Would love to hear about battery before installing the RC in a day or two
Anyone else on the RC having people complain about their iPhone asking them to pair with a near by Apple Watch aka your watch running the RC?
??? I only witnessed it when I paired my new Apple Watch Series 6 for the first time when I bought it new, it was during watchOS 9 or 10. It just unpaired as it had an issue during the long pairing process.
I see that when you have mail notification sounds turned off and only haptics enabled, well, that bug still not fixed (for me at least)…pathetic!
Ended up installing it on my S10 46mm. A typical 6-7 hour sleep tracking night has been draining around 15% prior to 11.2. It’s only one night, but last night I only lost 6% in that same time. Hoping this holds.
This usually happens to me in some beta versions. But last night I did not lose too much battery.
How about on the two Apple Watch Ultra you have? I heard you have the Hermes Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the original one.
Haven’t gotten around to installing 11.2 RC on the Ultra, been favoring wearing my S10 more lately! Will report back. In the past sleep tracking with the ultra usually loses me around 5-6%.
Which Apple Watch Ultra do you plan on installing the beta? I heard that you have two Ultras in natural titanium. The small decrease in battery life is understandable, Apple Watch Ultra batteries are meant to last longer than regular Apple Watch. ⌚️
It has been resolved in the 11.1 beta 4/5. Weeks ago. You should be fine even if you recently upgraded your Apple Watch.
How have you worked that out then?
My Ultra 2, also bought in February this year, said 97% before installing 11.2 and it still says it now.
😱 the bug is happening again!!! My Apple Watch Series 6 now says 99% battery health, it was 100% last beta! I only even had it for 6 months y’all with this gold stainless steel S6 I had since May. Let’s put another bug report in there!
might have a challenge with convincing its a significant problem/bug. october 2023 purchased AWU2 on latest 11.2 100% capacity. unlike an earlier beta where the change was around 10% drop a 1% drop is not so significant.
Bruh I never seen this bug before with the percentage sign backwards. Did you restart your Apple Watch Ultra 2 black titanium? This time this bug did not adversely affect battery drain unlike the 11.2 beta 1/2… developer beta and I did send over a bug report via feedback assistant. Do it on your iPhone as well.
Had you set the units for the time and date to have the percentage sign forward?
Btw I got an ocean band for my S6! I love it!
its not a bug im here in turkiye 🇹🇷 percentage symbol is placed at beginning of number. regional format its same on phone.
Understandable, no wonder some countries need to be like that. Favorite Apple Watch ⌚️ Ultra bands?
Good morning Apple Watch wearers. In 11.2 RC/public release the Apple Watch still does automatic sleep tracking. Had to stay up until about 1:30 last night to catch up on my emails and things and slept in beyond the usual schedule until 8 am. Here’s some proof y’all:
Anyone else seen this on the RC as well?
Anyone else seen this on the RC as well?
Yes, seen this the last two nights. Though in both cases it wrongly detected sleep while I was watching TV.
??? Did you fall asleep while watching the movie or game? Sometimes on long shows I do.
No. Maybe I did not move much, but I was awake. Also there was a „wake“ interval of about 2.5 hours then until I went to bed.
Would not care but Athlytic calculates a very wrong sleep quality score. As a number nerd, I do care. So I manually delete the wrong naps in Apple Health the next morning.
