Am wondering if anybody else has experienced this. It has only started to happen since installing the latest beta version of the watchOS. I swim 70 lengths. The watch (currently an Ultra) accurately records the number. At the end of 70 lengths I pause the workout, do the water clear routine and then end it. The watch then reports to the Activity app in my iPhone what I have done. That is what used to happen. Now, since the recent update, I stop at the end of length 70, pause the workout, exit the water protection feature and then end the workout. it now only records 69 lengths. There seems to be a longer time delay in the watch sensing and reporting. It never used to. I need to double check by pausing the workout and then not doing anything for a longer period, not something needed before, but wonder if anybody is seeing longer delays in the watchOS reporting data to the iPhone.

I have submitted feedback on this to Apple.
 
unfortunately its very apparent on my S7 with the latest beta OS 11 but not apparent on my S9 with OS 10.6 . being it is a beta you will just have to hope it is resolved between now and official release sometime in September.. 73's OM G7LIJ no longer QRV reside in TA (istanbul) where its very difficult to obtain a licence or even purchase equipment and erect antenna arrays ..
