Conrad Stoll:

The App Launcher, or Honeycomb / Home Screen, wasn’t mentioned in the keynote or subsequent discussion about how users interact with Apple Watch. The subtext is clear. I don’t think Apple intends or expects people to interact with their watch by launching apps from the Honeycomb any more than we do.

And:

It’s been clear for several months that complications truly are the best app launchers. That’s why the new ability to easily swipe between watch faces is absolutely game changing for Apple Watch despite not being something I was expecting. Next to the flashy new Dock it’s an easy thing to miss, but I think it will have the biggest impact in how I interact with apps on my Apple Watch.

By far, the biggest change that needed to be made to watchOS is to improve app launch speed/responsiveness and it looks like that has been done. The second change involves the actual application launch process itself. And that’s more of a complication (sorry).

Good take by Conrad Stoll.
