I have the beta profile on my watch... and it downloaded and installed via my phone - said it was the GM... 13S343 is the build...

I'm installing it at this very moment before I head jump in the shower and head out the door. Beta 5 was awesome on my Watch and I expect the GM to be likewise.

terrible battery life!!!!!

75% battery with normal usage all day. Battery was excellent on Beta 5 and just as good if not better now.

It's always better to un-pair and re-pair your watch to your phone if you find battery issues. Also have a look at what apps you have running.

I'm on GM IOS 9 too (if that matters?)

Nope. It's been 2 hours since since installing and putting it on my wrist, and my battery is still at 100%.

79% off the charger for 8 hours in an area with almost no reception. Seems pretty good to me.

Also, it seems to tracking fitness better I think.

Battery life better for me also running watchos2 and iOS9.1 beta

Ditto on battery. Amazing on 9.1, OS 2 GM.

I'm on my 6th hour and have only dropped 10%. Wow! I have 90% remaining charge. I think it's safe to say that battery life is excellent on 'my' Watch...

I did today. Normally I have about 50% at the end of the day with last Beta, but today it gave me 10% warning late afternoon. I unpaired and repaired just now, hope it helps

I bet it will. Could be a specific app as well. If it happens again try to take out 3rd party apps / glances. to narrow it down. I have very few 3rd party apps and don't use a lot of glances. I am getting 3% per hour. This is improved over last version which was good.

I swear the simple face killed my battery in a previous release. No one here had the issue. Saw one other similar speculation on a google search.

Hope it works out.

Cheers.

Fingers crossed

Yeah, 14 and a half hours off the charger and I'm still at 60%.

Same 14 and half hours. Each beta has been getting better with the tracking via the Activity app. I'm on my feet all day working in concrete buildings with minimal AC. And multiple stories means climbing concrete stairs.

Hi guys, I just installed the GM a few hours back, I was expecting that the watchOS 2 should allow the Watch to play music trough it's own speaker, or am I wrong?

You can play music via the Watch's inbuilt speaker, from glances play some music using the remote and then go to settings and press the Airplay icon and choose Apple Watch

It doesn't work for me, i play some music from glances, the music starts from iPhone and from settings the Airplay icon it's black and i can't click on it. I have also try do it from Music App on the apple watch, i forced touch the display and chose Apple Watch but it keep saying that i have to connect a bluethoot headphones for play music via Apple Watch. Can you please help me with this situation?

I don't think so, i have tried with same wifi, with no wifi at all and disconnecting the iphone.
What about the audio recording indeed? I don't see the app but i'm pretty sure that i can record vocal note with this upgrade

Did they do anything new with the stock workout app? Specifically better GPS accuracy for outdoor running/walking?
