It seems many app designers makes the mistake of treating the watch as an phone strapped to your wrist instead of a device with a different use case.

Also it seems Apple has missed the mark one some fairly common use cases, like having sleep & don't disturb modes, or being able to dismiss multiple notifications.

I was thinking about watches and realized one mode I'd like is that only show notifications when prompted (like a force push). Then you could make notifications pull rather than push UX wise and don't have to be interrupted. Good for dinners etc

The iWatch does have a do not disturb mode. It also has a mute mode and you can control the haptic effect. These settings are easy to access. That writer is clueless. I have used the watch for a couple days and I'm really happy with it.
