So far no go... Anyone else with a developers license - post if it becomes available. Some really nice features to check out.
I just said the same think on another thread
I will know really soon as it is installing right now. Took an hour to download. Not sure if the apps need to load into memory and stay or if the OS will handle that part. If it is the app, we won't be seeing much improvement for a few months... I guess.I want to try out the new activity ring watch faces and maybe the photo face if you can more than one complication.

Definitely need iOS 10 first before you can do watchOS3
Could you let us know some time if the watch still measures the users heart rate every 5 minutes and what the battery life's like?(though I admit beta 1 battery isn't much to go by) cheers
Some of new faces that show on your phone.
[doublepost=1465859699][/doublepost]I like that I can disable screen shots... no more random pictures taken Love the new activity chronograph watch face. You can also set more settings for the wake screen beyond just return to watch face after 15 seconds or 70 seconds.
[doublepost=1465860763][/doublepost]I put Carrot weather in the dock and it instantly comes up with the current temp without refreshing. That was a nice find... definitely put items in the dock that you want faster access but it seems to be best when you have a complication for the item. There are some quirks when you can add complications on the watch but you don't have those choices available when you configure your complication from the Apple Watch App on your iPhone. It is nice that you can setup your watch face from the App on your iPhone.

Looks like you can now pause indoor and outdoor runs in the workout app if you ever stop. A nice Touch If you need to stop a run.
Once you put them in y
Once you put them in your dock (you can choose to put up to 10 apps here), they load instantly. Other apps seem to launch faster for sure too, but not instant at all.
Nope.
No changes to the Workout app as far as I can see. BUT, there is a quick way to launch straight into your favorite workout without having to set up goals and everything now.
Thanks!
This was already present in previous versions. You could pause any workout and resume, couldn't you?
In watchOS 2, you can tap a notification to give a richer view of that notification; kind of a second tier notification. In watchOS 2 when you dismiss that second tier notification, it brings you back to the main notifications overlay, which you then have to swipe or click out of the way, to get back to the watch face. Now, in watchOS 3, when you dismiss a second tier/richer notification, it brings you straight back to the watch face, rather than the first tier, main notifications screen (which is often empty if you keep your notifications clear).
This is so minor and complicated to word for me to try to add it to the main post. If you guys can figure it out, by all means

Can someone message me? I can't get my phone to find the watch os update and I could really use the help. And yes my phone is running iOS 10

I simplified it and added a source link to your comment. Thanks
Do you need iOS 10 to install watchOS 3 or will current do? Do you install profile to watch : iPhone or both please ?
