i put it in everyday, it's definaey a bug, and i've filed it, it just makes me go "how could they have missed this"
The passcode thing didn’t pop up when you first powered up your Apple Watch after update, right?
What beta are both Apple Watch and iPhone are they, and what series/generation are they?
yes when i first powered it up iphone 12 pro and apple watch 7
Speculation btw that’ll be feedback thru Apple.
Beta 9 is out everyone! Get downloading now!
I’m guessing they have not released the Public Beta version yet. I only see the new iOS and iPadOS updates.
Thanks for letting me know about that. Public betas generally release a little after developer releases.
Seems no PB for watch this time. the iOS PB has been out for a while but nothing showing up for watch.
Indoor Rowing Workout BUG: oddly the heart rate is not recorded in the indoor rowing workout. Everything else seems to be okay, but when I do a row, it just doesn't register the heart rate.
Anyone else with an oddity like this? (Reported to Apple)

Sometimes it does that when I row at the gym too. It’s too low of a heart rate it records.
Even my ten minute treadmill walk i did in the home gym in the morning, it is missing 5 minutes on my exercise ring even though I walked ten minutes.
Different calibration going on with the new beta. My battery health dropped from 100% to 99% to 98% after the last two betas. It’s probably more likely that it is 98% vs 100% after a year of use.
Just something I noticed today after updating.

The battery went down a lot today for me too. A long day at school with charging my watch at full after I workout in the morning and after school it got to 17%. Only 7 hours of class and it’s a lot.
Bro what Apple Watch series are you wearing? I’m a series 6.
a complete opposite here ultra2 on latest beta battery performance is very good and its a october 2023 purchase and battery health remains 100% . almost 24 hours since last charge its used 22% normal daily use. *note i don’t use third party apps(carrot unfortunately was the worse for battery drain) and charge only on 3rd day majority of the time
As we are near from release date and I wanted to check my app with watchOS 26, I have installed db9 on my Ultra 2.
It’s really disappointing …
It’s slow, laggy, specially in control center, Apple Card
It’s the most powerful watch and it feels super slow…
Am I alone ?

I don’t encounter any issues you mentioned on my S10. Everything is smooth and the battery life is nice.
I have a Series 10. I haven’t noticed worse battery drain, but it seems they changed the algorithms for the battery health results because there shouldn’t literally be a 1% drop in health in under a week.
