The Apple Watch app allows extensive configuration. This is just as well, because it would be too onerous if done from the watch face. The effect is also very pretty: once configured, it’s ready for you to use immediately.
My watch is at last configured, and free from the continued need to use the iPhone. All that is required is to keep the two on the same Wi-Fi network. Tomorrow I will explore the apps from the watch itself, in depth. My first major comments and warnings to potential buyers are: Reserve power mode is inaccessible. Hardly surprising, of course, but still a disappointment. Siri on the watch is apparently not exclusive from the phone; the contacts are synced from your phone, so Siri must be on on your phone too. That means I can’t use it, because I can’t leak contacts to Apple. The wrist-raise detection is way too sensitive. I turned off announcements in Accessibility settings. It doesn’t affect the display, but you can’t turn off wrist detection completely without disrupting Apple Pay, so it’s as good as it’s going to get.
