How to Install WatchOS2 on an Apple Watch

Elsewhere, watchOS 2 lets wearers see information from third-party apps on their watch face. Using the watch’s digital crown to scroll through GoPro settings, placing a little widget (“complication”) for your electric car’s battery on the watch face, and monitoring the soft thump of a fetal heart rate on Apple Watch could all add significant value to the watch.

According to Apple, half of its users have already upgraded their operating system to iOS 9. How frustrating is it that third party fitness apps never had access to your heart rate data, or apps such as Shazam couldn’t use the watch’s built-in mic, rather it relied on the iPhone’s microphone.

Others might want to dictate a response, which the Apple Watch can also accommodate.

Watch face is the first thing you will encounter when you will use it. watchOS 2 introduces two new ways to set your watch face. You can also ask Siri to calculate the tip-great for those of you who have real people to talk to and socialize with outside of Apple’s digital assistant. When you’re on the apps screen, tapping the digital crown once now takes you directly to the home screen.

Another new watch face, called Time-Lapse, shows iconic locations around the world shot over 24 hours.

– Before, the watch displayed only current pace during your runs. If you look at your watch at 10:00 p.m., it’ll be dark and you’ll see a skyline filled with lights. You can also go back in time to catch up on news headlines you may have missed.

The updated operating system adds a handful of features just five months after Apple launched the Apple Watch.

All you need to do is open up the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, open the My Watch tab and click General.

Reboot the Apple Watch by holding both the Digital Crown and the side button down for 10 seconds. The first I’m aware of outside of Apple’s Weather and Stocks apps is PCalc, but you’ll still need an iOS counterpart in addition to a native watchOS app. Native apps are available for better performance, not necessarily “de-cluttering” your iPhone. Now when while resetting the new OS requires Apple ID and password thus making them useless even if stolen. However, the day of the slated release, Apple told TechCrunch: “We have discovered a bug in development of watchOS 2 that is taking a bit longer to fix than we expected”. In particular, app developers can now build native apps and take advantage of all the sensors with watchOS 2.

Now at the bottom of each email, you will be given the option to reply or reply all. It makes a fun feature…even more fun. Passbook gets replaced by Wallet, now that the Apple Pay payment service is becoming a bigger part of Apple’s ambitions.

Transit lets you combine more kinds of transportation in a single trip. These videos match the time of day as well, so you’ll only see the city-at-night images when darkness falls. And you can get walking directions to and from your stop. The Apple Watch will show the update screen with a circular progress indicator.

Enabling an “average pace” feature in the “Workout” section of the Apple Watch app on iPhone creates a median pace for your activity level during exercise, which will be saved to iCloud for use in other apps.
