Intro to watchOS 2

The operating system for Apple Watch now has a proper name and struts some brand new tricks. If you learned how to use WatchKit over the past year, you might find it fun that apps now can run on the Watch hardware and take advantage of the sensors. We’ll step through real world use cases of apps written for watchOS 2 and answer questions about what is possible.

Ben Morrow is a developer, author, and hackathon organizer. With the Apple Watch community, he's been working on apps made for the new device platform. Find more video and code at http://happy.watch­
