Series 6 with cellular smoothness frame rate query.

[Fred Zed]

Not sure if its my imagination or not. But when setting up my wife’s series 6 the frame rate when scrolling doesn’t seem smooth. Tried the usual suspects, turned off and back on again turned off Bluetooth WiFi cellular connection still the same. She seems to think it’s normal , I guess that all that matters. Anyone else think the gui isn’t fluid ?

It could be, depending on the content and layout of the view/s you are scrolling ie how complicated it is and if it has to generate or pull the content somewhere but it can hit that little cpu pretty hard. Just to give you an example: fast scrolling a carousel like list with somewhat busy content can spike cpu quite often. I remember seeing regular past 90+% cpu utilisation spikes on S3 from scrolling alone but I'd imagine S6 should suffer alot less and less often. In any case if you just setup your Watch its probably doing quite a bit of background activity so I'd say let it settle for a while and do its thing. Its similar to when you just turn the Watch on or right after reboot.

Yes. Just scrolling through the menu and icons on the series 6. Nothing intense.
