These changes make great sense.<p>The watch should mirror iOS for UI / UX in as many ways as possible to make the learning curve as low as possible. Of the people I know that own an Apple Watch (after I purchased mine), all of them have asked me "how do I do x", from as simple as changing the color of the clock, to how to play music, to how to silence it.<p>If it followed iOS UI more closely, these problems / questions may not exist.
