WatchOS 5.2: All The Little Things!

Anyone notice that the perfect month award doesn’t show up for June?

I rebooted both watch and iPhone still doesn’t show up. 🙁

My challenge for June showed up properly.

I’m running iOS 12 beta 2 and watchOS 5 beta 2.
 
This morning I was talking to my wife and my watch responded. I was sure I didn’t say “Hey Siri...”, so I checked and sure enough, raise to speak is working. It wasn’t before, so maybe it is a backend Siri thing at Apple that just got turned on. Pretty sweet.

Update: It wasn’t working this morning on my drive to Church. So I figured maybe it only worked on wireless. That was the case. Works for me at home connnected to my wireless. FYI, I have the Series 3, non-LTE version.

So I already completed my July challenge... and I have another one for July. What gives Apple.

But the bummer, I completed my perfect month of June but didn’t get the award. 🙁
 
Sure hope Apple comes out with beta 3.

My June perfect month doesn’t show up and my weekly progress doesn’t show up. 🙁
 
I did some more experimenting with raise to talk today. It definitely works seemlessly when I am at home in range of my WiFi and connected to my phone. Put my phone into airplane mode at home and Siri came on when I raised my wrist to ask a question, but could not complete the request. Just left the house (away from WiFi) and tried again. Did not work when raising my wrist. However I found that if I tapped on the watch screen first to wake it up, then used Siri without “Hey Siri” it worked. So seems to work normally at home on WiFi network, but only by first tapping on screen to wakeup when on cellular.

Update: I noticed that when I put my phone into Airplane Mode at home, my watch didn’t seem to connect to my home WiFi (which I thought it was supposed to do). So I went into the settings app on my watch and added the password to my WiFi and my watch connected. Using raise to talk on my watch when connected to WiFi without my phone on also worked seamlessly.

ok, so raise to speak is now working. Must be a 'server side' activation from Apple. I'm in the UK.

I used it perfectly in the car today, reminders,,, play music, directions.

I'm sat in a meeting now and Siri spoke and said was I asking her a question, so I guess the screen must have been lit and she thought I was talking to her.

I hope beta 3 comes out today. My awards in activity on the iPhone hangs and I can’t see anything.

Anyone else notice this?

I've been having the same problem since the release of iOS 12 beta 1 and watchOS 5 beta 1. Not sure if it's iOS or watchOS problem, but it is frustrating. Also, no activity badges are showing in iMessage. I have submitted bug reports, and it is mentioned on the Apple developer forum, although it doesn't get mentioned frequently so it must not be a universally widespread problem.

Sports scores on the Siri face are still not working for me
I know for some of you this is working.

So it's funny I've been talking to Siri about the World Cup a ton, and the only Sports info that is showing is for the Chicago Bears Hall of Fame game against the Ravens. As for Raise to Speak it's also working on my S3 LTE. And I have the WiFi off on my watch, and I must say the battery is lasting a lot longer. Sorry as I haven't kept any metrics on this but maybe I should. 🙂
 
On watchOS 5, does anyone have the Siri raise to speak feature working on Apple Watch Series 1?

On Beta 2, my watch is reporting 2.6GB of emails but the watch mail app does not load any. I can’t seem to remove them and now my storage is full. Anyone else had this issue?
 
Regarding the raise to talk thing, has any of you tried in any language other than english? It does not seem to work in spanish... it might be also a region thing?
 
Hmmm now that we are getting into to the third beta versions of watchOS/iOS, I'm feeling the pull to install them. My only concern is always battery drain.

I don't remember who here recommended it but I turned off my WiFi on my S3 LTE and it had a great increase on Battery life.
