Agreed. Text notifications not dismissing with the Dismiss button is frustrating. The dismiss button has been messed up since beta 1...kind of annoying

Weird. It told me I had to be at 50% and charging to update.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe it depends on the percentage?
I think mine was about 98% before I started downloading.
I have no charger with me. It's currently still installing now:
Mine prompted me to put it on the charger, but I said "Ok" and then it installed anyways!
Also, this is new...
Yep. That fits better with the Messages theme, I like it.
Although with the Scribble feature, the ability to select the numbers and special characters is now gone.
Scribble only lets you scribble now. No selecting special characters, which is a bummer. For me, it never seems to recognize a question mark or an apostrophe.
This was present in beta 1, or at least beta 2 of watch OS 3.

During a workout, sliding to the left to see Lock, Stop and Pause - the Lock is now an icon of a lock, instead of a blue water droplet like b3 had (and maybe b2?)
Bit the bullet and installed my first watchOS beta today. So far it is running smooth and I love it. I know I will regret it in some way at some point, but first impressions are great.
Unlocking my MacBook seems to work instantly-----
Edit: Seems Unlocking my Mac does not work. My Mac is just unlocking automatically when opening the lid for some reason. Shouldn't there be a setting somewhere on either the Watch app for iPhone or on my Mac?

There is a setting that needs to be enabled on the Mac under settings/privacy. Assuming you are on the beta for the Mac as well for Sierra.
[doublepost=1470145069][/doublepost]Beta 4 finally seems to respond instantly to arm raise/wrist turn with the Activity face. So far no delays at all.
Is it me or doesn't the watch turn off when you drop your wrist after a wrist raise? I thought this happened before? Now it comes on on wrist raise but doesn't turn off (only after set amount of time like when you touch it).
Yes I am.
Wrist raise is working fine for me. And it correctly shuts off the display when I lower my wrist.
Hmm not here since updating
Did you try turning it off an on again?
Also maybe turn off the the wrist raise option and turn it back on again.
Tried both but didn't change.. It comes on on wrist raise but doesn't turn of when lowering.
The color of this new menu changes to ‘green’ if the message is being sent via SMS as well.
I'm finding battery life much better on this beta
