Confirmed -- good catch.Anyone else having problems getting beats 1 to play when you select it from the music app on the watch. Keep getting an error on my iPhone stating "Unable to start station, there was a problem starting the station. Try again later".
Looks like its launching an incorrect feed. When I look in Music on my phone, the recently played list shows "Beats One" with a different logo from the properly working "Beats 1" below it. The weird "Beats One" one doesn't work from my phone and I get that same error.
I'll file a bug.

I'm not sure if the earlier betas had this, but when you use time travel, handoff shows the calendar icon on your other devices.
Looks like they must have changed the name from Beats One to Beats 1 fairly late in the process.
Probably just after someone pointed out that logo reads like "Bone".
Just noticed that in the Alarm app, it now shows checkmarks when you select multiple days in the 'repeat' section. I don't know if this was in v1.0 but this definitely was broken in v2.0 beta 1 and 2. You could select the days but they wouldn't show any checkmarks so it was a little hard to tell which ones you selected.
You are correct. Issue I had this morning was the alarm was silent. I woke up after the alarm should have gone off but heard nothing. In the top right complication where the alarm time would normally be there was a countdown time, as if I had pressed "Snooze". Later on when I looked I had the Dismiss / Snooze screen displayed but again no sounds.
Yep, had the same thing. Temporarily disable Messages on your iPhone then re-enable it after the watch has finished pairing.
So far so good..
Location is working for weather
getting all notifications (including all vibrations)
battery life is a HELL of a lot better
but i did have this problem when putting the watch on the charger (original charger that came in the box with the watch)

I installed beta 3 last night and when I took the watch off the charger this morning, it had a message on the display that it now supports activation lock. Did I miss this in b2 or is this a new feature?
In beta 3, the alarm sound in nightstand mode has been tweaked.
Additionally, the time now changes to an orange color when the alarm is ringing instead of the usual green.

I have the same problem too. I set my alarm and nothing happened. Looked at my watch and it showed it went off and if I should snooze or turn off. Set it up several times today and same problem. Tried reboot and all that. Nothing.

watchOS 2 question: Can apps "run in the background" where they would be the default view when you look at the watch (similar to the current exercise app)? I'm thinking of things like run apps, GPS apps, music apps, etc. Running app is really the one I care about the most.
(Yes, I know you can change the default to "last viewed app" but I don't want that)

Different issues for me. Watch face is no longer responsive. Doesn't show the clock when I raise my arm. It pretty much isn't working at all right now.
Activation lock wasn't included in either previous beta, theres also a new setting in the watch app, under Apple Watch there's now the option to mark as missing.
Apparently the Haptic engine is supposed to be disabled in this seed (though others are reporting getting vibrations). Maybe thats what happened here.
Entirely? I am getting the haptic notifications on everything, more reliably than every other beta so far. IMO this is a very solid beta.
Not sure if this issue is only in beta 3, but all my photos don't sync. It pulls around 20 through then the rest are grey squares.
What's the fix to get past the "installation paused" screen to install OS beta 3? My watch is on the charger and it keeps saying to put it on said charger. Lol
I had similar issues. I just kept restarting phone/watch and I kept the watch off the charger until it asked me to place it on the charger.
Ahh. And that worked for you? Did you get bit with the Apple ID sign in error also? I'm wondering if beta 3 fixes that.
Yes you've just got to keep at it. In fact I also reinstalled the second profile (I already had it downloaded and thought I'd try it) and maybe that helped.
I didn't have that issue myself. After the hassle of the charger/passcode problem everything went well and this beta has been running very well since.
