Has anyone had problems with their Apple Watch shutting down with a still good charge on iOS 9.3 Beta? The last two days mine shut down until I could get to a charger even though the battery was still strong. The coincidence if my just updating to the beta software is too great.

OK thanks for responding. Guess I'll just wait till March lol
I'll be installing beta 3 this evening when I get home. Siri improvement is the only thing I would want to see improve. Had a few more instances where it wouldn't respond with beta 2.

[doublepost=1454966253][/doublepost]I am running WatchOS 2.1 and iOS 9.3 Beta 2. No issues with charge on watch. Used it for 14 hours yesterday and had 44% remaining at bedtime. It has way exceeded my expectations in this regard.

I would try unpairing/re-pairing your watch. I had a sudden drain a few weeks ago and this fixed it. Prior to doing this, you could try a reset.

Ok cool, please let me know what you think of beta 3 when you get a chance.
