New in beta 3, after a workout, you now get a activity icon next to active calories so you can see your progress at a glance.

Handy. I always used to switch to the activity app to see my progress. Now I don't have to.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet. I noticed this while at home connected to wifi, but not connected to the phone for some reason, there is a cloud icon in the corner.

In beta 3, nightstand mode no longer shows battery percentage. Instead, it shows a ring similar to the battery glance without the percentage.
It's a step down I think.

I didn't notice this in previous betas, but ALL workouts now count towards your exercise goal, even slow walking. The only issue is that we still can't adjust the exercise goal itself.
I also noticed that the heart rate monitor is FUBARed inside the workout app, but works via the glance.

But that will only get you IOS 9 beta and it still won't get you the Watch O/S 2 beta... I'm not even sure you can find a link for the Watch O/S 2 beta 3 and you can't do an update from the Watch App because it will think the latest is still 1.0.1
Feel free to correct me.
This is a known issue in beta 3, check out the release notes. You can't even add new cards as it always fails.
We have to go two weeks of not using Apple pay
After I installed the Public Beta profile on my phone it did give me an option to update Apple Watch
I didn't do it though.
UPDATE: Installed public beta profile for Watch. Still shows 1.0.1 as latest version.

Can't blame you for that either.
Did you get the option to update from the Apple Watch App - General / Software Update?

Nope.. its all upto date it says
I just got that message about how this release includes the activation lock feature. Weird that I'd get the message 4 days after installing the b3 seed.
Was out all day yesterday with my watch connected to my iPhone running public beta 1
Watch on the 3rd beta
Got home with a phone dead after 16 hours
And the watch was at 5%, I used it to reply to a couple texts and searched up a few locations with siri and dismissed notifications throughout the day

Hi, both my wife and I have Apple Watch running beta 3 - prior to updating, on watch 1.01 we were able to send heart beats and drawings but since updating, these don't seem to work.
Are we alone, has anyone experienced this?
I did read that haptics was not working in the beta and I wondered if it was referring to this part of the os.

Looks like others have similar issues.

I need some help guys, my apple watch is not pairing to my iPhone at all, I even tried to pair it manually but the iPhone can't detect it, I'm running iOS9 beta 3 on both devices but ever since I unpaired my watch I just can't seem to pair it again, I restarted both devices and even reset the watch but nothing is working ;(((((
