Apple Seeds First Beta of watchOS 7.1 to Developers

[MrGimper]

So will all this stuff possibly get fixed in a further BETA release?? Or are we just stuck out now?

I expect they will, hopefully in the next 7.1 beta.

This really pisses me off.

My watch auto-updated because I forgot to remove the beta profile and I lost all the new watch faces.

I then thought updating my iPhone to 14.2 might be required to fix that but no didn’t make any difference.

Now I’m going to have to wait for the next beta version and hope it fixes it.

My Series 3 has been randomly rebooting throughout the day (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/series-3-rebooting-after-watchos-7.2255209/) <--- like this through all the betas. I was dismayed when GM still had the bug present. Full resets and setting up fresh or anything of the like isn't helping. Anyone in the same boat on 7.1? I'll go beta again just to get stability back. Would have loved to have gotten stability back with GM, but here we are....

THIS! Once I get an answer on if this is fixed, I'm updating right away.

Most annoying bug I've ever dealt with.

I’ve also noticed that Announce Messages with Siri is missing from 7.1 as well. Or at least I don’t see it anymore.

Hopefully they fix battery life issues.

Usually I'd get 18 hours and have 30% left. With 7 today, hit 10% at about 10.5 hours

I turned off the hand washing reminder and that helped my battery life. Not completely but it helped.

For anyone experiencing poor battery life after installing Watch OS 7, I was having the same issue until I performed an unpair with reset and repaired with my iPhone. Now getting excellent battery life again.

If that was right after installing the update, keep in mind that the Watch (along with iPhones) take some time to reminded a lot of stuff after installing a new OS. Check it again after some days have passed (many install an update and then check performance immediately afterwards, and see it lower, and blame the new version of the OS for being slower).
