WatchOS 5.2: All The Little Things!

On the Siri watch Face what is currently available via 3rd party apps if at all?

They said you could get live sport scores..this available yet?
 
So two quick questions, I updated to watch OS beta 3 and I have noticed that time travel does not seem to work anymore. I also do not see anyone to enable this unless that option has been removed?

Also for some reason my contacts are not showing in the Apple Watch, only the phone numbers. Same with my calandra events.

I have tried resetting sync data. Any help?

Pretty sure Time Travel is officially dead in watchOS 5.

And the contact syncing is very common, it's even in the release notes...someone a few comments above detailed a fix.

I use the Carrot weather complication. It does show the temperature and the weather condition in one complication.

I tried using that but don't you find that it doesn't update nearly often enough?

Carrot complications not updating enough is an Apple Watch restriction, it updates as much as Apple allows.
 
I thought Apple Watch series 3 16GB of storage could be utilized properly by storing a lot of music. Now in watchOS beta 3, I always have some hard time putting enough songs on the watch. I thought there was not enough space, but this is not the case. Not a huge deal for me but definitely not fun to see this happen. Why have a 16GB storage option in the first place then, if we cannot fill it with stuff?

I've had this too! It says I don't have enough space, but I know for a fact I have plenty. Rather annoying to be honest and hope they sort this out.

I think the app is acting goofy in terms of updating on the beta. The developer is probably waiting to update his app this fall.
 
- Invoke without saying Hey Siri when you raise your wrist

Does this work on series 2? I am running beta 3 but I dont have the option in settings > siri to turn this on. weird

If anyone is experiencing contact sync issues in this version, a workaround is to unpair your watch from your iPhone, downgrade your phone to iOS 12 Beta 2 using iTunes (Pretty easy to find an IPSW online and doesn't delete any data off your phone), then re-pair your Watch to your phone and finally update your phone back to iOS 12 beta 3. The contact sync issue seems to be a problem with iOS 12 beta 3, not watchOS, so downgrading your phone lets them sync.

I have a S2 and I don't even have a Siri tab under Settings...

I'm aware, I just don't think it's often enough. It doesn't really matter who is at fault, just that I can't rely on the Carrot complication for current weather conditions. So I'm stuck with two separate complications for the stock Weather app.
 
I am not able to download the update. Anybody else having an issue? I have deleted the profiles and re-installed them but no luck. I was able to update the phone but not the watch.

I finally got it to work. Installing now.

I agree, but developers are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The siri tab would be under settings on the watch itself, not in the watch app on the iPhone.

Want to share how? Mine still won’t update. Reinstalled profiles. Happens every time!
 
Can’t update here. Reinstalled profile, reset watch, nothing... update doesn’t show

I was stuck also.... I noticed that while reinstalling the watch profile, it asked me to reboot the iPhone. Checked the profiles installed on the iPhone and it had installed both the iOS and watchOS profiles. Deleted the watchOS one and reinstalled. This second time the message to reboot the watch prompted. Nothing else...

Not there for me, Series 2.

I have a Siri setting under Settings > General on a Series 2 but the only option is for “Hey Siri.” It doesn’t say anywhere on the watchOS 5 site that only S3 gets the new feature though...can any S3 owners confirm that there is a setting for it?

Is anyone else not getting email notifications with the newest beta. They show up but make no sound and do not vibrate.
