Apple Seeds First Beta of watchOS 10.3 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming watchOS 10.3 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming a day after the launch of watchOS 10.2.

To install the ‌watchOS 10.3‌ update, developers will need to open the Apple Watch app, go to the Software Update section under "General" in Settings, and toggle on the watchOS 10 Developer Beta. An Apple ID linked to a developer account is required.

Once beta updates have been activated, watchOS 10.3 can be downloaded under the same Software Update section. To install software, an Apple Watch needs to have 50 percent battery life and it must be placed on an Apple Watch charger.

There's no word yet on the new features that might be included in watchOS 10.3, but we'll update this article if anything new is found in the first beta.

Maybe we will get Snoopy dressed as Santa for the holiday season.

Does this beta fix the issue where when sliding to change faces, the new face shows the wrong time for a second or so before updating to the correct time?

No, not yet unfortunately.

No, not yet unfortunately.

That's too bad, especially since it wasn't an issue under WatchOS 9.

How about fixing ghe battery chewing issue? Watch 5 has been dreadful. Runs out 25% faster than it did under 9.

Updated phone yesterday and perhaps there's been a slight improvment.
Will monitor...

Does raise to activate Siri work again? Been broken since 10.0.

Still swiping up to get the control center only to get whatever that is that swipes up and then annoyingly pressing the side button to press the ding ding button to ping my iPhone.
Meanwhile learning new swear words while visiting my mom after updating her watch etc.. who is also swiping up to find her phone for the twentieth time that day. I wish Apple would make it an option maybe when the side button starts getting broken because we are over using it….
