Hello,
I opened this thread to talk about the new beta (5) of watchOS 2. Let's hope this one will finally be stable.
When the beta 5 will be installed in your Watch, if you notice any notable differences (positives or negatives), post them in the thread, this will help us to discover the new beta and to avoid eventual bugs. 😉
do you have to update via iPhone watch app or download file from here? Thanks.
We have to update via the Watch iPhone app.
Do you have to update a configuration profile, or just hop into Apple Watch app after updating to iOS 9B5?
So far not great....watch hangs for about 30 secs after entering pass code.....hey Siri doesn't work and the battery drain on any watch face other than time lapse is shocking....think I'll try erasing and setting up as a new watch if nobody else is getting same issues?
Directly in the Watch app. The configuration file remains the same.
9to5mac discovered this:
When it will be installed on my Watch, I will check improvements.
I think that's been the suggestion with every version of the beta since 2.
Simply upgrading in place causes weird stability issues, that are resolved if you un-pair and setup as a new watch. Kind of stinks, but it's a beta, and how much data do you really lose wiping your watch anyway. I've only had to re-add my Apple Pay cards and reorganize my friends and family wheels.
This doesn't work for me. It says that I am up to date.
i have two apple watches one that has beta 2 and one that is running 1.0.1 i was just able to send the one running beta 2 back to apple dev support for reflash
wiht Beta 5 just coming out i have thouht of putting beta 5 on my Main Watch someone please help me determine if it's a bad idea to put it on my main stream watch or wait till I get the other one back
Messages wouldn't sync, and Hey Siri didn't work after installing b5, but re-pairing and restoring my last back up cleared things up nicely.
b5 is very usable for me.
This dosen´t work for me to. Then i downloaded the confirguration file and the opdate was on my iPhone
Is it possible Anti Aliasing isn't working?! I got the "Utility" and "Simple" watchface with a red watch hand for seconds. Maybe i didn't see this before but when it gets near the quarters there are definitely visible steps and it looks kind of edgy.
Do i get crazy or does someone see that too? 🙂
hello, i recognize that the second hand is a bit jerky. and 3rd party checks are NOT shown if you swipe from bottom to top
I thought I was going crazy! There is definitely wrong with the graphics for the second hand.
It is definitely much smoother than the last beta but it looks very jagged now
Even for Beta's they have been really unstable for my watch. Beta 5 has been a massive improvement for me though, especially battery. I've been using my watch all day for 15 hours and it still has 34%. I didn't get as good as that on WatchOS 1.
Siri is still unusable and "Hey Siri" doesn't work at all for me.
