Anyone want to confirm Public Beta is out? Two hours and I've had zero luck getting the update to show on the watch or the watch app.

It’s definitely not showing up for me. My iPhone 11 PM and iPad Pro both updated right away, but the Watch 5 update isn’t showing up when I check on the Watch or Watch app on my phone.

After I did a restart on my 11 Pro Max (running iOS 14 beta 6) and my SS S4 WATCH, I'm now getting this prompt.

The hand washing home reminder is still grayed out and can’t be turned on (at least for me and a some others).
Had this problem too - turns out you need to have Significant Locations turned on! Fixed now for me. (Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services -> Significant Locations)

Thanks for the reply. It is already turned on on the watch. under Significant Locations under the watch it says no recent home visits which isn’t true. My home location is listed in contacts.

on the watch handwashing, the ask location next time option is ticked and i don’t have the ability to change it.

I'm thinking of taking the plunge. What's the consensus on stability/performance of the latest beta?

I'm on an AW3. Hold off. I've had a few reboots a day typically.
I installed just the iOS PB last night, and ever since, the watch on the public beta has gone through fits of non-response, to slow response, to reboots several times through the day and night. Suspect this will be corrected once I can get a newer PB installed on the watch.

Thanks. I think I’ll continue the wait!
