I have never seen the point in time travel to be honest it just a pointless thing that apple have put in you only want to know the current time to be honest I never bother with time travel

I use it fairly often, usually scrolling forward to get a glance at whats in my calendar and see what the weather temp and conditions are like for the rest of the day, since the Weather app is so much worse in watchOS 3 than 2.

Seriously, scrolling in Weather shouldn't be the action that changes the city. I usually care more about weather in one city for a number of days, than a number of cities for one day

I am notice that on watch os3 the battery is not great at all worse if anything I haven't no one on my watch today down to 85% already yesterday never used the watch for texting much had 75% left after all day use
 
I was pretty concerned with doing the upgrade to watch OS3, battery life issues, incompatibility issues and all and reports of the same, and then not being able to revert back if it was un-acceptable.

but, I have to say its pretty solid (beta 3). Battery life seems fine (although I haven't actually done a workout yet) but I'm at 89% battery after having used it more than usual for the past six hours today, so I'm pretty certain I can make it at least a day if not the two that I am used to. Turned off SOS out of the gates and some other lesser things.

pretty much everything works although just a tad laggy but the stock STOCKS app doesn't seem to want to updated in real time.

Spot on on both points

I agree they have totally stuffed weather (and stocks) in watch os 3. What was wrong before? The new system is so counter intuitive. Plus it's now harder to see hour by hour temperature or chance of rain as the only way now that I can see you can change these options is via force touch menu.

Agree totally on time travel as well.
 
Sometimes I have to reset the watch for things and it takes about 3 minutes to come off apple logo but it has to be charging to come off apple logo too if it is on the stand it wont come off apple logo and also it never comes back
To the custom face you had on previously you have to go in and change it yourself "which is annoying" I have seen much
Difference from beta 2 then beta 3 nothing writing home about personally.


The apple logo bug should of been fixed in beta 3 we should of maybe seen a slight increase
In battery life and also the dock items should be working more snapper then they have been
