Where was that communicated? Just went onto the iOS dev centre and there is no watchOS GM seed listed, just the beta 9 from August 27th.
Maybe they pulled it as it didn't include S1&S2?

I was really hoping this update would fix the iMessage and text message issue. None of my texts have been syncing properly since like 5 betas ago.
Anyone else having this issue?
 
The download is super slow. I keeps going between 2 hours and like 8 hours... Hoping it speeds up and evens out.

Edit: It ended up only taking about half an hour to download.

this has been my updating experience with the watch, both s0 and s4.
 
The WatchOS 6 GM profile is now in the developer portal, it shows build number as 17R6575 there, but my watch and watch app on iPhone both reflect 17R575.

17R575

Took 40 minutes to download (Series 4) at 1.3 GB from Beta 9. Once it got to "installing" took literally 2 minutes to finish. Already booted back up.
Still not seeing the Meridian Watch face with the GM build of watchOS installed. Do I need GM Of iOS 13.1 too?

I’m running iOS 13 GM and have a S4 watch - from what I have read in regards to 13.1 at least is that the face does not show in the Watch app on iPhone but can be added on the watch by pressing firmly on screen and adding there.

That’s exactly right. I’ve added the meridian and the new Nike faces directly from then watch but they haven’t shown on the watch app on the phone.
 
Running 13.1 b3 on my ip x and watchos6 gm on my s4. Battery life is rly worse. Lost about 10% / hour
 
I downloaded a beta profile in my watch and could see watchOS 6 as download. All went smoothly. I have the new watch faces and all new apps.

Also WatchOS6 enables ECG feature in India for Apple Watch 4

Yeah got the meridian but cannot see Nike on the watch face from the watch ? And not on the watch app on phone, running 13.1 beta 3 on phone

I am definitely not seeing this. Battery life is excellent on my Series 4 paired to an iPhone 8 running 13.1 DB3. Running the last WatchOS 6 beta (DB9) I only lost 42% on Sunday morning over 5 hours, and 3:18 of that was running a marathon with the Exercise app and GPS running. That's better GPS battery life than I've seen in the past.
 
Has anyone been able to install the At Bat app on watchOS 6? I had to wipe my watch and do a clean install and have not been able to get it to install since. ...yet it is the prominent app on the watchOS marketing images.

I was able to install it thru the App Store in the phone and add it to my watch by the watch app on the phone but if I tried to do it thru the App Store on the watch it said unable to do it try later

Wow great time 3:18 for the marathon! Good work!

I’m gunning for four hours this October and I’m worried it won’t last. My S4 uses more than yours it seem even without music. Will run a 20K Tuesday again to test out without music.

Do you use the low power setting for workout without LTE and no heart rate?
