Hi all! What does "activity ring is now filled when doing more intensive exercise" mean?

I still get no vibration or sound for emails. Super annoying!
This is really annoying. I know it’s a beta so I’m not going to rant, but I’m really looking forward to it getting fixed.
Can anyone confirm if the Workout app is lagging less now at start? On my S2 (according to google all versions are affected) the Workout app starts fine but it takes 5-15 seconds before you can scroll through the activities.
Apparently this issue was introduced with WatchOS4 and currenty only temporarily fixed witha restart of the AW.
Apple even sent me a new AW as the support is unable to fix it so hoping its solved in version 5.

I had the same delay in watchOS 4, it has been fixed in watchOS 5. No issues starting a workout and no lag at all.
My activity rings on the watch complication aren't updating (show up as empty on watch face), but show up when I click on the complication which takes me to the Activity app on the watch . However, the Activity app data on the watch doesn't appear to be syncing to the Activity app on my iPhone whatsoever. This worked in prior Watch OS 5 betas so seems to be new, at least for me.
Mine weren’t updating until I hard rebooted the watch. Hold both buttons until you see the Apple logo)
Thanks for this suggestion. I tried this twice but it didn't seem to work. I'm considering unpairing and repairing the watch but hate to go that route.
I couldn’t get the app to detect beta 5. Tried hard rebooting both phone and watch but still no luck.
One thing that I noticed is the my WatchOS beta profile is no longer listed within the Watch app. It used to be there in beta 2 or 3. It is now shown in the phone’s System, next to the iOS developer profile. Is that normal?

No... I have the watch beta profile on the watch and iOS beta profile on the phone.
Try removing the beta profiles reboot iPhone and watch then install beta profile on each reboot again and try to install the beta.
Thank you. I deleted and installed both iOS and WatchOS profiles. Problem solved.
Also, if it fails again you can try to reset sync data (phone watch app-general-reset-reset sync data) when you click it it seems like it did nothing but it does fix a lot of sync issues (like iMessage contacts coming up as their phone numbers etc) could work with activities rings I suppose.
My battery is pretty normal - S3 SSSB I get just shy of 2 days on the betas. The current beta I installed yesterday and battery down to 70% with a standby of 18 hours
This is the only issue I have with the beta. Everything else is fine, but no alerts or vibrations for mail. Annoying, but it will be fixed.
The main issue that I still see is the battery life with certain workouts. I’ve even disabled cellular on my Series 3 LTE. Working out using other seems fine and burns about 10% per hour. Very consistent. Doing a two hour golf workout will burn 30-40%. Very consistent. Phone in my pocket, LTE disabled makes no difference. Previous versions before OS5 would burn about 10-15% of the battery golfing for two hours.
I've had issues with contact names showing up, as well as my activity ring not updating. I tried to add a card to apple pay last night and today and it had issues communicating with my watch. I finally caved and re-paired my watch to my phone. Everything seems to be working better, but that remains to be seen. I'm wondering if raise to speak for siri will ever come to the series 2. Does anybody know?
Edit: Contact names reappeared after re-pairing! So if anyone is having this issue just re-pair your watch to your phone

Mine did the same. Delete the profile and reinstall if you beat 5, but I wouldn’t, it’s terrible.
