Hopefully this wont brick the watch when installing. Can anyone confirm that 3.1.3 installs without issues?
Updated to 3.1.3 without incident. Seems quicker. Also got a request from an app to send notifications which I hadn't seen before.
My watch is series 2 watchos 3.1
I also have this problem, wonder if this is bug or hatdware problem.
Can anyone test this issue? By go to setting menu and haptic setting, if you press increase haptic strenght the watch will not vibrate but after several time pressing the feedback is back.
thank you...
I just picked up a AW2 - on 3.1 and it didn't see my backup on my 3.1.1 device! (too new) so I wound up installing 3.1.3 beta on the new watch, just so it saw my backup from today. Not sure if that mattered, but it's all good.
Anyone know what the 3.1.3 beta does for battery life?

I actually think my series 0 watches are running better on 3.1.3 beta than any other version of watchOS 3. A lot of the stuttering animations are now gone. It seems faster overall and less graphical glitches. Battery is the same as any beta I've tried. Put my Watch on at 8am, it's now 2.10pm and it's at 89%.
Would love to try that, but now that I'm out of warranty, my desire to test the betas will take a back seat to not bricking my Watch (no matter how small the chance is!). Suspect we'll see release on Tues-Weds though (especially if rumors of iOS 10.3 beta 1 dropping on 1/10 are accurate).
Whenever you quote battery life you also need to specify the case size (38mm or 42mm). Assuming you're 42mm.
38mm actually. But I didn't quote battery life. I said I'm having the same experience of running better, smoother, battery life same as other betas. I'm not a heavy user. Mostly messages, weather, and the odd time using the home app to turn lights on/off. It's been on my wrist for 3 hrs now and says 97%. I usually take the watch off near the end of the night with more than 40% (17-18 hrs on), of which I'm very happy with.
Sorry I didn't mean "you" specifically! I can see how that might have sounded impudent! Should have said "we".
I find my S0 varies massively from day to day. Most days I'm down to 15% by the end (unless I charge it midway), but I do use the workout apps quite a bit.
No worries, I was confused and later thought maybe it was because I quoted the other poster who mention his battery life as wellSorry I didn't mean "you" specifically! I can see how that might have sounded impudent! Should have said "we".

3.1.1 is the latest release version. They skipped 3.1.2 and the current beta is 3.1.3. Are you on Series 2? That may be why you're showing 3.1 as the latest, as I recall they yanked 3.1.1 due to bricking issues.
