Beta 7 out. UK OTA. Downloading now...even though my 8+ is a bit sluggish from the iOS12 beta update from earlier....

EDIT: Installed

Sports scores have been working consistently the past several days.

Only issue is it doesn’t show scores for make-up games that were originally postponed.

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?

Same here, and it's still not fixed in beta 7.

I also absolutely never seem to be able to get any 3rd party apps (including mine) to show any shortcuts on the Siri watch face. I've even enabled that option in developer settings that should show the most recently added shortcuts on the watch face. Been trying since beta 1, but still nothing.
 
FYI, from the release notes for beta 7:

New Issues - Video faces won't animate (I assume this means Timelapse, Pride, Toy Story, Motion, etc)

Fixes - Series 1 should now show reminders to start Walking Workouts, pairing should be faster and Voice Shortcuts should be available, small Shortcuts images should display properly

I'm sure most of you have seen this, but FTR and for those that haven't, after updating to beta 6, and again after updating to beta 7, this appears in notification centre:

Thats shame. 3 betas with this major issue . I had to stay with non-beta.

Even worse for me...after this update my watch just says "No Mail Account. Setup a new mail account on your iPhone". I've tried everything (minus the stupid unsync/reset fiasco) to get the mail to show up, but it won't....
 
Had a weird issue with Beta 7, it wasn't giving me my stand hours even after moving around several times in the hour. I've restarted it and it seems to be working better now. I also noticed that the moving was a little hesitant on giving me minutes, but after the restart it seems to be working better.

Edit: Okay the stand indicator stopped working again, and as I tried to force restart the watch it started looping as soon as I would enter the password. After about half a dozen times of this, it seemed to stop doing it. I also restarted the phone, which I read could stop the constant restarting of the watch with the apple logo. This beta is worrying me.

I too get into several boot loops whenever I restart the watch with certain watch faces on. It's definitely a problem with this beta, and it seems to be related with Activity complication on a watch face, or any of the Activity watch faces.

Can anyone confirm that "raise to speak" Siri is only available on Series 3? My Series 2 doesn't have the option in Watch settings.
 
Anyone know if OS 5 still has the black status bar? Some youtube leak videos showing it's gone so maybe we won't know until we get new hardware?
