Hey, this is news to me, I thought these "leaked" new workouts would be for the Series 3 only, thanks for the input on how to "unlock" them!
I did an open outdoor run and and didn’t get the new workouts.
Is there something else that needs to be done?
Is anyone experiencing severe battery drain on beta 8? I'm losing ~10% every hour with the utility face watch on. I find it weird because battery life was great on beta 7
i may be missing something, but having finished an open workout, i still cant see these new workouts
Try an "Other" workout instead. "Running - Open" means a running workout without a goal, like a time or distance goal.
No option to restore w/o sending to Apple, which would cause a headache when millions of people want to send their watch back and have them fix it because they wanted to give unfinished software a test run.
Inaccurate Step Counts...
Anyone else see this?: I find there's a discrepancy between the number of steps you see in the Activity App with that of the Health App! The Health App is always lower.
For example, I can look at the number of steps I've had on a given day in both apps. Here's what I see for the last few days:
8/28: Activity App: 8200 Steps Health App: 5236
8/29: Activity App: 14328 Steps Health App: 13775
8/30: Activity App: 11921 Steps Health App: 10735
That's pretty craptacular - Especially when I want to average 10,000 steps a day, and the only way to see that is by looking at the health data which doesn't seem to count all the steps... It makes it difficult to want to use a watch over a fitbit if the basics are messed up.
Is this a beta issue?

Mine is pretty close to each other. But my activity app shows less steps than the health app. (Mine are off by approx 100 steps) and I try to reach > 10,000 steps a day.
Only one of the pointless things that Apple changed in WatchOS 4. Another is no longer being able to browse music on my iPhone and choose what to play.
I think the answer was a 3rd party app (Health View) - I uninstalled it, then re-installed and when it asked for write access to step data, I said NO - why would a step counter need to write to the health app's step data?
At any rate, they're now in sync...
Is anyone annoyed by the new Dock behavior where the last used app is not persisted? Specifically, when the Dock order is set to "Favorites" but upon going to the watch face and then pressing the Dock button, the Dock is scrolled all the way back to the top. Extremely annoying to me and breaks the a cardinal rule of UI -- persistence.
watchOS 3 properly retains the last Dock's scroll position on entry to the Dock (as long as the app is in the Favorites list.) Can't understand why this might be changed. I thought it was an oversight but it's near the end of the beta cycle so I'm fearing this is an intentional change.
Very surprised this has not come up already.

I am using watchOS 3,
but I do not want to remember the position of the application that Dock started last.
Because I only have 2 apps registered with Dock..
I really don't like the new dock. The apps appear on top of each other and don't like having to scroll down.
