Re: WatchOS Dev Beta 4 is Now Available

What will the process be of switching over to gold from the developer beta when it’s publicly released?

There will be no change.

There will be no change.

Will I have to remove the profile?

Only to install a new profile for further betas, or just remove it to stay on official builds.

7 hours off charger from updating, 41% battery lost. Seems like great battery life.

I’m getting all new hourly heart rate in the graph. Hopefully your heart beats again once you get beta 4 installed.

My cardio app now works w new beta, graph and all.

It took me 5 restores and a change of location (physically, I went to work) and 5 hours to restore (I have low signal at work).

But I’m finally running beta 4, finally.

Yesssss!!!
My heart started beating again after 12 days. I feel rejuvenated.

No luck getting it to install or even find watch to install. Tried for 4+ hours last evening..... Puts Apple watch in drawer..........

It’s a pain, I don’t know what happened with iOS 11 and watchOS 4, but it can be done. I’m pretty sure it’s more watchOS 4 than iOS 11. Luckily it went smoothly for me. I’m hoping it’s all good with beta 4 now.

That’s crazy. It took me a few tries, but I got it to take. It was probably less than an hour, but still too long for what I think it should have taken. Having said that, once installed, the 
Watch is performing excellently for me...

Try another wifi, restore your watch as new and immediately install the profile, restart both Watch and iPhone and try again.

It took me 5 restores and my work wifi to get the update done.

Reading this stuff makes me glad I didn’t load the watch betas. I read the threads every release for the watch to see if things are ironed out and they are not. So I pass again.

Once installed, it’s not a problem, but man, upgrading watchOS has become a pain. Initially, the process went smoothly with the exception of being time consuming. Now, however, it takes several attempts just to get the process initiated.

Yeah that I don’t have the patience for. I don’t mind waiting until the install issues are ironed out.

Ya I have to keep slapping my self. Keep Watch in drawer for a while.... And staying on 10.3.3 as it's solid as a rock. Not seeing Frame drops nor any other issues.

I have to just be honest with myself and quit jumping on Beta's. I actually might stay on 10.3.3 until the new iPhone is released. But then I have no choice.....

Yeah phone you can easily downgrade. So it’s no big deal to jump on the betas. But the watch is a different story. Can only downgrade by sending it to Apple. That, I have no interest in. I’ll likely stay on official watch release until it goes to GM. Just don’t need that headache.

11 hrs + 15 mins. with 57% battery life remaining and that’s with a good deal of notifications today.

Re: WatchOS Dev Beta 4

Battery life feels good so far, notifications are coming through strong and timely, unlike the last three betas...
