Nah, I stayed off the beta (new Watch and I wanted it to live free for awhile!). OTA became visible at about 20 past the hour. Still downloading to Watch. I hate how slow that it is. That said, I can't wait to see how fast my S4 installs it!
Got a tip for us?

Disable bluetooth on your iPhone, that way your Apple Watch will connect using WiFi (make sure your watch is connected to the same WiFi network as your phone), download will be MUCH faster that way, after the update reactivate bluetooth
I'd forgotten about that tip! Thanks! Will use it next time (finally finished downloading)
Added: the download took 20 minutes. The install took about 90 seconds. Waaaay faster than my Series 0!!!
You'll get there someday! I had to live with my 0 for a long time (yeah, yeah: poor me!) The 4 is almost like a different class of device.
I would say almost 0% today. Next week, Monday or Tuesday.
We've had a beta on a friday before.. it was when we kept getting the please update your software pop up.. i think it was beta 12?
Gave it to my daughter, who loves it!

The odds of them dropping a beta 1 for a new x.x update on a Friday are pretty long. I do expect one no later than Tuesday, though.
there would be more chance of facebook updating their app for xs max and new iPads than us getting 12.2 today lol
I'm confused, in what way does the Facebook app require updating for the XS Max? Seems to be fine on mine.
Keybaord is huge and just blown up version compare with imessage keybaord

Im thinking TuesdayVery true @dan9700. So what’s your guess at 12.2 beta 1?
I'd assume a 12.2 might have some minor new features while a 12.1.5 would be a "Bug fixes and performance improvements" type of release that could go a few weeks without an update. If we get a beta next week, it could be a full 4 weeks before we get a second beta.
Typically the 1st betas are on a 3 week cycle so next week makes since to me. Monday more specifically.
It would have to be a 4 week cycle if we were to get a release tomorrow. New Years Eve is the Monday after Christmas Eve so the soonest that we could see a second beta would likely be the week of January 7th. I doubt that they'd leave a 12.2 beta 1 in rotation for a full month.Typically the 1st betas are on a 3 week cycle so next week makes since to me. Monday more specifically.
Yikes. Not to get too ahead of myself but at this rate I wouldn't be too surprised if there were no more beta releases this year.
Or to look at this from the other perspective: if they don’t release one this week, there will be nearly an entire month of no betas in the system. Looking at it that way, which one seems the more likely course?
