Are far as battery is concerned, I noticed no difference. My 42mm Series 3 LTE starting at 100%... 8 hours of sleep it was at 97%. One hour workout Other and it was at 91%. Identical to the previous.
Got a tip for us?

Seems ok. I did a run yesterday and it registered my run. Today, I ran again, put the workout app on pause then resumed my run. On the watch it was tracking properly, BUT when I finished my run it showed my stats on the watch but didn’t sync to my phone. And my run disappeared from my watch.
I reported this to Apple, might have been a glitch, but I’m not pausing anymore!
With the new 4.2.2, on the first page of this thread it states you can choose playback devices... Does that mean you can access your music library in your phone like you could in WatchOS 3 before they oddly took that feature out?
Also, is there any hope of mass text message delete on this new beta, or at least some sort of Sync option? I am getting quite annoyed with doing the slow 3 step process when deleting my texts everyday from the watch. Thanks for the help...

If your iPhone is locked or asleep, all notifications will go to your Watch. If your IPhone is unlocked then they’ll go to your iPhone.

Not sure what the original phrase was, but you can switch between (for instance) the iPhone Music app, and the Apple Watch Music app being controlled by the watch. You can't access your iPhone music library (except to go forward and back).
Negative. They only allow you to control playback once it's already initiated on the iPhone/iPad.
Which remains the most stupid decision made by Apple re the Watch. It has crippled it and reduced it to the status of a 2005 era iPod shuffle.
phone (same as standby button on iphones):
- mute incoming call -> press 1x digital crown
- dismiss incoming call -> press 2x digital crown
- mute incoming call -> press 1x digital crown

Is the bug fixed with the stopwatch where it always shows after you start it when raising your wrist? Has been driving me nuts ever since I updated my series 2 from 3.2.3
Not sure this is a bug. Apple Watch app on iPhone > General > Wake Screen > While in Session.
Not a fan of the playback controls always showing on screen whenever you play music on your phone.
So turn it off? Settings-->General-->Auto-Launch Audio Apps off
How’s the performance on series 2 with 4.2.2? Ever since I updated mine to 4.2 there has been a noticeable lag with mine that wasn’t there before on 3.2.3.
