I had to unpair/pair my watch due to battery draining issues with watchOS7 (long thread in the AW forum), someone there posted this link and that procedure worked just now on my iMac running Mojave, might do it on my MBP with Beta 8 later

Edit: just set it up on the beta, had to do it twice, didn't work on first try
Hello guys, I have a MBP 2019 (16 inch). Currently is running 10.15.6.
May I know if it is stable enough to install Big Sur Beta 8??
Anyone has install it on MBP 16"?
If yes, would it be recommended to upgrade or clean install?
Besides, if using Big Sur Beta 8, is there any long booting time issue??
Thanks for advise.....

system preferences are still very slow...anyone with the same issue?
Negative. I was not using AdGuard nor any other extension at all when PB6 broke videos for me.
Nothing’s been announced?
Also they don’t normally put any obvious details in the dev/public versions.
The dev/public versions are not different usually... they are still basically public seeds so anyone can go through them

I had similar issue and resolved it on beta 7, unpaired Apple Watch, logged iPhone out of iCloud, repaired and logged iPhone back into iCloud and it was fixed.I have been able to with the first 3 public betas, jut finished installing Beta8 ...

found solution posted somewhere, didn’t even have to reboot Mac. Hope this helps, let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll find the exact post that I followed.
Would love to learn how you do that. My inboxI can choose By: I have my set to Date Received but I've played around and dont see groupings by today, yesterday, last week, last month.. would love that!! Any tips, please share.
Yeah - mine was working fine after updating to the Big Sur and watchOS betas until I unpaired and re-paired my series 5 with my iPhone 11 to try and fix a battery drain in one of the watchOS betas and now it won’t reconnect for unlock with apple watch. Sits there thinking for about 30 seconds before telling me it can’t communicate with the watch.
iPhone 11 is on iOS 14 release version, watch is on watchOS 7 release version and Mac (late 2013 MacBook Pro) is on big sur beta 8 but also had this issue on beta 6 and 7.

This just worked for me in beta 8 with a series 5 on watchOS 7 as I too lost this functionality by unpairing / re-pairing my watch to try and fix battery issues in one of the watchOS 7 betas. First attempt failed almost instantly, second attempt enabled it almost instantly. Before this I'd been sitting watching it think for about 30 seconds before it failed.

Pretty good performance, 4K HDR/60hz at 13% CPU usage on a MacBook:
All I need now is Apple to fix the watchdogd kernel panic on reboot introduced in Catalina and the OS might even be desirable.

lol yep, it's like Linux icons from the 90s.
btw, with iCloud Drive Desktop/Documents enabled, have you noticed that the Documents and Desktop folders are no longer in the home (~) folder in Big Sur?
I can boot to login but no apple logo with eGpu. Do not bootcamp.
oh sorry! I mean in Finder, in terminal I see both, but in Finder there are "hidden" folders, in Catalina it wasn't like that. The folders showed in Finder.
Now my home folder looks like this, no Documents or Desktop, in Catalina, finder showed both in iCloud AND in Finder home.
Same for you?
Does anyone know the terminal command to download the latest update? I already have the previous update downloaded in /System/Library/Updates (which I didn't install), but I want to download the latest PB and install that.
I've unenrolled / enrolled but the old update folder remains, also can't be bothered to boot into recovery, disable SIP to be able to delete the aforementioned update folder etc, if there is another, simpler way?
Thanks

Wow, yes! Same for me. Now they are hidden.
Interesting update, apparently so that people do not get confused where is which folder, (it was as 2 the same folders on different places as you correctly noted). But I don't know a single person who was confused about that in Catalina

Thanks for checking my friend! And I agree, it was handy in Catalina.
