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

Wasn't getting the update so I checked and it seems that my developer profile was uninstalled, most likely after updating to Beta 2. Installed it again and the update showed up. Just in case anyone else is having a similar issue.

I just saw the beta 3 update but I am many hours from being home with my charger, REALLY wish the watch didn't have to be on the charger in order to update. I understand it having to be over a certain percentage charged but why on the charger? It might be different if it was as easy to get a second charger for the watch as it was for the phone. I am NOT a patient person and waiting until I get home late tonight will be torture! LOL!
 
I cannot download watchOS 3 beta 3 here. Just updated to iOS 10 beta 3, and the new watchOS beta does show up here. But when tapping the download and install button and having typed in my passcode, the page reloads and shows me that button again. Anyone who knows what might solve this?
 
Finally, the activity watch face is quick to load on a wrist raise. No more delay. :)

Well, I may have to take this back... subsequent wrists raises have been hit or miss for quick response versus the second delay.

It is turned off by default in the clock settings. It seems very laggy though once enabled.

I see that now. I had a thought after posting that it might just be off. Its on again. I was off doing something else unrelated too when it came to me to just check the setting. Funny how that happens.

It was quicker on the first try on the second beta too :/ really disappointed, this watchface is my favourite
 
When alarm goes off on watch (nightstand view), it now says Off below crown and Snooze below the side button.

Mine seems to be a bit quicker to load the face but as of this morning, the date still remains what it was yesterday until I time travel.
 
My watch has gone from 100% to 13% battery in the space of 2 hours. Whilst I was travelling from home to the hospital and then to work, the maps directions were coming up on my watch (like they are supposed to). I feel that might have been the reason for the sudden drain, but it is obviously a problem with Beta 3. Will try it again tomorrow once I have some more battery!!!

This happens from update-to-update for me. Start with a restart then go to un-pair and pair again.

Agree with this one. Happened yesterday for me after the update and I wasn't even doing anything. A power off/on was all it took.

Beta 2 was taking 25% of the battery per hour of workout instead of the normal 10% but that could have been a fluke as the whole workout was whacked. It registered the 2 hour workout and monitored my heart rate for two hours but it acted as if I didn't set the workout as it gave me credit for 30 minutes of exercise and only 300+ calories - should have been closer to 800 and 120 minutes. The workout was running but it was acting weird. Cold boots seem to fix most of these, but it is beta. We expect this at times.
 
Massive problem with ios 10 beta 3 on phonr and watch now no notifications come to phone when its off why is this

Wait, you're saying the crown now turns the alarm off and the side button snoozes? This is the opposite of how it currently works, and seems counter-intuitive. The bigger, easier to hit button (crown) should always be the snooze.
 
I'm seeing, on average, around 4-5% per hour discharge. That's with probably more than usual use thanks to the snappy applications now, which I actually find myself using :) 71% Right now 6.5 hours off the charger, with standard notification flow, some app use, maps for 20 minutes this morning. For a beta that's pretty damn good, I think.

So you have unpaired the watch from the iPhone and re paired the two and the notifications came back?
