I reset and reloaded the Watch, and then restored from the oldest backup I had. It was a 1.01 backup, not a 2.x.
The Watch is still loaded with OS 2, BUT I have a weather display now, and when the timer on my phone just rang, the watch did at the exact same moment.
I've just done this, and have no idea whether it will solve any problems. Maybe they'll all come back, who knows.
But for the moment, it's better than it was.
I noticed that the weather complication reverted to dashes. However, touching the complication quickey brought up the weather app, which updated, and then the complication showed the correct temp.
Hey, guys!
I've found a few workarounds for the WatchOS2 to work almost as 1.0.1 (keep in mind that this steps might not work for everybody, who knows):
- To fix taptics which don't work, re-pair your watch and DON'T change the Haptic Feedback configuration. Don't touch that slider;
- On the iPhone, tap on "Reset Sync Data". This will fix corrupted contacts;
- On the iPhone, select a default city instead of current location for the Weather complication to work;
- My battery was very, very bad, and nothing could fix it. The last thing I did (after 4 restores) was to sign out from FaceTime and iMessage on my iPhone (not just turning them off, but signing out of the Apple ID on FaceTime and then turning it off and also iMessage. Once you turn them on again, link them once again with your Apple ID. That could possibly the reason why my battery life improved around 275%.
Keep in mind nothing will fix constant crashes, inconsistent taptics when sending heartbeat to friends and stuff like this... at least on beta 2.
Disabling and re-enabling Facetime and iMessage has defininitely helped with my watch battery life.
A day later things are still much better. Battery life has been better than it was under WatchOS 2.x, although I needed to charge after about 7 hours. Beats charging after 4 hours, though.
I'm also getting more notifications, although weather is still somewhat unpredictable.
