iOS developer Hamza Sood has shared further screenshots of the official Apple Watch app on iOS 8.2, providing a closer look at what the companion software looks like after pairing an Apple Watch. In particular, the screenshots reveal an Apple Watch setting menu for configuring the app layout, notifications, glances, brightness and text size, sounds and haptics, individual apps, internal options, and more.

Apple Watch settings are similar to those found on iPhone, with About, Software Update and Automatic Downloads menus under General alongside options to adjust the watch orientation, accessibility, language and region, and Apple ID settings. Two toggle switches allow for Handoff and wrist detection to be enabled, the latter of which locks your Apple Watch when you're not using it to keep your information secure.

(View all)When do preorders start?
These countries are the new first world, people. If your country isn't on this list, you're basically living in the stone age.
(Personally I'm surprised Canada made it)

Err, iOS has always had a dark mode.
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Invert Colors
That's not a dark mode.
Edit: Some options like Mirroring are interesting: Select airplane mode on the iPhone -> Watch goes into airplane mode too.
The health app tracks steps without a watch. Why not give this to everyone? I also wouldn't mind more front and center health reminders.
