Oh please tell me that kind of response time can be possible again!!

Yeah, the launching times on Series 2 now actually feel a lot like what you would normally expect from a Series 3.

Thanks but unfortunately, that made it worse. Not only does Hey Siri not work but holding down the crown will start up Siri but it says that it cannot communicate. I'm unpairing it now, hopefully after I pair it again, will it work once more.

I swear, that this watch was blazing quick when I first got it but it's gotten slower and dumber with each new update.

Its unfortunate your having these issues, However next time simply turn off hey Siri on the watch and then back on before an un-pair and re-pair.
that said these are betas so issues will happen by the time the final comes out all should be working.

New MacBook and I would assume iMac etc... unlock screens

Why is siri unable to call voicemail or 901
Maybe calls aren’t allowed when dnd is on

Working better with HomePod too. Tapping the Airplay icon on the bottom left of the Music app or Now Playing seems to bring up my HomePod as a source every time. Which wasn’t happening in the last beta.

Anyone seeing long "verifying" times when attempting to update to beta 3?

Can’t say as I did, mine actually went a lot faster than I normally expect it to take. Can’t think why it would be taking an excessive amount of time. What version Watch are you on?

Beta 2

Sorry, I meant as in Apple Watch series. My series 3 went rather fast but my old series 0 took a lot longer. Down to processing power I suppose.

Odd, gets me stumped as to why it’s taking so long. Has it installed now though?

Retrying again. Not sure if something happened during the initial download or not. So, this is attempt #3.

Will report back.

Finally got it updated!

Has anyone noticed that the icons are larger now... easier to touch and see at least for me
