** Watch OS3 **

[Feek]

I'm stuck in a hotel with such poor wifi that it says it's going to take eight hours to download. Anyone got it yet, thoughts, comments, feedback?

Meh, the new watch faces are ok. It's a little bit quicker opening smaller apps, but some of my apps still take a few seconds. It's not a big user facing update, put it that way

You're supposed to add your favourite apps to the dock and then they should open much faster.

The thing I use the most on the watch after notifications is playing and pausing my podcasts when the phone is in my kitchen. Used to use glances to swipe up and pause, now it seems longer with the dock. Any shortcuts?

I'm in complete disagreement with Steedie, I've got to say. This is a massive improvement over watchOS 1 and 2.

The dock is great and apps open a lot quicker. It's surprising just how big of a performance boost they've managed with the same hardware. Apps are finally useable on my Apple Watch.

I'm really liking the new workout app - The ability to show five metrics on one screen while I'm walking or cycling is rather nice. The whole thing just seems nicer to use overall and will be even nicer at the end of the day today when my new watch arrives

No native podcast app is a bit of an omission.
