WatchOS 5.2: All The Little Things!

Has anyone noticed that since beta 5, and continuing into beta 6; they're receiving a massively increased number of exercise minutes and move calories during "idle activity"? i.e. you're doing things, but not to the point of exercising.

Week over week, my awarded calories are up about ~40% from watchOS 4–watchOS 5 beta 4, compared to watchOS 5 beta 5-6; I can even be making breakfast, and visibly watching my move calories tick up. Have filed a radar.

I've noticed I get more for my daily dog walk. Normally an hour walk gives me about 10-15 mins exercise - now it seems nearer to 45 mins.

Same issue for me. At the same time getting credit for standing has been harder

Yes!!! It’s been driving me crazy. I’m getting awarded for sitting in my butt haha.

But my wife, who is not on the beta, has noticed the same thing.
 
Battery drain is fine on my Series 3 (GPS only). Started the day at 100% 5 hours ago, it's midday now and I'm at 97%.
 
so anyone get this update to show up? I reinstalled both profiles on iPhone/Watch, restarted, and still gives me an error that I am not connected to the internet.
 
Motion, Timelapse and Toy Story faces don‘t animate anymore. They show a static image when switching to them but when I tap them or raise my wrist again I only get an empty/black background. Re-adding and restarting the watch didn‘t help. Anyone else having this issue?

You have to login to the developer site and report it there.

Then someone who has this issue and a dev account might want to report it, since unfortunately I don‘t have one. Will keep continue reporting iOS bugs when I encounter them though.

No, same here. I really need to get it to work. I don't want to try other mail clients .
Overal I mentioned that notifications dont work great. Some times I miss one or two.

I’ve actually had to turn on sound now on my iPhone so I get my mail notifications
 
The activity watchface shows empty rings, while the activity app shows the gathered data. That's new in beta 6.

I tried everything and notifications still not appearing on Watch.

Yep what I meant was I have the sound back on the iPhone so I can hear notifications from that, rather than using the vibration on the watch. The watch only receives notifications from apps and not mail at all :(
