiting for 2nd Generation.)

And Second thing I had in mind:
"Haptic feedback is really amazing hopefully it's customizable!"

So basically that's what this thread is about. Do we know? Anybody here agrees this would be much more beneficial than it is the iPhone?
 
I know I saw a reference to that somewhere, but I was also told you could by my Apple specialist when I had my appointment. She ran the demo loop and had it 'alert' me, and specifically said that it was adjustable in the AW app on the phone.

Now, what degrees and intensity, we will find out (hopefully) starting next (week) Friday!
 
Will Custom Tapic Feedback Configured On iPhone Be Felt On My Apple Watch?

Good to hear, let's hope we can make fun patterns, and not just different intensities.
 
I doubt that we will be able to adjust patterns, knowing Apple, though I hope I'm wrong.
 
I believe that you can adjust its intensity.

You can adjust the strength of the haptic feedback.

I have no first hand information but some of the reviews mention different patterns of taptic feedback for different types of alert - so it'd seem the watch is capable. It's a question of whether it's configurable in the same way as vibration alerts on the iPhone.
