Is there a way to get the setting in the Apple Watch application under 'Clock' to get the 24-Hour Time toggle? I can get the phone's version by using

let formatString: NSString = NSDateFormatter.dateFormatFromTemplate("jj", options: 0, locale: NSLocale.currentLocale())!

var hasAMPM = formatString.containsString("a")

but that doesn't give me what specifically the watch has set? I see the top right time changes correctly and the Calendar app on watch uses it too, but cannot find how to use in my app to stay consistent with the setting.

        NSDateFormatter* df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
        df.locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
        if ([df.AMSymbol ...

That didn't do it...always returned 'AM'.
