Has anyone gotten this to show up as an available update yet? When I check on my phone and my watch is says up to date, and I'm running beta 4 on my phone and beta 3 on my S5 watch. Several others have reported the same issue on the IOS14 forum.
 
If you click Release notes on the Dev site this is what you get. Clearly the website and the servers are not on the same page.

But super annoying we see this!

There is no 3D touch in WatchOS 7. It is being done away with.
I know, but at least they should put a long press alternative to dismiss all notifications, and not by going up all notifications to the dismiss button, is annoying when you got a lot of notifications and just want to enter and dismiss all at once like before.

Finally installing on my series 3. I had to wipe the watch and set up as new, because I didn’t have enough space. I only had stock apps loaded and was still short of space. After wiping, I had 3.5 GB free.
Yes, it has been noted on the release notes in the last betas, with the indication of unpair the watch, and then perform the update when prompted during setup.

Interesting. I have nearly 3GB music and a few third party apps installed on my watch but still have 6GB of space. Granted that I’m using 16GB version but still, it is weird.
Speaking of which, one of the biggest gripe for me is the inability to store more than 3GB of music, kinda defeats the purpose of having a 16GB Apple Watch.
 
What happened to the grey watch face in beta 4? It went from mis labeled to mis colored to just gone. I hope they bring it back. Was my favorite.
 
Disappointed the haptic feedback on the sleep alarm is still weak. Beta 2 was so much better for haptic alarm.
Agreed, but I found out you can change the alarm sound and haptics. In the sleep app, tap on the sleep schedule and select "sound and haptics". I don't know if the one from beta 2 is there, but "Bright-Eyed" is a good one. The default is "Early Riser".

Also, it seems like your watch now plays the alarm sound now in addition to the vibration.

I will give that a shot since the haptic is pretty weak. I normally have the sound muted on the watch during sleep. I like waking up to just the haptic. Hopefully, I wont need to rely on both after the release.

Oh wait I figured out what happened, I usually have my watch on silent but I set it up as new last night, and forgot to put it on silent mode. I went to sleep with the sound on. Lol.

A few questions for the WatchOS Beta testers, if I may . . .

Have any of you tried the new Dance Workout and if so, what’s you thoughts please?

Secondly I believe there’s supposed to be an alarm or notification when your Watch reaches 100% charge. I’ve been wanting that feature since I began with Apple Watch.

Is it enabled and working well?

Does it also work the other way around, letting you know when your iPhone is 100% charged?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
