Rly? Which series and size Apple Watch is it?

 

[Grayburn]

iOS 27 developer beta installed Monday. Spontaneously rebooted today (Friday). I’m in the house doing nothing. AW ultra 3.

Anyone else?

Had a few too on my Ultra 3.

Just tried to set a timer on beta 5, it says it can't. Ugh.

Same here. Tried disabling/enabling betas/updates and rebooting both devices.

what model Apple Watch do you have, and did you file feedback ?

 

[mcvaughan]

Hopefully some better performance with today’s beta 6!

Touch performance is not really bad but better battery life will definitely welcomed

Can set a timer with Siri on beta 6 on the ultra 3. It's slow but it is working!

 

[jason1609]

My Ultra 3 doesn't recognise that I've got it on, it's been escalated to engineers.

It is a MIRACLE!!!

After installing Beta 6 on my S11 Ti, I can now set a simple timer! It hesitated about 30 seconds but actually worked! 🤪

Anything related to Siri is quite slow. Timers, HomeKit commands etc.

Absolutely. I just hope we don’t have to rely on faster watches for this to improve. Whilst it’s on a beta, we have no right to complain about the speed, but once it’s public release, if it’s this slow, that will be absolutely unacceptable.

 

[AppleForeverandEver]

It is rather sad as we are getting close to September and this is Beta 6 and it seems like instead of a step forward, Siri has “stumbled”‼️

I'm really disappointed with Siri's responsiveness in the betas. I always thought on-device Siri with my AWU 3 was pretty great, but watchOS 27 has made it so slow and unreliable as to become useless.

 

[Fr. Guido Sarducci]

My iPhone and iPad are both still optimizing, perhaps I’ll see overall improvement once its it’s completed.

It doesn't seems that anything is on-device anymore. Things like a "open X app" now take ages. this makes it even more disappointing that they decided to axe support for Series 8 and Ultra 1, since nothing seems to be done on-device.

It seems like a huge step back for my usage. I'd opt out of Siri AI on my watch and go back to basic Siri if it was still on-device. If I needed something more advanced I'd rather use my phone.

same as well my watch aint compatible with Siri AI and watchOS 27, but I'd use my iPhone 15 pro ! and the MacBook Pro for the most advanced features .

indexing, right? why our iPhones still reindex every beta update? makes no sense.

 

[martin2345uk]

I am baffled how Siri is still so slow after so many Betas, but it can't be long now before it's a bit snappier!

 

[deadcantdance]

Beta 6 is worse. Activity rings are often empty, sleep tracking stopped working this night.

Hope Beta 7 has the basics working.

 

[djkasmic]

Bet 2a on Ultrs 3 - unable to check for update.

Same problem for me on Beta 5.

Already deleted the watch, installed is a new... still no luck.

 

[martin2345uk]

My Watch app on the iPhone now just sits on "Checking for update"... anyone else?

 

[eyespy03]

Odd. I updated to beta 6 on the release, and it has been working flawlessly on my AU3. Did my first charge this morning since the release. Notifications, Rings, and even SiriAI are working (she is slower than normal), but she works.
