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

[BSben]

I still wish for an EQ for the watch, music playback sounds a bit flat somehow.

Yes, it is storing them on the watch. I do not believe auto-delete works on the watch. I have auto-delete on my phone set for 30 days, but I have not seen them delete from my watch.

Apple needs to synchronize message deletion across devices just it does emails. Its a pain to have to delete the same message on 4 or 5 difference devices.

Does Mickey Mouse still periodically crackle when telling the time in 3.2? I started to notice this under 3.1.3....

New beta is out

Pathetic, especial on the watch where you just delete one by one.

Observations on new beta, anyone?

 

[Watabou]

Seems no different so far -- haven't noticed anything new as well. Performance seems to be relatively the same as the last beta.

 

[pedrowerner]

Great battery and performance here with series 2 48mm

 

[ad931]

Series 0 on Beta 3, battery life is better, off the charger at 6am and now at 82%. same time yesterday was at 68% with the same usage. performance is a tad smoother

New sound when you use your watch to unlock your Mac.

Yep -- new haptic feedback as well. It's now more of a three quick taps in succession rather than two slow taps. Distinguishes itself better against different notifications, I like it.

Are you guys noticing specific things that are faster/smoother on Series 2 compared to current non-beta release?

 

[Defender2010]

Very impressed with how fast raise to wake is now on this beta. Seems more accurate than ever it was. Almost zero delay series 0. 3.2 is shaping up to be a great release for all Apple Watch owners.

Have you noticed this?

Hi Watabou,
I have discovered that while you are in "Music" or "Now playing" app, you could use the digital crown to adjust volume.
Any chance you could mention it in your original post? (if you haven't mentioned it before)
This feature is super handy if you have AirPods, and don't want to pull out your iPhone to adjust volume.

Cheers,

It still works like that

Thanks for putting up all this info. It is useful.
However, I am dyer need of specific information about my nike+ watch 2. My nike+ watch 2, for the most part, the NRC app shuts down as I am running and I have to restart the app again. Or sometimes I notice as I am running I bring up my watch to see how I'm doing on the app and it already stopped and is back at the NRC start screen again.
I am assuming that one, somehow as I am wearing long sleeve running gear, the garment taps the screen and inadvertently puts me right back at the start screen. Or two, the NRC app just shuts down and it resets.
So, my question is for one, is there a way to lock the NRC app afterI press the START button or even during my run? And my question two, is there anything I need to be doing other than updating the Watch OS so the NRC app won't shut down on me as I am running.
I love the watch, however these two things really get me and tick me off as I am running. If you have ever worked out, either weights, cardio, running, or any activity event where you require the NRC app to record and it shuts down on you, is very, very annoying.
Any information or suggestions from anyone in this forum would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

@sitcomone Would you mind editing the quotation of the post from your reply? No need to include all that and it really clutters things up. Thanks!

Beta 4 is out!

 

[pedrowerner]

Took me 70 min. To update it.

Ouch....

 

[pedrowerner]

From a series 2...

 

[Mlrollin91]

I really wish they would bring back a lock button in the control center. Seems really stupid that there is no way to lock the screen without taking it off and putting it back on your wrist.

Yes it is highly annoying they've seem to have done nothing to improve the update process. Being that it's done over wifi it shouldn't take this long even, taking in to account slow servers on release days. Once it is downloaded to the watch it's still painful.

Sure, added that now, thanks.

Also, the original post is a wiki. Feel free to add more things you notice. 🙂

Haven't really noticed any change to raise to wake performance in this beta. Seems almost slower to me, which could just be a fluke. Also on Series 0.
