WatchOS 5.2: All The Little Things!

[gwhizkids]

I’ve never really gotten a answer: what exactly does 5.2 offer? Apparently, there are new new features. Performance improvement?

Good question. I’ve not noticed a single change expect, I think, 3rd party complications seem to load much quicker now on start-up.

I think this was a "keep up with the Joneses" update (to have the numbering system remain consistent with iOS). Otherwise, it would probably be a 5.1.x version.

Hey all. Am I right in thinking that, unlike the messages complication, the email variant does NOT show a number for unread emails still (ie it’s always a solid blue envelope which never changes)? TIA

Anyone please?

 

[GC251114]

Anyone please?

The stock email complication does not show unread count badges on any of the watch faces.

Thanks. That’s very odd considering the messages one does. Thanks again.

That’s unfortunate, was hoping some
New features to be introduced. I guess this build is more focused on performance improvement.

New Beta Today

 

[j0nblayz]

any useful release notes?

Tell me there is now seconds on the digital watch faces?

Ok, there is.

But I would be lying...

My series 4 is getting very bad battery life since Beta 3.
Now lasts only half a day where it normally would be minimum 2 days,
Anyone else noticed something like that?

Battery life is definitely worse since the last couple betas, but not unexpected since it's beta software.

I am not seeing any difference in my battery life. Seems to be the same before I jumped on the beta (3) and now on beta 4. Usually by the end of the day I am at 75%. Today I left the house at 7am 99% and now 241pm 89%.

Absolutely no difference for me

 

[bthompson]

I think the battery is draining a little faster than before the betas, but to be expected

Does anyone see any improvements on the Siri watch face? I heard that some people see more data from 3rd party apps on the last beta.

Finally, something which, if true, would get me to move to the beta!

Since I really did not use the Siri face that often, I cannot tell if it has been improved.
Checking it out - I get 11 tiles, with these 3rd party apps in the scroll:
Just Press Record, Carrot, Fantastical...Podcasts is there too

Hmm Carrot and Fantastical does already works with it. i expected to see something new. Thanks for checking.

Just tried using Just Press Record, but it is not shown on the stable version for now.

Just out of curiosity, why do we do watchOS new features as this single long thread that makes it annoyingly difficult to identify changes between point releases of watchOS? Why not do it like the iOS threads where each release gets its own thread?
