Apple Releases watchOS 6.1.3 Update With Heart Rhythm Notification Bug Fix

YES 6.1.3 resonated with me too. Though I had an iPhone 5, so that got 6.1.4, but my 4th Gen iPad stayed on 6.1.3 until 7 (ipod touches got 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 where they stayed until I gave them away this year. Looked great though, with notable exceptions (Game Centre etc)).
I can’t install this. It tells me that I first need to update the software on my iPhone, which is impossible given that I’m on 13.3.1.
Edit - Forget that, turns out I still had a beta profile installed on the Watch app. Removed it and all is well.

Have you tried turning your iPhone off and on and trying to update from iPhone again? Also if S4 or S5, why not update directly on watch?
The fault was mine - I hadn’t noticed that I still had a beta profile installed on my Watch; I’ve removed it and it works.
To orbital-debris...
Curious as to why you oppose giving people the option to update iOS using data in addition to the forced wi-fi "option".

Turning off background refresh has doubled my battery life. I can go two or more days with little use.

I know people would pay TONS for licensed faces. Like Star Trek, or Marvel/Dc stuff.

I just know licensed and other custom faces would be a huge revenue stream. I’d love a Star Trek LCARS face or a Mondaine Swiss Railway one.

I miss wearing my Mondaine Swiss Railway watch - elegant, extremely readable, and crazily thin (6.2mm) - but I'm not sure how much I'd like an Apple Watch display version - the white background wouldn't be there all the time, it'd only really look like the canonical watch once I raised my wrist and waited a fraction of a second (this is the reason I mostly use watch faces with black backgrounds now - they always look like the watch).
If they ever come out with WatchFaceKit, I'm going to have a field day with it, designing watch faces (for my own use) to go along with my custom built home automation/weather station system at home.
I just saw this. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I haven't seen the battery drain issue happen since installing 6.1.3.
I'll keep an eye out for those analytics files, but if anything the battery life on 6.1.3 is better than anything I've had with any 6.x version so far. I've had the watch on for 5 hours today and it has only drained 2%. That's crazy.
As you can see the EU has harmonized technical aspects of medical devices, radio transmitters, etc. across the Common Market, but they haven't fully harmonized digital media and copyright. Things like music licensing still differ by country, for example, Germany has its own government-mandated royalty organization (GEMA), therefore costs and rights vary from the rest of the EU.
This is an ongoing effort, but efforts have proven to be highly controversial in that harmonization efforts have led to more restrictions on online services, (e.g. "link tax" and upload filters etc.).
While I agree with it being a complex issue, hurt by too much rule & regulation fragmentation, I do believe this is more of “too small market” problem. Most other European countries have long had Apple’s Media services available. There have been many within Iceland‘s music industry, just to name one example, that have reached out to Apple. Seemingly without any results - yet.
