I use the Carrot weather complication. It does show the temperature and the weather condition in one complication.
Got a tip for us?

A couple of things I have noticed with this new beta:
- the activity rings don't seem to be updating on the modular face. Other faces are ok but not the modular ones
- battery doesn't seem to be as good as previous betas. My normal wearing of the watch is I charge it to 100% before I go to bed. Wear it all night and then go workout for a couple of hours in the morning. Previously, the watch would be no worse that 77% - most of the time around the low 80's. After the new beta I have noticed it closer to the low 60's. It does charge fast but seems to drain faster too.
Those are the only things I have noticed, everything else works as expected. I haven't had a chance to use walkie talkie but that will be interesting when it goes live.
Beta 2 items that haven't happened in Beta 3:
- The watch did notice when it looked like I started an exercise - mainly asked if I started a walk but it noticed so that was fine *** it hasn't done this yet.
- The watch noticed I started an exercise when I was on the elliptical BUT I had already started the activity. I would think it would know that but I had to dismiss it and the original activity was not interrupted.

Thanks for this! Do you feel like beta 3 is good enough to use as a daily driver now? Tempted to update and don't mind minor bugs as long as the watch works well overall.
I use mine as a daily driver and I have no issues with daily items - reminders, time, weather... the issues I mentioned are the only ones I have really encountered.
Walk-in Talkie for me is on the watch App but says no Walker Talkie contacts have been added. Maybe you have to have at least one for it to show ?
Resync in General / reset / resync contact data

Turn it off in settings on the watch.

No, but is it listed in the Apps on your phone ?

Walkie Talkie uses FaceTime audio. Check FaceTime. Try resetting it and restart the phone.
I have gotten one of those. I also received an odd one late in the day Beta 3 was released and installed on my S2:
The reset sync didn’t work for me, neither did resetting and repairing the entire watch. When I click reset sync it actually does nothing at all.

Same exact problems here!
Just looked at my watch and all my contacts are synced up again in messages on my watch. Weird I tell ya!!
I was going to post something about this also, but moving had me a bit "busy". All of the sudden I noticed my contacts back on my watch. So I'm not sure if the "Reset" setting that someone posted about earlier just finally took or what the trigger was. Anywho, there are my contacts again.
The release notes state that contacts might not "immediately sync", which does suggest they will eventually sync, it just might take a while (although the next radar they list says that all contacts might disappear too, but will remain on the paired iPhone).
