My work-out didn't start from itself, but it did send me a notification when it detected I was not walking anymore.
And I'm pretty excited about the competition. It will start today for 7 days. I'll post more screenshots of the progress later.
[doublepost=1528241291][/doublepost]I finally got it to work. I removed all beta watch profiles and reinstalled the newest beta profiles on my phone. Once I did that it found the update and began to download.
Good luck.
You can just have one AirPods in your ear all the time & if she talk to you in inappropriate time you can just whisper to her to shut up.

I also want to know will there be group talk like the real walkie talkie that more than one person can listening at the same time?
Tell me about it. What is it with watchOS that makes people not get what the “Little things” threads are for?
HINT: IT IS NOT A GENERAL PURPOSE DISCUSSION OR BUG REPORTING THREAD
watchOS 5 beta pulled from Apple:
“Seed 1 of watchOS 5 is temporarily unavailable. We are investigating an issue that may occur while updating. If you’ve experienced any issues, please contact AppleCare.”
So looks like loads of folks like me were unable to successfully install. Will be great to eventually install and then we can get to all the “little things”!

Wow, it's so cool having the podcast app on my watch now. It's a little glitchy but it works.
Some small things: The animations when swiping up from control center is neat. The watch face kinda fades into the background and the center comes up. Same thing with notifications.
Auto detect really does work. I went walking and it asked if was starting an outdoor walk. Cool.
Podcast app is legit. Finally.
Mail shows when it was last updated at the top of the inbox which is nice.
The rings in the activity app are outlined with black along the edges. It looks more pronounced and bolder.

Speaking of Control Center, you can now access Control Center and Notifications from within apps as well.
To do it, you touch and hold for a moment at the top or bottom of the screen, and the associated panel will pop out slightly, then you continue the swipe to open it fully.
The OP's post really needs to be a wiki post...

Hah, I’m sure when I’m meeting with the vice chancellor and dean or the director of marketing and communications for the university or the head of the division of IT that they’ll be cool with my AirPod hanging out!You can just have one AirPods in your ear all the time & if she talk to you in inappropriate time you can just whisper to her to shut up.
Looks like the Astronomy face got a similar update to Solar as well, simplifying the display to remove the corner buttons and date (changing Earth/Moon/Solar System is now done via Customize). Rotating the crown still adjusts the time, but now the wording in the corners is coloured to match what's being viewed (blue for earth, white for moon, solar system is dark yellow).
A little feedback after installing
FIRST TIP - DON'T DO IT .....
I did, on a S2...
* The siri face doesn't work at all for me any more - it tells the time but that's it, the content area remains blank. deleting/readding and removing/readding sources doesn't help
* Even faces like modular have issues with calendar entries not updating when unlocking. Seems to work most of the time but not all
* Accuweather complication doesn't display at all
* The built-in weather complication reports the completely wrong temperature (though is correct when clicked) when set to current location. Forcing to a specific city worked ok. This may relate to iOS issues with location?
* On day 1 my battery life ended up at 10% by end of day. Usually it's 60-85%. Today is starting to look better so this may just have been a glitch
* As others have mentioned walkie talkie isn't there yet
* Workout scheduled for tonight... will see how that goes
[doublepost=1528274045][/doublepost]Weirdly after not working at all yesterday despite reboot, I readded the siri face just now and content has returned...
I did notice a odd dialogue when trying to use paple pay - along the lines of 'apple pay is unavailable until cards have finished updating'. that took 30s.
Siri now back to normal...

Someone already mentioned but had no screens attached, so here it is: WPA2-Enterprise.
This is great, but I wished you could accept the terms on some wifi networks so you can connect!
The Timer app now has "Recents" to allow you to start a timer for the same amount of time you used previously.
can't wait for the walkie-talkie feature; installed without a hitch and I installed both profiles to my iPhone and watch
Wow. There it is! Finally!
I always feel weird trying to explain to people at work about how the Apple Watch uses WiFi, except when at work.
We have three WiFi networks to connect to, and all use 802.11x.
Mods, can you please help us by pinning this post and making the OP a wiki?
Edit: thanks mods!

New somewhat major feature:
The Apple TV is now supported inside the Now Playing app. It can also appear inside the Siri watch face.

The map does work properly after a run, as long as you don’t pause the run in the workout app.
After digging into the health app, where I paused the previous run is where the map stopped and wasn’t displayed in the activity app, but showed in the health app.

Something has changed with this beta but I can’t tell how much or if I just missed it. I wear Bluetooth headphones on conference calls from my phone. With O/S 5, the entire time I am on the call and raise my wrist, the call information is displayed on the watch. If I originate the call from my watch, I can enter the conf call bridge line and password with the keypad on the watch.
I assume the second part was there for previous releases but I do not recall seeing the call info showing on the watch and ending from the watch when the Bluetooth is only with the phone.
