I encountered these frame drops on previous beta but this one is so smooth.
Got a tip for us?

watchOS 26 Beta Thread

Maybe we get used…
But the watchOS 11 to 26 is super visible…
I have done it on a s7 and it’s the same.
We certainly don’t get 60fps anymore in some areas like control center

Latest dev beta is making me intervene if I want to fully charge the watch. Any ideas how to turn this feature off? I’ve looked in the watch app
Is it optimised charge limit? I don’t have it kicking in on my S6 as often versus when I first bought it, but I only saw it go on one time since my watch got used to charging regularly.
Yes. It did it a couple of times but now seems to have sorted itself out.
well my mic stopped working again and the usual tricks to bring it back arent working. :/
Not even a restart, right?
Can you clean your Apple Watch and check to make sure the microphones aren’t blocked 🚫 off? Take off any cases if you use it.
its clear, theres no case, restart didnt help, cycling low power mode didnt help. Now when I tried to use the mic again to set a timer via siri, I felt the haptic kick, then it went black and pinwheeled, then came back and still didnt work.
Interestingly, I cannot stream errors off my watch to the macOS console anymore either.

To Xcode simulator?
Can you also cycle water lock and eject out any liquid debris off your watch?
Looks like your AW may need to be looked at at an Apple Store if this last solution ain’t helping you.
I did that. this is just a software issue. its a babied apple watch ultra 2. It's in good physical condition, its just running a crappy beta.
erasing and pairing the apple watch to the phone again.....
the watch app on the phone wont let me continue until I put a space at the end of the autofilled password and then remove the space. weird.....
watch is restored from backup....
mic still doesnt work. :/
Cycling water lock doesnt work.
xcode simulator....fixed console.
Console shows "unknown color space", failed ioctl SIOCGIFNEXUS, ipsec4 ring ipsec4 failed, and a bunch of "AFKEndpointInterfaceUserClient(AFKEndpointInterfaceUserClient:0x100000992)" errors.

So it is indeed a software issue. Report it to the feedback assistant and also be on the lookout for watchOS 26 RC it should come out shortly after the iPhone Apple event
Did you have a chance to also chat with AppleCare about it to see if it was hardware related in any way?

OMG we can FINALLY create and personalize workouts directly from the iPhone Fitness app. Greatest update of all time
Has anyone running the watchOS beta on an S9 or S10 (or AWU2) been able to confirm if the sleep score shown today on the new watches is going to be made available on any older models?
The hypertension detection coming to S9, S10, and AWU2; and it sounds like the S11 is the same SOC as the S10 so it seems like the hardware to do should at least be in the S10.

Sleep score is already available on iOS 26 RC. WatchOS 26 RC didn't even finish updated yet and I already have a sleep score on passed night. I run a series 8
I just saw this. Why did this take so long?? This is so much better than doing it on the little watch screens.
probably because they needed it now that AirPods have heart rhythm since it doesn't have a screen (that's even how they announced it without talking about Apple Watch). An once it's implemented..
Anyone notice the compare page for watches shows the Wrist Flick gesture as " --- " for the Series 10 and the Ultra 2? Maybe this is a mistake? I've already had it for a while on my Ultra 2 with the beta. Unless they are taking it away from us to keep it for the new watches only? If so, that would be pretty crappy of Apple.
Y’all gotta update to the RC on my Apple Watch Series 6! Watched the event today and it’s amazing how the new straps look! 👀 and hypertension monitoring on the series 11 seems interesting!
Awesome! Guess what? All Apple Watch Ultra models can rock this super cool face on the watchOS 26 RC!
I’m really excited about the Series 11 release faces. I’m planning to install it and give it a whirl on my S6.
Just so you know, I’m updating my iPhone 15 Pro first to RC, then my watch ⌚️!
Until watchOS 26 is out to the public, they will update it once it’s out with these features
