Yes, the Toy Story Watch is now available. I tried to “attach” the one I have, but the Tapatalk Pro app won’t let me at this time...Ugh!

Ah, man. Now the screenshot I uploaded via mobile Safari isn’t displaying via the Tapatalk Pro app unless I select “web view”...UGH!

After many tries, retries and restarts I finally managed to update my Watch.
This never happened to me before, but everything is okay now.

I didn’t run into any problems updating, but dang, the process took forever.

The Toy Story watchface with Buzz Lightyear is pretty cool. Tapping the watch face to save tha different reactions is nice. I;lol see how long I keep it installed before reverting back to my beloved utility watch face....:)

How is Bet 2 battery life? I updated two nights ago and yesterday watch ran out of battery in 3.5 hours, that didn't happened on beta 1. I did notice that the list cation indicator is always showing on control center. Not sure if the watch is actively checking on that.Series 0 watch.

Yep, it’s terrible. Mine also ran out around 3-4 hours of usage. Flight mode is also not working. My watch stays connected to my iPhone despite the fact that the red disconnected icon shows on the watch.
I can’t wait for beta 3 to come.

My Watch has been off the charger for 12 hours and I have 50% battery charge left at the time of this post.

I’ll report my own official findings tomorrow, but according to Reddit, going to the Apple Watch app, scrolling down to Workout, then turning off Detect Gym Equipment is supposed to fix the battery drain issue.

I can say that nothing has fixed the battery drain issue and has basically rendered my watch useless. Looks like it’s going into a drawer till the next update, grrrrr

A restore helped for me.
I barely could get 4 hours of usage before and after restoring and setting up as new it’s back to normal again.
