I updated yesterday and, apparently, I stood and walked around every hour since midnight last night. Let's see if a reboot will fix this.
Got a tip for us?

Reboot may not help. I've been having this problem from 3.1.1 (or from 3.1) and 3.1.3 didn't change anything.
I think this post even negates the upgraded processor with the Series 1/2 when downloading updates. No matter what, I think it takes a longer period of time based on the servers and patching the software update to the iPhone.
Has anyone noticed changes in the raise to wake algorithm?
I *think* it is now more difficult for me to check the watch while lying down in bed and it doesn't turn on automatically as much.

Yes I have.

- you get your exercise ring far too easily (just slow walking with a low HR)
- you get stand hours during the night
These both issues have been there since 3.1.1.
Thanks for confirming.
For reference, on my end the exercise issue was also present with watchOS 3.1, and I while I wear my watch during the night I didn't notice it wrongly reporting that I am standing.
Mine finished, but then it sat on a dimly lit apple logo for about 10 min. finally I forced reboot and it sat for 5 min.
forced boot again and threw it on the charge once again and it booted. Anyone else experience this?

Dunno. I let mine sit there until I decided to go look, and by then, it was fully rebooted.

Last night was better than the night before. Only 3 walks instead of 12....haha! I hope Apple knows this bug. I will try to report this.
First gen Apple Watch; updated today and noticed that if I check a notification on my phone, its still in my notification center on my watch. Anyone else experiencing this?
EDIT: a soft reset seemed to clear this up.

Going to brave it and update mine tonight when I go to bed. Just doing my phone now.
Just googled how to soft reboot etc in case I experience any of these minor issues. Hopefully all will be ok but we will see.

Updated all my Apple Watches. No issues. And update actually went faster than I thought it would.
Coolio. Just woke up so no idea how long it took but it does say it can take from a few minutes to 1 hour to complete so I would not have any issues if it took so long as they tell you beforehand. I just restarted the watch too as some say the minor issues they had went away after doing this so doing it as a preventative measure
Hopefully the battery is as good or better than it was as I thought it was great, 2 days including all notifications on and 2-4 workouts in that time too
I updated 2 days ago with no issues. Today woke up to my activity ring reflecting that I burn 1300 calories had over 400 minutes of exercise and that I stood for 8 hours. It also doubled what I had done on Friday. I try unpairing and pairing and that did not resolve the issue. Waiting for an apple support call at 9:30am.
I have to say that 3.1.3 has clearly shortened my battery life. First it seemed to be almost the same, but now there has been couple of days much shorter b life than before (3.1 - 3.1.1). It may be something with my watch only, because generally it seems that .3 didn't change battery life.
Apple support says nothing they can do about deleting those false rings. Told me just to do a recalibration and to give it a couple of days and it should be back to normal.
I've had my watch on all day since 7:30 AM with the exception of about hour. It's 9:45 right now and I have 87% battery life left
I wasn't doing much with it either. Just checking the time. Obviously, it drains quicker when I'm checking messages at work
Battery seems much better, full day yesterday and when it went on the charger last night was only at 74%
Only thing I didn't do yesterday was a workout.

Horrific battery life after the last update. I remove my watch from the charger every weekday at 6:30am, and by the time I finish my workout at 4pm I usually have a percentage in the 30s left. I can always make it through the day. Today I got a low battery during my workout (same cardio every day), and when I got done with my workout I was at 4%.
Any suggestions?
Give it a couple of days, or try restarting both watch and iPhone and then give it a couple of days. After updates I think the watch and the iPhone talk a lot more in the background than usual. Once all the apps are up to date things settle down.
This has happened to me with previous updates, and it's happening today as well. I updated my First-Gen 38mm AW last night. I wear my watch to bed to monitor my sleep (with the Pillow app), so I usually charge it up to 100% before I go to sleep, and then I put it back when I get in bed at 10:30 or 11. I usually still have 25-35% battery left before I charge it (maybe down into the teens if if I record a workout). Today I am down to 5% after having it on since 11pm last night. I recorded one 45-minute workout.
I also experienced two crashes while trying to change my alarm time. The watch just rebooted itself twice while I was trying to do that. So I'm definitely not saying there isn't something wrong with this update. There might be something wrong with this update, but my watch has been a little power hungry the day after installing previous updates as well.

EDIT 1/31/17 8:00am: My watch still crashes almost every time I try to edit an alarm time. I will usually be able to save the updated time on the 2nd or 3rd try. This is editing an existing alarm. Next I will try simply creating a new alarm and maybe deleting the old one (It's an alarm that repeats during business days, but this week I've been modifying it to arrive early).

Do you use an app on your iPhone like Human that track movement independently? If so, that could be the culprit. That information is read by Health, which then is read by your watch. Maybe you have an app that is sharing additional tracking that is adding to what you're already doing in addition to your Apple Watch. I have Human on my iPhone and after I go in that app, I can have a sky high workout number since it seems to track simply walking. As a workout rather than the Apple Watch which takes into account heart rate and other things before it actually gives you credit. Hope this helps.
