My experience is quite the opposite, with B3 I would be down to 15% or so by 10PM (15 hours usage). Right now I'm at 47%

In the 1.01 Maps the haptic cues are different for left turn vs right turn but the audible cues are the same for both.
Do any of the betas fix this?

I am finding the battery to be just as good if not better than Beta 3... I am 3 hours in and have just hit 95%...
Since b4 my activity isn't syncing to my phone? I've tried repairing and reset setting on phone but no joy- any tips on a fix?
Otherwise on b4 getting a few hangs and resets not had on b3

Is the line that informs you of the date and time that the weather was updated new? It's at the bottom of the screen in the Weather app (possibly just on the local one). I'm having similar temperature glitches to those that were in beta 2.
Oh right. I've always seen the green digital time when mine has ran out of battery
I've always had that as well, but I'm thinking this is for when it's past that point. Where maybe it doesn't even have enough charge to show that maybe
Exactly the same for me and also opening apps directly takes quite a long time in some instances...
Strange mine is actually quite better...haven't charged it since 7am and at 47% at 6PM. BUT i should mention I don't use it for exercices or heartbeat so I disabled these which would have a significant impact on battery life I guess.
There won't be any until the Fall. Developers can't submit updated apps until then.
Workout app is problematic - yesterday I did 45 minutes body balance and it recorded 560 calories, usually it is around 280 calories. This morning I did a 4km walk, average pace normally 8.30 minutes per km, 1st km recorded at 21 minutes and total of 3km. I was only credited with 20 minutes exercise.
Brightness seems to be erratic too. Often, my watch is really bright and when I check the brightness in settings it is set at the lowest. When I increase the brightness it will correct itself.
Having the same issue as well. Will submit it as a bug.
It allways takes more time to go from 100% to 99% than any other.
With little to no use, it sats on 100% for a very long period of time
It's been like that for several major iOS releases. Apple has chosen to fake the battery meter percentages near 100%. If you overcharge Li-Ion batteries they will explode. So it's kind of important to stop charging them when they are full. But when you stop charging them the device it will use the battery to stay powered on. So the battery will drain. It's also good for the battery's lifetime to not keep charging it when it's near full charge. So it's important to let the battery drain some and then charge it to full again. You can see that with MacBooks. They can be connected to power but the battery meter might show 95% and not charging. But with iOS devices the battery meter will show 100% even when the battery is not fully charged. That's why it looks like the battery remains "fully charged" even though in reality that's not the case. Apple has chosen to do the same with the Watch too.
