I'm good on adding a photo...
Anybody figure out how to add an album or find the time lapse images Kevin showed??
Edit:
Found it! Not shown in regular watch faces.... hit the +, then crown scroll to the time lapse face.
Unless you are a dev and have an extra device I never understood the whole beta thing. The big problem I have is you cant actually submit apps until a week or so before beta is over. This really stalls my work and with the big push towards getting watch apps out asap I dont have the time to lose. Also the first round is so buggy its usually not worth it.
Does anyone know if you repair the watch and set up as new, will you lose the activity data from the previous setup?
Yes, stocks glance is also empty for me.
I dont't get any taptic feedback for incoming calls, anybody has a solution for that?
My heart rate was averaging at around 75 before, now it averages around 69, not sure if that's related or not
Did an "erase all content and settings" on the watch, clean install of 9b1 on phone, repaired, and battery is MUCH better on watch. Still at 94% where yesterday I was around 72% at this time.
Try toggling the "Show App on Apple Watch" button third-party apps section in the phone's Watch companion. It will likely say "installing app" when it isn't actually. Toggle it off until the installing note disappears, then toggle it on again. I had to manually install all my third-party apps this morning.
Anyone else having an issue with Adding a credit card to Wallet in the Watch app? Mine just sits and thinks about it for a long time then after 5min pops up saying an error has happened with setting up apple pay. I have restarted the phone and tried over and over to get it to go but nothing seems to let me add a card.
I wish my battery lift had flipped like the last few indicated. My watch is at 8% in reserve mode after 8 hours with little use. I restored it last night. Ugh. Hopefully beta 2 isn't far off and helps this issue.
Last night my battery made it just under 13 hours before it died. I unpaired the watch and repaired it and set it up as a new watch last night. I didn’t install any third party apps. Today it seems to be doing better than yesterday, but its still not great. I’m at 45% after 9 hours. I think I’ll do better than 13 today, but I dunno if I’ll make it all day.
I'm not getting two days out of the watch like I was before, but I've been using it for 24 hours now (slept with it on) and I'm on 35%, usually I'd be around 50% so definitely a decline, but not really a problem for me.
Though, notifications aren't coming through to the watch at all, so that might have something to do with the better battery than everyone else is seeing..

On my watch, in power reserve mode (which I am in now after probably 9 hours use), I don't have that red power icon that you have. Do you know why that is?
Downgrade instructions repost from http://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/39ahmn/i_downgraded_from_watchos_2_back_to_101/
"I restored my iPhone 6+ back to iOS 8.3 through iTunes, and restored a backup from last week sometime. I then downloaded the IPSW again for iOS 9 from IMZDL. I flashed this via iTunes but instead of doing a restore, I held Option (on Mac) and did an update, so it kept my 8.3 content from last week.
I was then able to re-pair with my watch and instead of setting it up as new, I pressed restore backup on to Watch, it picked up a backup from end of May when I got it."
I'll try this when I get home. Will report back.
[Update] It didn't work, as ocrane claimed. Watch is still on OS 2.
