Using WCSession to Send Data

import WatchConnectivity

let session = WCSession.defaultSession()
session.delegate = self
session.activateSession()

var context = session.applicationContext
context["key"] = value

do {
    try session.updateApplicationContext(context)
} catch let error {
    print(error)
}

Using WCSessionDelegate to Receive Data

func session(session: WCSession, didReceiveApplicationContext applicationContext: [String : AnyObject]) {
    if let arrayOfDictionaries = applicationContext["key"] as? [[String : AnyObject]] {

    }
}

Updating WKInterfacePicker

@IBOutlet weak var picker : WKInterfacePicker?

var items : [WKPickerItem] = []

for beer in beers {
    let item = WKPickerItem()
    item.title = beer.title

    if let image = beer.image {
        item.contentImage = WKImage(image: image)
    }

    items.append(item)
}

self.picker?.setItems(items)

Responding to Picker Changes

@IBAction func pickerDidChange(index: Int) {
    let beer = beers[index]
    currentBeer = beer
}
