WatchOS 2 Beta 2

seems a little better than the last one i guess. had to reboot after the first boot because the crown wasn't scrolling in most areas. then the taptic engine wasn't working. reboot number 2 now.
 
Finally getting the update but it says it's gonna take another hour (that will make 2 hours in total) to install the 25 Mb update to the watch? Wow wasn't expecting it to be so slow. Did everyone get that same snail's pace?
 
Apps are actually opening. Passcode input is fast. Charging now, but Im sure we'll all see reports of battery life tomorrow. Great day overall despite the many Beta hiccups

Performance is great. Everything is fast. Battery life I'll know tomorrow. Just have to make it clear to people that sometimes the outside progress bar doesn't show up at first where all you see is the Apple logo and then poof! 50% progress bar shows up out of nowhere.

I'm still curious when beta 3 comes out if we need to install the beta profile again.
 
Any early updates on battery life? Thats the only think keeping me from installing OS 2. iOS 9 beta 2 is much better with battery life so hopefully they did the same with the watch?
 
Hey for others with watchOS 2, how is Siri working for you? I never use it anymore because it rarely works properly, it takes a long time to start up and recognize my voice. No problem with 1.01. Just want to know others' people experiences.

Yep! I even got to a point during the install where I sat at a Apple logo for like 5 minutes and then out of nowhere I saw the outside ring progress bar pop up at 50% completion.
 
The heart rate sensor is not working on beta 2 well at least on my watch it isn't working




Edit: Restarted watch, sensor started working again.

Updated iOS 9 to beta 2 earlier. I'm a non developer though. Would like to push the update to the watch but not sure where else I can get the configure file. Any clues so I can install beta on the watch as well? Other than being a developer obviously?
