Is anyone else having issues with going to look at their watch and it's gone into Power Reserve mode? This seems to be when I wear clothing that covers the watch?
Well, if you have the battery complication. Touch that... if not, swipe up from the home screen and touch the battery %
I've never had this issue before. Beta 4 has been solid, but it has had issues when I workout. When I finish the workout, the watch has lost connection to the phone a few times this week and it has taken a hard reset just to get Bluetooth working again. Sometimes it takes several reboots. Although the heart rate sensor is better, it is still burning close to 15-20% per hour of workout and still isn't perfect for continuous heart rate and probably never will be. Overall, over an hour workout, it may lose the pulse a few times, that looks like nothing in some graphs, but a program like Cardiogram (good free app) will really show the failures.
I do like the graph when you use an app that is a source in your health data. Take a look at the picture attached. Even though I ran a workout other that is saved as strength training, the app, FitnessBuilder is represented in the graph.

I do, both Phone and Watch profiles installed. Just restored, started as new both my iPhone and watch, and installed both profiles. Damn watch update still doesn't appear after multiple restarts to both devices.
Try beta 5 that came out yesterday. So far for me the battery is better with this beta.
There always seems to be a few people - if not more that have a problem with their battery after an upgrade to a new beta - even released versions. Some go through the process of unpairing and re-pairing and that works, but I think removing the apps from the dock and a hard reset / power off is all it should take.
But yea, Beta 5 is out and battery has been solid - though 4 was great for me.
Pressing the dismiss button on notifications after scrolling past the reply options doesn't work. The notification remains...so annoying.
I'm not on the beta. Are you finding yourself with >25-30% by evening? In my mind, that's great battery life (enough to get you through to the next morning if you can't charge overnight or if you want to use the watch for sleep monitoring,etc...)
So currently on watchOS 3 beta 5. So one thing I have noticed on every beta so far...are Live Photos just killed on the watch??? Live Photos just seem not to exist on the watch anymore in the photos app and/or when they are set as watch faces.
I've been on watch so 3 beta since beta 3 and have no negative battery issues. I DO restore a backup to the watch each to,e as I find everything just works better that way.
I do find a couple of odd swipe issues. Hard to power off the swipe just doesn't seem to want to work.

Definitely greater than 30% every day. All in all, since Beta 3, battery has been equal to version 2.2 even with the dock and background app refresh.
Workouts seem to burn more per hour but beta 4 was an improvement.
I know I can't go back to watch OS 2 but what happens if I roll my phone back to OS 9? Is the watch essentially useless until I upgrade again?
Is that true? i thought I read from someone here that some features were not available (health among them) but that basic features (time keeping, notifications) still worked? I could just be mis-remembering, though.
I have to forcefully swipe at times to get the option to delete. I've also noticed you have to swipe a lot closer to the edge of the display to get the delete option.
No? It also reads in the background, every 5 minutes same as the previous release.
