When I turn off Bluetooth on the watch, I get much closer to normal Battery Life. The watch does everything (it can) using Wi-Fi.
So one of my guesses on battery drain is badly maintaining an active Bluetooth connection to the iPhone.
Hi,
I personally don’t have any problems with my Series 4 (44mm Nike+), battery life is really good (i usually finish the day with ~65% of battery).
One question for the Nike+ Series 4 owners:
The only bug i have encountered is that i can’t select the full screen mode of the Nike+ Analogue watch face. I only have four styles that all have colored numbers and a black background, but i’d like to have the numbers in black/white and the background colored. I have the same problem on both the watch and Watch app on my XS Max so maybe Apple removed it?
To illustrate :
This is what i can have:
This is what i’d like:
Thank you very much for reading,
Best,

Anyone able to update to beta 4?
I get unable to check for update.
I get unable to check for update.
I noticed my watch faces in the watch app on the iPhone takes a long time to show up. Anyone else notice this?
Reinstalled the profile and did a hard reset on both devices but I can't see the new beta ...
Same. Tried deleting and reinstalling the beta profile. Still getting error message.
Saw a message on another thread that worked for me.
-Delete profile
-Restart watch
-Download profile
-Restart Watch
-Update
-Delete profile
-Restart watch
-Download profile
-Restart Watch
-Update
Took four tries deleting and adding the profile before it finally worked. Hopefully this process will improve going forward.
that’s what I did too, but unfortunately it wouldn’t install. Looks like it was hit and miss, mostly miss, so your lucky.
Important to note that the release notes highlight in bold that you must upgrade your iPhone to iOS beta 4 before updating your watch to WatchOS 6 Beta 4.
As with some others, this did not work for me on the first try, and also did not work after 4th or 5th try. Yes, I updated iOS 13 Beta first, in case there are those "it worked for me the first time" skeptics who may think otherwise. However, what I did get on try number 2-5 was "cannot find watch" or something to that effect. What finally did work for me were these steps: (1) Delete Profile (2) Restart watch (3) Download and Install Profile (4) Restart Watch (5) Restart Phone. (6) Update. Hope that helps.
Beta 4 and Reminders still will not sync to my watch. This is nuts. You’d think the most basic aspect of an app would work by the 4th beta, even if there are other bugs.
Tried this a couple of times but kept getting the same bad results.
Then I tried to going to settings/software update on the Apple watch itself and the correct update showed up.
When I went back to software update on the watch app on the phone, the update also showed up. After that it just worked.
