Got a tip for us?

I wonder if Apple reads stuff like this and just giggles? I see no difference in taptic strength or any speed improvements.
Hmmm did not update yet but I have 6 seconds on a wrist raise and 16 on a screen touch.
As I said a little later on, the Taptic could just be placebo but the speed improvements are definitely there. Most noticeably loading 3rd party apps (the BBC news app used to have a really good think before opening) and perhaps more importantly dismissing notifications. I used to have them hanging around a good 10 seconds or sometimes permanently until I closed notifications and opened it again after dismissing them. Now they go straight away which is a welcome change.
I just tried it again...might be closer to 7 seconds. But again, it may just be wishful thinking on my part.
Wow I never had a delay on dismissing. I'm wondering if there is a difference on when these were manufactured. I have not had any of the delays and such mentioned here.
I've wondered that too. I've never had an issue with just twisting my arm without lifting it to get the screen to activate, nor have I had trouble dismissing notifications. Hmmm.
I never had any of those issues prior to the update, so maybe it was just a good reboot that solved it for you...
At least on my watch, it is now 10 seconds. It used to be 6 when you raised your wrist, and longer if you tapped the screen to wake it.
The longer time is a nice change for sure.
EDIT: Okay, this is weird. The first 2 or 3 times I tried it, it seemed to last 10 seconds, or at least to a slow count of 10, which isn't quite the same thing. Now I can only count to 8 before it turns off, which may be more like 6 full seconds. Maybe I was just overly enthusiastic the first few times.
I wonder if instead of actually extending the time the screen is on, they just tweaked it to prevent it from shutting off early?

I'm really glad to see this. I just timed it:
Upon initial wrist raise, the screen stay on for 6 seconds.
If you tap the screen, it now stays on for 18 seconds.
Just curious...what size watch are you using?

Servers are probably really busy...you may want to try again later...Update is not showing as available for me

Wish I had timed it. I just downloaded the update then just placed my watch down to charge and waited til it was done.
Seemed like an eternity...but it was probably around 10-12 minutes, give or take a little.
It has been re-booted a fair few times since I got it but nvm. Seems the number of people who seem to notice a difference are in equal number to those that don't so there's little point arguing. It is what it is I guess.
It takes about 10-12 minutes.
When it starts applying the update you get the Apple logo with the dotted lines around the screen and it lights up the lines as it goes.. this takes the longest and must be the actual upgrade.
It then restarts and does the same, this time much quicker. Probably updating profile settings and reinstalling apps.
Then final boot and you are up and running

I notice no difference at all with anything other then the emoji. I don't use 3rd party apps yet tho.

Try closing the watch app on your phone and opening it again
