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

Traveling on a cruise and am having a lot of issues with time changes. I have to manually change the time. Each day fitness tracking has been getting worse. Heart rate is way off 30-40 higher then it should be. Also heart rate gets stuck during workout so whatever the first heart rate reading is is what it is the whole time. Also I never get any fitness info updating anymore. Not sure if once I hit land and get cell signal it'll fix the issue. But I have resetting my watch multiple times. From a fresh start and a back up. Nothing helps.
 
My battery tanked today out of nowhere. Before I knew it, I was at 10%. I can usually make it through a 16 hour work day and a few awake hours before and still have some left over at the end of the day. Today, the Watch crapped out on my halfway through my work day. Totally unexpected because the battery life has been pretty good lately.

I'm on the most recent beta 3 also. And I had experienced the missing wifi connection issues in the last build. They are indeed solved now in beta 3. Watch wouldn't connect to known wifi networks when the phone was far away or disconnected.
 
Is it just me, but text messages come up with phone number on Watch but iPhone has the correct name.

Anyone else notice this?

Seems to be working now.

i have been having this issue for awhile now and I have tried going to the Watch app then General>Reset>Reset Sync Data but still showing same thing before and still not working. Also, if you deleted messages on the phone but the messages in a convo will still show on the watch if you receive any msg

So, Apple closed my radar about the missing Spring 2017 colors, with this to say:

The colors are supposed to be available on the public release, even though not in betas.

When I asked if they would be added in betas of future versions of watchOS, they said "All we know is what we already provided," making it unclear if the Spring 2017 colors will ever be added to the beta track. But what's definitely clear is that the exclusion is intentional.

Flawless, except for slightly reduced battery life on S0 in the last three betas.

Same for me. Battery life has been atrocious.

Well that just sucks!! Lol
 
Beta has been working fine, one thing I do notice is that pretty much all the time the first raise wrist to enable brings up the screen at FULL brightness. Historically, this was not the case.. anyone else notice that?

Should be something related to how/where the light sensor is located but it doesn't appear to be working or configured correctly in this build - from my experience at least.

I have always noticed this as full brightness. Maybe you had overall screen brightness turned down?

nah, I have brightness at full as always, but the watch will start lower based on ambient light. If one shines a light on the face it will certainly start at full brightness. Inside, I find that i would start much lower which was just fine. now, raise to wake starts at high.

Has anyone tried to update to the new public release out today, and see if the new Nike colors show up?

There's no Volt on a non Nike branded Watch that I can see anyway. The missing colours from the betas (the last round of sport band colours) is now present. I didn't know there was Mist Blue also...and it doesn't look blue at all!
