The beomusic app got updated, anyone with an apple-watch?

Nice! I do have an apple watch but don't have a compatible device to control. :(

B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.
BeoNut since '75
It is available now, installed it and tested shortly with my A9.
Looks like SW developers for B&O have zero time available for testing. Works erraticaly WHEN it works, also can't choose sound source (TuneIn/Deezer/iOS Library) or at least the UI is so intuitive I failed.
However, I can clearly see potential - it is very convenient to have at least basic controls on your wrist.

This, unfortunately seems to be a common theme and finding. It's very disappointing for great products and ideas be let down by erratic functionality because of poor software.

@elephant: if you choose your Essence Mk2 as a device, can you then also choose music source ie. TuneIn/Deezer/Spotify etc?

Thanks a lot elephant, I believe it is clear now.
So, it was not intended at all (at least in first version of AppleWatch app) to be able to select music source. That's why I couldn't find one.
You select which music you'd like to play via BeoMusic on iPhone/iPad and then just turn volume up/down, and use pause/play/next/previous commands on what you play currently.
Well, it's a solid start and certainly practical like I said before.
Ideally, B&O complication would become available one day for more busy/data oriented faces. Also, would be cool to be able to choose music source.
And like in your case, I was not able either to get covers nor track list (but that I now anticipate was not part of the original plan for v1 app anyway).
Hi,
they should have focused on the bugs in the BeoMusic-App instead of toying around. The BeoMusic-App for the Apple watch feels like a very early beta-version. very slow, laggy and not intuitive (for me - I guess)
It takes much longer to use the Apple watch to lower the Volume by tapping like crazy on the watchdisplay than using the Beoremote One.
Cheers Beroli

I'd love for BeoRemote to be on the Apple Watch as well.
I'd love it if they gave some love to Android as well because there are more than enough users, too!And I don't understand why most of the news only seem to be published on external sites like that shitty facebook thing instead of the companys OWN website!?
If you're not using the link converter and can see the volume slider on the screen, use the digital crown to adjust the volume level, works much better :)

Yeah, from what i can work out it looks like its due to latency issues with the Apple Watch or something (i've seen similar with other apps as well)... It looks like when you adjust the level, the slider dims down until you stop adjusting the slider and then shortly after the volume level will change.
I guess its because the watch can't continuously tell the speaker to adjust its volume level or something so the watch waits until you've stopped making changes. the iPhone app does the complete opposite though.
Once you get the hang of it, its quite handy being able to just pop back to the app when you want to skip tracks, pause music or adjust the volume but other than that it doesn't do much else.
The all standby feature from the main list of products (3D touch) is quite handy as well!
