watchOS 6 > What features are you most excited about?

Is it a known issue that apps like Waterminder will not sync with the iPhone apps?

Tried resetting the watch to factory defaults, now it is stuck on synchronising to my phone :(

Well I’ve taken the plunge with my iPhone to iOS 13, so have to do the same for my watch - looking REALLY forward to the new watch faces and other improvements

I changed my daily goal in the iPhone app and it still hasn’t registered in the watch app. Maybe reinstalling it on the watch might work.

Update: rebooting the watch, deleting and reinstalling WaterMinder on my watch and phone seems to have fixed it. Now they’re both in sync again.

Two years ago I jumped the beta wagon and it had a few versions that really sucked hard, so skipped it on WatchOS 5, but damn I’m so hungry for new watch faces that I think I have to jump the beta wagon again ... well we’ll see how hard it is to get on board

Please wait. I did it and more than anything I miss the "messages" on watch faces, especially the new watch faces.

I followed your steps, but now on the watch (WaterMinder) I get a message to refresh my connection. Doing this doesn’t seem to do anything. :(​
 
Pillow isn’t connecting to the iPhone app, just getting the ‘open the iPhone app and make sure Bluetooth is on’ screen.

I have the iMessage on all my faces on the new WatchOS 6 - was it gone in Beta 1? For some reason I cannot select it through the app on my iPhone but it’s visible on the watch flicking through the complications

Maybe your lucky! Over night and still can’t get past the profile page on the watch. (Overnight too)

I’ll just wait for beta 3. :(
 
Since beta 2 my AW S3 is somehow connected with the phone but I don’t get any notifications nor weather info and no internet connections either. I don’t know how I will update to beta 3 which will hopefully solve my problems.

Mine seem random. Sometimes notifications sometimes not, third party app mostly doesn’t sync with phone.

Hopefully beta 3 comes soon.

I still hope for UV exposure and sleep tracking on the next Watch. Loud noises I can understand already that they might be bad formmy hearing. UV exposure I find out about to late. As in when Im red as hell and already burned up. Would be so nice with a ding on my arm and a notification “You will burn in 20 minutes, get in the shade and add some sunscreen!”

I have the built-in UV index complication on my Infograph face, isn’t that enough?
 
I know this is a data point of one, but thought I’d throw it out there in case anyone runs into this issue.

I updated my AW4LTE to DB2 (after updating my iPhone XS Max to DB2).

Everything was going along fine until I got to “verifying”. The AW app just hung there for hours. Meanwhile, the AW was functioning normally with watchOS 5.

I restarted the AW. It then displayed the expected ‘ring of dashes‘ as it updated itself. Came back to life and is running watchOS 6 like a champ.

Good luck everyone!!
 
Can anyone share what the “workout history” screens look like?

Guessing there’s a scrollable summary list and then a detail screen for each one...
 
I want to be able to customize my notification vibrations like on the iPhone. That way you can tell that if you are getting a text, email, etc. without looking at the watch...

Answering my own question...

In the Activity app on Watch if you scroll down, then activities (from TODAY only) are now buttons (like the walk mentioned here), which when clicked goes to the Summary data >>

..from which then it’s possible to click/scroll through detailed view similar to these screens >>

That's so strange that they offer it for the phone but not the watch.

I know at least with the phone in my pocket I could feel the vibration to tell if it was a text or email (text was set up for 2 quick vibrates and email was just one). Now I always have to look at my watch whenever it vibrates to check what it is.
 
Is siri all around bugged in watchos 6? She doesnt seem to recognize who i am or my contacts. And when i ask her to play a playlist through my iphone she says constantly ok without actually doing it lol.

Also dictation through airpods seems not to be working for me at all.

Are you guys facing these issues?
