Also, just whilst I'm moaning. I see a lot of people say that these things are unavoidable and that Samsung aren't perfect. Well those people know nothing about software development, and that is the problem here.
At no point, should Samsung be pushing live, auto-updates to peoples £400~ watches that stops them working. There are well defined methods to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Take Windows for example, you have different branches of updates you can subscribe to, if you want bleeding edge stuff that regularly breaks, that's your call, but by default you should get the stable branch, that's not only had automated unit tests run against it, but also weeks if not months of real world testing, done by real humans against it.
Thing is, everyone wants everything today, with no delays, and if Samsung implemented something like the above, they could make both camps of people happy, people who like their nice expensive watch to work as advertised *all* of the time, and those that want it doing crazy new things every other week.
Samsung, please take note. In the EU, if a device is not fit for purpose, i.e. does not work as advertised, without any fault of the user, within the first 3 years you can get it refunded, by law. My watch isn't a play ground for your awful developers.
