Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of New watchOS 4 Operating System to Developers

Please, oh please let WatchOS 5 (or 4.x) have complications for the workout app. I'd like to see my blood sugar while working out via the Dexcom complication that I have for the watch face, but it takes a few clicks to get to it.

Maybe this is what you need...
What? Haven't seen that before.
Finally managed to update my watch just before midnight. Only took close to 10.5 hrs.
I have been struggling to sync albums from my phone to this beta. It worked fine and fast a beta or 2 ago, but this one seems to take about an hour per song, slowest process I've ever seen. I let it sync all night on the charger last night and it only transferred 15 of the 96 songs.. there must be something broken. Anyone else ran into this? Also, is there a way to go into the music app and start shuffling from all albums rather than starting a given album? It seems to do this sometimes for me when I hit the play button in the workout app music section, but I don't find any other way to do that.. must be missing something simple.
I just wondered if the Watch already does this and I had somehow missed a trick.
Thanks for the tip though, I'll pass it on.
Yeah, I thought that having the phone directly attached to Ethernet is what you needed. Just having fun with you in beta-land. (I'm there too, but only on IOS)
My calendar won't open anymore. The complication shows my next appointment, but when I tap it there is a prompt to restore the calendar from the app store. The calendar icon is on the watch, but when tapped it won't open.
Anyone else have this issue? I already filed a bug report.

Bit of a chicken and egg situation here as you'll have to wait for your gym to replace its equipment park with new (and yet released) machines.
For anyone interested, I was feeling daring yesterday and finally upgraded my Apple Watch 2 to the beta (DP4). Battery life has been spectacular today.
It initially hung up transferring a new playlist I added this morning, but after I rebooted both watch and phone, the 51 extra songs transferred fairly quickly (25 minutes?).
(The Watch was at 100% when I took it off the charger a little before 10 AM. It stills says 100% a little after 1 PM. It's been on my wrist continuously, and I've received a few notices, but I haven't done a workout or actively used any apps on it. But 3+ hours of passive use with minimal/no reported battery drain is great.)
