Apple Releases watchOS 6 With Dedicated App Store, New Watch Faces, Noise Monitoring App and More

I'm not sure if it's a bug but over night I use the airplane and theater mode on my watch to safe battery during sleep. Since watchOS6 the watch is still connected by bluetooth which I can see in the control centre (green iPhone symbol). For my understanding and how I remember on watchOS5, airplane mode is disconnecting all connection. Am I right?
 
really disappointed with the new watch faces available with watchos6. The cute one with white background and the one in the middle from the first picture of this thread are not there. I have version 3, and do not see the reason why to buy version 5 only for newer watch faces

Looks like almost nothing is supported on the Series 3 watch... no sleep app, no noise app, and only 2 numeric faces... I really feel like at least several features should have been possible to support on the series 3... pretty bummed with the watchOS update especially as long as it took to download/install. iOS13 is nice at least so far.

Thanks for saving me the time downloading it on my series 3.

Look for the yellow icon with the ear, or do it with Siri, "open noise"...

Did they actually remove the Watch App Store from the iPhone app? I mean, it’s a nice idea to have a working app store app on the watch itself, kind of like running Doom on the watch is a nice idea but it’s not like it’s easy or fun to use. I guess it’s back to searching on the regular app store and perusing each app separately to see if it offers a watch app.

Jesus, you’d think they had learned by now.

Yep... if you go to the App Store tab in the iPhone App it tells you it is now on the Apple Watch. I too prefer to old way.

I solved it by my self. If you use the airplane mode, bluetooth is not automatically off! During AP-mode disable the bluetooth in the settings of the watch. After that, it should always disable bluetooth when you use AP-mode. If you end the AP-mode, bluetooth will connect as usual.

I'm not sure, if this is a typical watchOS6 bug but I can't remember having the same problem with watchOS5.

Is it in a category on the normal App Store? Mine has it but I am series 1.

Apps tab. Scroll down to categories and then I have Apple Watch apps

Thanks, that does help a little but it still doesn’t make searching only for watch apps possible.
 
it takes 15-30mins for the language pack to download. I had the same issue, played 2 rounds of PUBG. picked up watch and she spoke the time (not to confuse tap to speak time, I actually have that off, I'll never use that {unless Micky mouse face lol}
