WatchOS 2.0 Beta 3

[aduteau]

can people actually try native third party apps for Watch OS 2.0 beta ? are Third party apps makers letting people beta test them ? if so ... how is the speed of apps ? better ? worst ?? battery drain after using native third party apps ?

Anybody having issues with Timer? I set a timer, and the time elapses, but it never makes a sound, vibrates, or lights up the screen.

Yeah, same experience for me.

Nope, I'm afraid those apps won't be showing up until the public release in the fall.

Yeah, same experience for me.

Thanks for confirming this. It's also happening with Alarms, I've found not-- not just Timers.

I've also noticed that the stand icon is not recording in this beta

Anyone else having issues adding cards to Wallet on the watch?

Battery life sucks for me with this beta. It's 12:37, and I'm at 49%. Sucks.

I'm new to this. I've got the profile for beta 3 on my iPhone but when I look in the Apple Watch app and go Software Update it says it's up to date. What am I missing?

There is no public beta for the Watch.

When you're installing the profile, you must install it on the Watch itself, not the iPhone!

 

[BaggieBoy]

Yes, already submitted a bug report.

Pointless, since the release notes for Beta 3 state Apple Pay isn't supported.

If you enroll as an Apple Developer, there are several WatchOS 2.0 example projects you can find online, download, build with Xcode and install on your watch.

2.0beta3 apps seem to run just a bit faster than similar code on an iPhone 4.
