Any performance improvements in watchOS 5?

[LoveToMacRumors]

I have a series 2, it lags on occasion.
I know iOS 12 focuses heavily on performance improvements.

Looking at all the features of watchOS 5, I won't be using any. Should i not update?

Looking for the exact same feedback. Hoping this thread is bumped.

Same question from me. Anyone on GM perhaps?

Rather than starting a new thread, I'll bump this one. I am also curious how the GM (or even later betas) is performing on Series 2 watches.

I took the chance of putting the latest beta on my S2 but not the GM, yet. Battery life is quite comparable. Performance is actually slightly better. Overall, due to the fact I don’t really actually open 3rd party apps on my watch, I’m pretty satisfied OS 5. I do want to get the S3 sometime if I can find a good deal on one at some point due to the fact that it’s faster and more efficient.
