Is it possible to change the Apple Watch simulator locale? I want to test the localization of my watch app. I can change language on an iPhone simulator, but the watch simulator is always in English. I can't find any language settings:
505
On the simulator, open the Settings app. Navigate to General > Language & Region > iPhone Language to select a new language.
in iOS Simulator menu, go to Features -> Location -> Custom Location. There you can set the latitude and longitude and test the app accordingly. This works with mapkit and also with CLLocationManager. Save this answer.
Most certainly not possible neither via Watch Simulator UI nor iOS Simulator Watch app, but you can copy over values from iOS Simulator folder located in:
<simulator_dev_folder>/data/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
to the same file in your Watch Simulator.
Plist keys to look for:

Unfortunately it works only on Xcode 7.2, not on Xcode 7.1. There is no other known possibility.
EDIT
There is a brand new library for language and locale automate testing. It's called AutoMate. The documentation can be found here.
