How does the sleep feature work? Do you HAVE to use the automatic schedules? Because some of us don't go to sleep at the same time every night! I tried turning on the sleep mode on the watch but when I do int manually, it does not seem to record sleep. Not sure if this is bug or I am doing something wrong....
Got a tip for us?

At the end of the keynote, Tim specifically said that for the first time WatchOS is getting public beta. Its going to get interesting.
Fantastic question

Working at a hospital 12-13 hrs a day, the hand washing app is going to get tired ?
Third party force touch seems to just be remapped to a long press in the beta. Dark Sky and Fantastical both bring up menus that way, and a long press is working fine on beta 1.
Installed last night. Working great so far. It's only Day 1. Let's see what happens 
Battery is fine, but I have no 3rd party apps. I wonder if the battery drain is caused by 3rd party apps. I never have battery drains with any of the betas.

Huh, I updated to WatchOS 7 last night and in my first few tests this hasn't been the case. I've been testing with the Now Playing screen. I still get the frosted app with digital clock when the watch face goes to sleep mode on AW5. Are you sure about this behavior? Can anyone else confirm?
Maybe you disabled the "Auto-launch audio apps" in the Settings > General > Wake Screen ???

Battery drain seems to have gone away for the past few days, which is really weird. I’m back to watchOS 6 battery life now.
Hello all!, Any one tried the sleep mode?, when i put the AP ni sleep mode the screen didn’t turnoff ( block) and didint giveme the morning report , anyone the same issue?
Well, it depends on what the last live face was. If you’re listening to music and you go back to your watch face, then if your watch goes to sleep, it isn’t Now Playing. But If you turn your wrist while using Now Playing , then Now Playing becomes your sleep face. Or was it like this on watchOS 6 as well?
And I still have auto-launch audio apps enabled.

Did anyone received that notification on the phone when the watch is fully charged?

Make sure the Charging Reminders setting is enabled within the Sleep settings in the Watch app on the phone

That's good to know, I'm on day 2 and battery life feels very ‘beta’. Seems nice and stable though.

I get it all the time
Finally decided to take the risk of updating my watch. I always skipped the watchOS beta as the roll back option was to send to apple. However decided this time to try it out. So far it’s surprisingly stable. My AW4 seems faster and no issues so far. I noticed they put in a delay for volume control which I see a huge value in. No more accidentally changing the volume when my crown rubs against something
I've been using DB1 since it came out and using the sleep feature. You set it up in the Health app, and you can choose which days of the week you want sleep to be activated and the schedule for that day of the week. But it's also easy to change for any particular day-- you can go into the Health app and edit your sleep schedule for today (and only for today, the popup page title is "Next Wake Up Only").
Was previously using Sleep++ but Apple's sleep lets my AW5 turn off its screen at night, which it previously wouldn't do.
