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

[john991]

I find it very odd that they have the watchOS 3.2 information on the dev site but no sign of the beta yet, 24 hours later.

maybe they pulled it at the last minute.

Hopefully it comes out in the next few days...

Yeah they must have found a bug. I prefer them working all the kinks for it to install without bricking the Watch or something. I don't mind waiting for that.

Very impressed with speed improvements with 3.1.3! Battery life seems better, too.

The phone even tells you you can do this!

Battery life on 3.1.3 is great, 42mm SS S2, and the longest use so far as been about 2 days 10hrs and 4hrs 30mins of usage before it died.

And I'm on a 42 mm SS S0!

I'm at 25% on my Series 2, using it for 25h now, with one night of sleep analytics on airplane mode.

Correction. watchOS Beta Software Profile. There is no 3.2 profile specifically.

Sure, on Apple developer site it says 3.2 beta profile.

But my download is 1/2 hour! 242mb in size. Very slow...

I didn't have to download anything to my watch. I already had the watchOS software beta profile installed though from the 2.0 days.

Strange, as I checked the new beta wasn't available, but as soon as I installed the 3.2 profile the beta was available.

Is yours taking forever to download?

Is yours taking forever to download?

Mine is -- it is saying 60 minutes remaining and I started the process about 20 minutes ago...

 

[Defender2010]

Preparing just finished. Installing started.

 

[ad931]

theater mode is there! Swipe up and you'll see the icon

It might be me, but I find watchOS 3.2 a tad faster

Can you screenshot the control center screen as well as how the watch looks with it activated?

Here are the screen captures.

Just a quick question about theatre mode - does rotating the digital crown still manually bring up the screen with controllable brightness in theatre mode, or do you have to physically press the screen or a button and get full brightness?
