I see the Meridian watch face available to add on the Watch, but not in the Watch app on my iPhone running iOS 13.1 DB 3.

Yeah that’s the same for the new Nike Faces. You can add them on the watch and not on the phone.

Yes I had 13GM on phone and I could see and edit the new watch faces. Today I updated to 13.1 B3 and the phone portion of the new faces is gone, but still accessible on the watch.
 
Will I be able to unpair my aw2, which is on the latest beta (not gm), and pair it to a new phone that is on ios13?
 
Anyone getting issues with notifications on apple watch with WatchOS 6 GM?

It was working fine in earlier version, but all of a sudden I am getting notifications only from Activity, Mail and Messages apps.

Its not coming from any 3rd party app like whatsapp, gmail, etc. I was getting all notifications earlier.

I checked settings in notifications of watch as well as phone, and its enabled there.
 
Me too, all seem buggy, and mail is hit and miss

Where can I download Watch OS 6 GM without developer's account?

this is whats confusing me. various articles all say the same thing, go to developer.apple.com from your phone and select apple watch os and download profile. all I get when I do that is a link for xcode 11 gm seed.
 
Never have battery life so bad as OS 6GM. Hope this gets fixed.


**Update**
I unpaired and paired the watch again, did not load any 3rd party apps and the battery is back to normal.

I installed WatchOS6 GM last night and had horrendous battery life today. I normally go on a morning run for an hour where I’m using cellular and GPS and then go throughout my day, which involves heavy notifications since I work from home and get constant email notifications. I can normally end the day with >25%, easily.

Today, starting the day at 100% with very light notifications, I was at 10% by 6:30p.

Hope there’s an update to address this.
 
Sorry to hear people are having battery problems with GM. For my S3 I am back to two full days of battery life with no workouts (broken clavicle, so a bit more sedentary than normal).
 
Just a thought but I wonder whether the battery drain is due to pairing the watch OS 6 release with IOS 13x bettas.
 
If you look at page one it says yes

No. It says that watchOS 6 is compatible but it says nothing about watchOS 6 GM. I’m asking because Apple says that although watchOS 6 is coming on Sep 19th it won’t be available for Series 1 & 2 until later on.
 
I was shocked at the battery life. I used the watch with Strava yesterday for the Emmitt Smith Gran Fondo. Strava was running for a full 5 hours. I was expecting to see 30% at best and really I was hoping it would just last the whole race, to my surprise it was at 65% when I finished. Extremely happy with the GM on my Series 4.
 
For future OS updates, do we still need to update through the phone or we can just update from the watch since there's an update option built into Watch OS 6.

It seems like it’s still the phone. Downloads via that and you have to accept the download on the phone. Well, that’s how it was all through the betas.

Seems like it’s a hit or miss at the moment. I hope it’s the first day or two on GM that’s different
 
Why does the activity only capture part of the time of the exercise? I just went for an outdoor walk and done more than half hour, but in the app it only captures 16 minutes.?
