How well are these working together?

I did iOS14 betas and Watch OS 6 last year, and it was an awful experience. It pretty much broke my nike run app(and my AirPods Pros at one point)... I know that's how beta go- I've been doing them since iOS12.

Just trying to decide if I want to sit this year out.

I appreciate everyones input.

Can’t comment on watchOS 7 since I have a Series 2 which is stuck at watchOS 6 but imagine that watchOS 7 users suffer from the same flaw (since it also doesn’t support Focus’ yet)

I have already submitted this “bug” to Apple: when a Focus is active (irrespective which one), you’re watch will go into full do not disturb and hence your phone will vibrate or play sounds of allowed trough the focus. Previously, this would happen on the watch but since it’s in DND, it doesn’t do anything. Do not disturb settings has been removed from Watch app on iOS 15 and there’s no way to no longer Match iPhone and iOS dnd settings. Also, in Focus the option to not share Focus settings between devices doesn’t affect my watch. Really annoying this as Focus or my watch is now useless!

I'm running iOS 15 and watchOS 8 and I'm seeing some strange behavior with Focus modes. For one, notifications that are silenced in a Focus mode on my iPhone are still coming through to my Watch, which sort of defeats the purpose of the Focus.

Also, I have set up six Focus modes on my iPhone, but only two are showing up on the Watch.

Is anyone else seeing some of this?
