Having location based will drain battery like crazy!

This was fixed in beta 6. The geolocation symbol does not stay permanently on like earlier betas. I know this because I turned Location for Watch faces back on in Settings when I updated and its. It drained the battery or continuously showing in the Watch control centre or iPhone menu bar.

Is the Messages complication still showing unread message count? Mine is not. And the complication color changed from white to green.

I'm more interested in the Messages complication having:
Delete ALL messages on the Watch?
When I delete on the iPhone it removes from the Watch (it does from the Watch to the iPhone in current 3.1.3 but not iPhone to Watch).
Read on either reflects on either.

PS: Who's in Charge if WatchOS and do they have a direct email or twitter and respond to inquiries?
 
Having the VO2 max show up is good but I don’t think the Apple Watch can measure HRV hence the VO2 max is not as accurate as a Garmin. My Garmin Vo2max is 45 consistently and my Apple Watch VO2 max varies between 40-43
 
Nice. The Siri watchface is alerting me that storms will be arriving at my location around 3pm. That's pretty useful.

I’m sorry, could you say this again please? I have wanted this to happen so badly from my first Apple Watch and have never had my phone remove messages on my watch. I have to go in there once a week and delete them manually. It is such a hassle. Is there a setting I’m missing somewhere?

Was VO2 max a readout available in the current WatchOS? Also since you're using the beta, how are you able to view third data and where are you finding options to synchronize it?

Thanks.

When running or a citywide alert such as hurricanes this is very useful. Very curious if Apple will be tapping into emergency broadcasts and directing relevant information to all OS devices they make?!!

Well testing this again with current WatchOS and iOS no sync is working. I know it used to work, especially for iMessage recipients that when deleted on Watch it would delete on iPhone with Mirror iPhone set to ON. Restoring WatchOS seems to also break this.
 
HR measurement seems to have gone to s.... loses signal and then can't recover unless I quite the activity and restart.. i've had this before, wondering if they are throttling the sensor or the frequency.
 
HR sensor is operating the exact same as it always has for me.
[doublepost=1503265680][/doublepost]Beta 6 is a very polished beta release - makes me think it’s ready to go, outside of a few background tweaks here and there.

I have this issue too. What works for me is bring up heart rate monitor on the watch, it restarts the HR sensor once I see my HR in the heart rate app I kill the heart rate app and my workout app on the watch starts to monitor my heart rate again.

This happens to me randomly, some workouts I don’t need to do this
 
Is anyone having issues with Runkeeper and Nike Run Club not syncing with the phone? I could do standalone runs. But they don’t start the app in the phone or vice versa.
 
I've a problem with WatchS2 and oswatch4b6 concerning battery drain. Battery Life seems to be ok, a little bit worse than in oswatch3, but for beta seems ok. But after loading to 100% the battery begins draining 10-12%/hour, but only directly after loading. Tested all the tips here, nothing seems to help. The only thing which helps is a reset of watch. Then all seems normal (2-3%/hour) up to "after next loading cycle"...then again. Anyone had this too?
 
Most interested in knowing if Maps is a data source for Siri watch face in B7. Otherwise, beta 6 felt like a polished release ready for the market.
