We tend to be asked a lot of software features so here's somewhere for you to voice your suggestions.
For example, we were recently asked this:
@blocks is it possible for the watch to notify you if you're too far away from your phone say if you left it lying around, if so is it possible to make it adjustable say from few feet and the seconds/ minutes before it says you have left your phone behind or something

For when you lose your phone,
I was thinking that it would be handy to utilize GPS as a "find my phone," feature, but if that is too extensive we could just use a "hot/cold" feature in which the phone could output a signal of some frequency that the watch can track the strength of. So if you know that you lost it in your house, you could use this "hot/cold" system to track down your phone. As you get closer, the signal gets stronger until you find the source, your phone.

Just an idea!

I would like to see a programmable physical button on the core itself. I have gotten used to using a programable miKey on my device which plugs into the headphone jack and can be programmed for up to 9 press/longpress combinations. I would like to have the same capability with a button on the core. It could open apps, interact with modules, toggle settings, etc. But the Phase 2 programmable button module is basically the same thing. I just wouldn't want to use up wrist space if not necessary..

As per what the team said on KS on January 7th, the current design of BLOCKS has been finalized for manufacturing, so no changes until a version 2.0 of the current Amoled Core or a totally new kind of Core (e-ink, etc.). By the way, something like adding a physical button should belong to the hardware section. No hard feelings, just telling you

By the way, a very last minute idea that just came to me. I consider the gesture of rotating a watch bezel to adjust it quite natural, at least for those used to chronographs (like me). Functions that require small increments (like increasing or decreasing volume, brightness, etc.), might be better controlled by rotating the finger circularly on the screen (like the old iPod wheel) rather than sliding it horizontally or vertically.

For me, I'm most interested in Notifications from my phone. I know many apps provide support for Android wear notifications, however as I understand it they will not be compatible with blocks. Some software companies which may be worth getting onboard with blocks though are like PushBullet and as mentioned elsewhere, IFTTT.

The Samsung Gear S2 has something like that, had the opportunity to try it out for a couple of weeks and its awesome. While I can't imagine a hardware change can take place right now some sort software idea could be very useful.

The Samsung rotating bezel tech is patented, so it's not going to happen.

I've asked for a magnetic charging dock a lot of times on the KS comments section, I really hope you guys can come up with something regarding this.

True, but they could maybe have a software version like a poster above said.

Ability to track runs with Nike+!

The most important for me related with software is
1. Get Update & support for any version of core later on..
2. Have nice user interface, smooth and no lag.
3. Have any tracking activity from all the devices until right now and we can control it whether we using or not.
4. Quick detected with any device without lost connection every time and we must reconnect again
5. No Boot loop..
6. have many watch Faces and we can change anytime we want or you can do modification one by one manually
7. keep create simple interface and we can choose using theme for watch later on. Also i like bubble icon..
