WatchOS 3 Dev Beta

Re: WatchOS 3

My wife can make through a day on beta 1 but because I do work outs I can barely get a day out of my watch. I hope beta 2 fixes the battery drain issue.

I'm not sure if I like the new dismiss on messages. I like how it is, however it's no longer the way I use to it. I'll get used to it.

Updated to b2. One small annoyance is that for the last few days, the weather complication is just blank.

It just shows "--" - any remedy?

which complication? Carrot? i had the same issue and had to switch to forecast bar for now. i posted it up in the Carrot app thread on macrumors so the dev can see it. other weather app complications work fine. Carrot worked without an issue on beta 1.

So far battery usage on beta 2 is normal. Performance is so-so. Some basic functions are laggy. Siri animation lags big time. Activity analog watch face occasionally corrupts the visuals. Thats all I found so far.

My battery may be slightly better than beta 1. Still horrible overall compared to 2.2.1.

You never know. In a day or so I might say the same. Today is the first full day on a charge so still learning on how bad this battery for beta 2 is. But it's far from stellar. I would think by beta 3 we should start seeing it even out.

Yes I agree. I'll see how tomorrow goes

On 2.2.1, I could go 18 hours of the charge and have 50%. 45 on a bad day. Right now in 12 hours off the charge and I'm at 37%. No Bueno.

Yes!! My battery life was equivalent to yours on 2.2.1 so this has me concerned. I'll make it though, I have no choice now!

No, stock weather! Annoying.

Re: WatchOS 3

So far on watchOS 3 beta 2 I have had watch faces corrupt (Watch was reflecting one set of faces, and the Watch App another set). Hard reset fixed it. I also had display corruption (colors, etc.). Activity tracking is not working properly. It is logging activity even when there is none. It logged a standing goal for me while I was sitting. It logged 3.6km of walking, yet I was in front of the computer all day with some minor walking here and there. Odd lag sometimes and occasional non-responsiveness to touch input. Mickey and Minnie do not speak the time even when the option is enabled.

Re: WatchOS 3

So far on watchOS 3 and iOS 10 beta 2 the battery life of the watch is good for a day for my use but the battery life of my iPhone 6s is definitely shorten...
But nothing dramatic.
I love watchOS 3 !!! It's really like a new watch !
There still a lot of bug and lag but I'm glad I did installed it on my watch.
And personalized it with the free "Monogram Plus" complications App !

Re: WatchOS 3

Update: stock weather app works again! Was getting really frustrated.

Battery life has dipped a bit - but still get through a day of use.

Developers portal, I would assume. Is that where you got the 1st beta?
