Are there settings for adjusting the start and end to your day?
I sometimes wake up around 1pm. That means that I often miss my stand goal, even though I'm up later past 12am when I should be getting credit for my current day stand goal.
watchOS should be able to define your day as the 24 hour period between when you wake up and put on your watch and take off your watch to go to bed, not a strict midnight to midnight. I'm happy to stand up once an hour for 12 hours but those of us who wake up after 12pm don't stand a fair chance to complete the stand goal.

I face the issue that when I do a workout started on the Apple Watch with a connected external heartrate monitor (polar h10) the Apple Watch records heartrate from both, the external monitor (correct) as well as the apple watch (which is MUCH too low); so I do get very inaccurate results with a non-smooth heartrate line...
can anyone confirm? Is this a know issue?

I have noticed if I am up past midnight I get credit for that hour for that day. For example - I go to bed after 2am, I have credit for 3 hours of standing up. If I wake up after 1pm the count continues starting with the 4th hour of stand up. I know it doesn't make it consecutive but it does count for your 12 hours in a 24 hour period.
There are times I get credit for walking up in the middle of the night if I have to go to the bathroom
- I use my watch as my alarm so I wear it at night.Yep, if you're up past midnight, any standing is still counted in that next day anyway. So if you're a shift worker and regularly are awake until, for example, 5 AM, then you get home and go to sleep and wake up later in the day, when you wake up you'll already have those 5 stand hours complete.
It thus doesn't matter when your day starts, there's exactly the same opportunity to complete 12 stand hours as long as you were wearing your watch. Here's an example, where going to bed after 2 AM meant there were 3 stand hours already complete when waking up:

A new update is out for WatchOS5. I presume a fix for install. Slightly worrying, though I'm sure it's cosmetic, the label is set to 'iOS 5.0', though the description refers to watchOS 5. I guess just a typo.... Hmmm. The version is near identical at 16E5283r (was q) so I imagine a tiny packaging fix only
(I'm already on the beta so will likely leave it until b2)

Has anyone had it install properly on a series 2? Mine bricked and I just got it back from Apple (actually sent me a new replacement) and don’t want to go through that again.
This is the reason they pulled it last week and it is being reissued today and installed with no prob
Awesome, thanks. I knew that was why they had pulled it but just a little hesitant about trying it again.
How long did it take to install the updated beta?
Mine still has the Apple logo and still rebooting 20 minutes already.

Any luck?
Installed on my series 2 just fine. Took about half an hour, was pretty fast!
Had to unpair the watch and set up as new. That seemed to fix it.
My activity small complication isn’t working after updating, even after a reboot, but it is working on the activity watch faces.
Anyone else notice this?
EDIT: I deleted the Siri watch face and re-added it and now it works

Auto start of a Workout didn’t work for me (began a very fast outdoor walk not a run). Guessing it was because I didn’t start running. Auto stop of my workout did work properly though and that was cool.
Also, I’m not getting the Flights Climbed stat in my Activity app on my Watch. Wonder if that’s only for folks with an S3 Watch since it has a barometer which I don’t think my S2 has.

Has anyone installed the revised beta 1 on an S1 yet? I'm holding back to see if there are any issues.
Interestingly Apple's developer site says "watchOS 5 beta supports Apple Watch Series 2 or later", which suggests Series 1 isn't supported in the beta yet. This could just be a typo, but the release notes indicate some things that don't work specifically on Series 1, so maybe they haven't got support enabled for it in beta 1.
