Apple Watch: All the Little Things! [watchOS 4.3 beta]

[honglong1976]

Latest beta seems to have completely killed the battery life of my Series 0.
It won't even get me through the day (10h) now.
Time for a new watch? It's less than 2 years old.

or wait for another update?

or wait for another update?

Obviously what I'll do first - the implied question was whether I'm the only one with that problem.
Series 1 owners generally seem to be reporting a battery life improvement.

Your not. I have the same Problem with my watch. But I just adopt in charging it when I return from work. I often take a nap before my after work run so this is not a problem. Batterylife will improve a bit eventually.

Whats the build number of the latest WatchOS 4.2 beta??

 

[Starship67]

I wonder why watchOS 4.2 release candidate isn't out? iOS 11.2 is

 

[farleysmaster]

I think they rushed iOS 11.2 because of the date bug.

 

[Ryankontos]

iOS 11.2 is public, but I assume it was released early because of the Dec 2 bug. I wonder when watchOS will be released? We're still on beta 4.

 

[garethjs]

It must be coming out soon

iOS11 has been one big bug fest.

Watch OS 4.2 was great until the last release that's taking my watch to battery drain city!

Your not. I have the same Problem with my watch.

Seems like the latest iOS (!) beta fixed this problem for me.
Yesterday was ok, still around 80% at 2pm today.

 

[Starship67]

I’m beginning to think Apple forgot about watchOS 4.2 lol
I just want my battery life back.

tvOS 11.2 is also out. Its the first time in a long while where Apple has not released iOS, tvOS and watchOS at the same time. iOS 11.2 was obviously rushed due to the 2. December bug the latest BETA was clearly a GM candidate and now we have tvOS 11.2 as well. But watchOS 4.2 haven't seen a build update in a very long time and we still have no release.

I don’t see watchOS 4.2 on the Apple developer site. Only watchOS 4.2 beta 4.

My guess it will be released tomorrow.

I also don’t see it available yet..

If it does indeed come out today it would be until 10am PT

 

[theoak2]

I guess that youtube was mislabeled. So we wait a little longer.

Public 15S102 out

Downloading and installing right now

You know what I find kind of annoying? I listen to music on my phone when I'm driving back home, and when I disconnect from the car, it still displays the music on the watch hours after I've stopped playing. I wish it was able to kind of assume that I'm done listening to music after, say, 15 minutes or so, or if there was an option.

This is definitely a bug, I experience it sometimes. If you reboot your watch and phone it will resolve it (until it happens again, of course).

 

[mkrizan4]

Updating right now.. Anyone has any idea why updates are taking up to 2 hours to install? Like what the hell?!

 

[theoak2]

Got it installed. Prominent vibration is either more noticeable, or I've adjusted to weak vibration. Hoping it helps with battery life. I'll find out in a few days. (If it lasts that long between charges.) I'm hoping for around 3 days some say that they get.

 

[Ryankontos]

Battery life for me has been really good on this version so far.
