Glad to contribute!

EDIT: Just like others have mentioned in the comments sections the update is still not showing up for me. My Watch app says WatchOS 4 is up to date

I was seeing that initially, but then when I disabled my VPN connection, I was able to see the update.

It’s preparing now. Hopefully battery life is improved. That’s my biggest complaint with beta 2.

Installed. Messages notifications seem to be slow coming through.

I am restoring my Watch now. Even after deleting and reinstalling the profile I had no luck with the update. Hopefully a full reset will fix it.

Update:

Hopefully at work it will see the update immediately again when I’m on wifi.

Installed update but now my watch is off by 1hr and 5 minutes really odd.

Odd indeed. Have you adjusted the time?

Took me a few tries and restarts but I got it finally to update.
Battery life seems better, for now.

After I updated, I also found that the time was off. It appeared to me that the time had been frozen at the time that the actual update completed. I had to restart my watch twice until the time was synced correctly with the phone. It appears to me that the visuals in the dock have been slightly tweaked since the update. It also appears to be slicker in terms of transitions, but this might just be me!! I will post any further changes I notice.

It’s only day one and I had to restart my watch to finish install, but battery life seems a little worse than beta 2 for me right now. After I restarted to finish install I was already at 88%, now 2 1/2 hours later I’m at 65%. I’m not sure if it’ll make the day so I’m going to charge it while at lunch.

Same with the restart. Battery life is significantly better than beta 2 for me.

After deleting the profiles from both my iPhone and Watch i did a restart, reinstalled the profiles and did another restart, I restored my Watch as new and looked for the update.
After pressing download and install I waited for the process to be done, all while the Watch was on the charger.
At the end of the process I noticed it kept hanging so I pressed the crown and home button at the same time, restarting my Watch and a little later it was up and running.
I installed the apps back, edited the watch faces as I had before and am a happy man now.

Be aware that this update is gonna take at least 2 hours of your time

Wow. Ok, I’ll give that a try

Took forever and had to restart twice. Working great now.

Observation:

I was able to update to WatchOS 4, Beta 3, but in the Watch app on my iPhone 7, under Software update, it did not say up to date, but rather "Installing..." the Beta 3 version. I rebooted the iPhone--no change. I restarted the watch--no change. The About screen gave the version 15R5321h.

Turns out that even though in iPhone Settings, Bluetooth it said it was connected, it wasn't. I pressed the circle "i", and when I went back, it said "not connected." I then re-paired the watch, and now it says "Up to date" on the Watch app, and the watch is working very well. Whew! I was nervous about the whole update, which took 2 hours and a couple of retries to install. I thought the watch was going to be bricked, with no way to recover.

What a great improvement over WatchOS 3!

Feedback threads like this are great. I thought about loading it but after reading this, I'll pass. My watch OS 3.2.2 has no issues. Watch beta is the only one I ever hesitate to install since it's not downgradable. Well it is but you have to ship it to Apple. I'll wait until beta 4 and read all of your feedback first.

So far beta 3 is performing way better than the 2 previous betas.

If you were to update to it, you wouldn’t regret it.
