Yes I’ve had the same and reported it. I do a lot of running and after the VO2 max dropped, it has remained pretty much the same for a few weeks now. I’d have expected it to be higher based on my previous running patterns.

Weirdly no changes on my end. Btw I usually do my runs and walks on the treadmill since I’ve been going to the gym 💪 for two weeks
 
iPhone 16 pro ios 26 beta 7.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 watchOS beta 7

Keep getting this message when trying to sync music to my watch. Reset watch once and still the same. Any thoughts?

Check your Bluetooth settings and WiFi settings on both iPhone and Apple Watch.
 
Checked both and everything is set correctly and both on same WiFi network. Have no problem syncing everything else for ex app installs

Maybe I’m just missing someone. Did they remove the Natural color in watchOS 26? I’ve been using this color with the Contour face for at least a year now, decided to play around with different colors yesterday and tried to switch back to the Natural this morning. I can’t find it anymore.

Did it resolve your issue, dude?
Can you also restart your iPhone 16PM?

It’s still there. You just have to add it back under “fall 2024” by hitting the plus button and adding the colors:

Got it, thanks. Also make sure to put feedback IDs so y’all else with this issue can report it too. Cheers 👋🏻
 
I'm having some issues with workout buddy. It starts fine whenever I start a workout, but half way into it giving an intro and some summary, it gets abruptly cut-off and either the workout continues or the music kicks in.

It keeps quiet until the next trigger. However, it's very annoying when it gets cut-off when starting the workout. Anyone facing this and is there any solution for this? I've registered a feedback.

Anyone else noticed VO2 Max dropping after installing the latest Public Beta? I have had VO2 Max 'readings' going back for some time and they are pretty constant. After installing the Public beta my V02 max estimate dropped 5 points ( that's a lot)

I did a 5k Parkrun yesterday so let’s see if there’s any change in VO2 max.

Seems like I’m having that too, lately this past week since I installed this beta I only heard the intro once. Been using workout buddy more often since I started using the weight training equipment at the gym 💪.

Beta 8 out
will install later on my AW6, 1st day of school for me.

I hope workout buddy bug is fixed and gives the intro again.
This takes forever. First attempt to download failed. Now finally downloaded and installing...
Is the Wi-Fi coverage in your area good? Make sure the watch and/or iPhone aren’t in cellular or airplane mode.
 
Animations on beta 8 with my AW Ultra (1) are still lower frame rate. Not very smooth at all. With it being beta 8, I’m not expecting it to get any better unfortunately.
 
Update on music syncing issues i noticed a few days ago.
I just updated iPhone to iOS 26 Beta 8. Haven’t updated the watch. Seems like music is starting to sync again.
So might have been a glitch related to the Watch app in iOS

Any in particular? All seems fine on my AWU2 but I’m not a heavy user so may not be looking at the same thing
 
Beta 8 is very smooth
Battery still quite unstable, 2hrs dropped from full to 68%… after update.

Apologise for delay in responding y’all school started today! Will test if workout buddy has an intro working tomorrow when I hit the gym 💪!

Have you tried turning on/off low power mode to see if it resets the frame rate
Not applicable on my end, still is fine in refresh rate on my series 6
 
ultra2 battery went to sleep at 100% woke up at 97%(always sleep with watch on). 1 hour morning walk workout with two phone calls on watch bunch of usual notifications now at 92% . so in short 12 hours battery from 100% to 92% think that’s quite impressive. previous beta was using roughly around 10% during sleep periods overnight.
