I updated to ios 9 beta 3 first, then to WatchOS3 (all from Developer site). No issues at all. The new WatchOS seems to work seemlessly. Even the former complication issues / hangups (stocks, weather) seem to be resolved.

I agree, it's running smooth as butter!

Yeah, I decided to try holding the crown and power button simultaneously. It turned on, went to download dial and reset itself. I had to re pair to my iPhone and reinstall all my apps, the works. That was this morning, after a very short time my screen became unresponsive, I had to tap the crown and wait a few seconds for the screen to turn on and I couldn't interact with it. Great. So again I reset holding crown and power button simultaneously. Now so far, it is smooth and working better than ever. I think the exercise circle is working better too ha ha. I am on my feet literally all day at work and it has been telling me that I've had 0-1 minute(s) of exercise. Today though by lunch it says 15 minutes.

You might need to unpair the watch again, delete the profile from your phone, then set it up as a new watch (don't restore from backup). Whatever bug or glitch exists should go away. I had something similar happen when updating from watch beta 1 to beta 2 and that process cleared it all up.

I'll try that if it happens again, so far after the second reset it seems to be stable again.

Thanks for this info. Worked like a charm for me.

Why not just install the Watch beta 3 profile? When prompted select "install on watch". Then you might have to do a check for software update through the watch app, but it should work.

Looks like you are right on the apple pay, however , taptics are working for me. I dont have the heart rate monitor working on the workout app though. Might need to do a refresh

Same here, taptics work fine but no apple pay, heart rate monitor was fine on the workout app.

Hmm , having issues with thte heart rate sensor this morning using thr workout app, anyone else?

I think it's a UI glitch in the workout app. If you access the heart rate monitor in glances while you are working out, you can get an accurate reading. Also, the workout app is definitely registering my heart rate, because I have about the same calorie count as I usually do. It's just not showing. Hopefully a fix in beta 4.
