hardest part about the watch beta is finding the cert to install so you can get the update lol

I haven't made an Apple Pay purchase yet but it appears to be functional again.

No issues so far. Certainly as good as 3 so far. 10% total battery use in almost 3 hours. Not bad.

I would wait if you are on 1.0.1. We need to use it for a week to figure out what's broken. I personally have no battery issues like b1. But I don't use lots of apps and glances.

Apple pay is back, so is heart rate monitor in workout app. So far its been ok on battery, but cant judge yet without a full day's use.

Haptic is back. File Transfers fixed. Siri launched from crown could show words that weren't spoken. Notes say use Hey Siri instead.

There are some code level problems mentioned that may still impact apps.

Don't know if anyone else has had this problem, after updating to os2 /4 , watch has turned it self off for no reason and when I turn it back on it won't connect to the phone , I have to turn phone off and back on ! This has happened 4 times since last night !

I did have one random watch crash/reboot opening glances (that i had just added to). But it connected to phone without problem and all the glances worked.

I have been using simple watch face and there's been talk on other forums that it has crashed for others on that face , changed it to UTILITY now , see if it crashes ! Also the activity rings are coloured on utility face !! Don't remember seeing that before !

Re: Watch OS 2 beta 4 available to developers

Been running Beta 4 now for 24-hours. Thoughts:

Runs smooth. This is the first WatchOS Beta I've run because I heard nothing but horror stories from 1-3. Battery life seems to be okay, I disconnected it around 3 with 100% batter and came home around 11:30PM with 65% left. It's still a bit off from 1.0.1, but certainly can last all day. It did crash once out of the blue but I held the 2 buttons until it rebooted and all was well, no issues with pairing it again. The time-lapse watch faces get old really quickly, and I'm sure take a toll on battery so now I'm just running my old face. Other than that, I don't see too many new things to be overly excited about WatchOS 2. I'm sure they're in there, but nothing really sticks out just yet.

I seem to be getting horrible battery life on beta 4, 1.0.1 and the first three betas I would easily be only around 50% battery after being off he charger for 14-16 hours, but on beta 4 I'm down to 10-15% battery life. I'll give it a few more days to see what it does.

Other than the battery life, how is WatchOS 2 performing for you?
