watchOS 6 > What features are you most excited about?

Sorry, I thought the AQI complication (which is also new) was the Noise Complication. It seems like, at least on the older watches the Noise detection will happen on the background since there is an option to turn it on the Watch App.

And this is the calculator App on my S2.

That might be the case:(. I have a series 4 and the noise app and complication are available and functional for me.

Thanks you thunder025! I was able to find it, it looks like it's only available within the Notification section right now, not an app or anything. It's likely they haven't put the app into play just yet.

Can you now put the Podcast Comp on the Infograph or Infograph Modular faces? I have been waiting for them to add that for literally a year! I use those faces but still have to have an "Old" face to swipe to since they never added a Podcast complication to the 2 faces mentioned above. Every update I keep waiting for them to add it.

Have you tried just adding it to your dock? Then you just have to press the side button to get to it, no matter what face you're on.

AQI is not new. It was added when the Series 4 was released just like all the other infograph complications.

Same with Series 3
[doublepost=1559750326][/doublepost]Installed last night, don’t see calculator or noise app or complications. Cycle tracking and Rain complications are there though. Runs smooth overall on Series 3

Calculator app is on my Series 3. Noise app isn't.

My battery life went from about 2 days to about 8 hours since upgrading to WatchOS 6. This is disappointing.

First day this happened to me. Second day it was back to normal.

I'm sure everyone knows this but just incase you need ios 13 on your phone to use WOS6

Does the iOS need to be the developer beta or will it work with the public beta?

And what would happen if I install watchOS 6 with iOS 12?

It will work with the public beta, available in July. You won't be able to use your watch with watch OS 6 and iOS 12 as many have already found out.

Watchos6 has a couple of hidden features that are sort of neat for data geeks like myself. You can view all of your ACTIVITIES on the watch the day you perform them. Also, you can dive into the activity and even into the laps for walking/running/hiking. Furthermore, there is a button is settings (don't know why its there) called Health, which has your latest data for multiple metrics, such as workouts, VO2 Max, Flights, etc. Pretty cool stuff.
Click to expand...

Does this give you a view of activities from all apps that write to Health, or just the default Workout app?

I’ve been using the Healthface app so I can see the time when someone asks me 5 mins after a race how well I did....but it’s not exactly a nice solution.

I'm digging the new watch faces. FINALLY we can see seconds displayed with a digital face. Only took four years ...

The Infograph has had the ability to display digital seconds since the series 4 was released. Before that, the Activity face has had the ability to show digital seconds for quite some time now. You're "FINALLY" is unjustified considering the Activity face came out in I think watchOS 2 or 3.

Wow, thanks for sharing. You're absolutely right - there were two heinous options prior to iOS 6, if we wanted to see digital seconds displayed (one really tiny, one massive and ugly) ... What I ended up doing was leaving it on Infograph Modular most of the time, and swiping over to Infograph when I was at/near the train station every day. And then going back to Infograph Modular once I caught the train. And now, I don't have to. FINALLY.

Same here. But I’m more into the California WatchFace, because of the options you get.

Okay I REALLY like your two colour combos here - amazing we finally get the full screen analogue in California that Nike/Hermes have had exclusively for so long.

Damn September is long out. Might jump on at beta 2 or 3

Interesting... I have Calculator and the Noise Complication on Series 2. They also redesigned list view for the apps, looks much better now.

It is running smoother on it too, most times even better than 5.

That is good to hear.. gives me hope for my Series 1.

In case anyone was wondering. No new watch faces for Series 2 on WatchOS 6 beta 1.

EDIT: I restarted my phone, what I said above is not entirely true.

Numerals Duo and Numerals Mono are available.

What does the Series 2 get/not get in Watch OS6 (besides the faces you've mentioned and the calculator..)?
 
I am in a peculiar situation and seems like Apple store visit will only solve the problem but wanted to check with the community first on this.

My watch is no longer paired with the iphone (not sure why) and it’s set with “unlock with iphone” so no passcode is coming on the watch to unlock it. The only option was to factory reset using the charger and watch buttons. I have done that trick 5 times and it goes through the motion but ends up returning on the home complication without resetting anything.

Anybody faced same problem on wOS 6 ?? Or any other clues someone can offer ...

Did you update your iPhone to iOS 13 as well?

Yup it’s updated already but my watch is now untethered and not able to erase it at all ... seems like some restriction in watchOS 6 related to passcode locked watches
