Updated to beta 3 on my series 2, then did a repair
Now I can’t pair the watch to the phone. Phone isn’t updated, watch starts to pair after the animation but then says setting language and goes back to the start pairing screen. Meanwhile the phone gets to activation then says pairing failed.
Help!!
Edit: DFU restored the phone to DP3 and set up as new, now watch is paired. Arghhhh!

Phone still rings at least 2 times before my watch starts to ring. Thought this would be fixed in this beta.
I bit the bullet and installed. Installation is s bit hairy, as the phone hangs at several points in the install. Battery drained very quickly in the first few hours, but has seemed to stabilize since then. Right now, the Siri watch face seems to be nothing more than a glorified calendar, but I’m sure it will start doing more through the days and weeks to come.
I’m totally disappointed with new faces, I mean..is that all they could come up with...poor show in my opinion.
I’m also having the problem with the Home app in Beta 3. Just a blank screen - no HomeKit devices or scenes.
I am sorry if this has been posted before, I’ve searched a bit and went a couple pages back on this thread.
Installing watchOS Dev beta 3, it tells me on my iPhone the install is successfull. My watch did the whole install circle thing, restarted, and I entered my pin on the watch. It then repeated the circle status bar install. It got right to the end, the bar complete, and the watch sat there for an hour or so, no change. I did a reset (held down crown and side button until logo), and it’s been another hour, just sits at the install circle, all completed, just sits there. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Had it happened to me before when it came out and all I did was hold down the side button till it restarts and complete the install and it was good to go. Except, at the end of the day my "Standing" in activity app did not record any! So I did a complete erase and re-pair it.
On Beta 3 they added a bubble around the Siri button on the Siri watch face. I kind of preferred it without the bubble.
Other than that, I’m really enjoying Beta 3. It seems much smoother than the previous betas.

So far, the new activity animations display for:
- Daily completions of move, exercise and stand rings
- Weekly completion of move ring
- Weekly completion of stand ring
- Weekly completion of exercise ring
Going by this, it might also display for monthly achievements as well. It doesn't apply for the special challenges like this month's National Park 3.5 mile run though, which is slightly disappointing.

on iPhone: i opened multitasking, closed all apps and did a hard reset pressing home + sleep for 10 seconds.
on Apple watch: at language's setting, I did an forcetouch and choose restore factory settings.
Then, I did all the pairing process again and it did worked to me.
You know that John, I wouldn't mind if it was a kids watch but what kids can afford an apple watch?
I see them as just a gimmick like the Mickey/Minnie Mouse faces.
Siri face can be useful but the Kaleidoscope face, nah...wont be using that either.
Even updated complications would've been nice, but no, same old same old.
I agree. The new watch faces are just no good. Even the Siri one is not great...and it’s the best of a bad bunch of new faces.
The Siri face is useful, but frankly, it’s ugly. The rectangles look so out of place on the watch.
