Hello all!

I know there have been similar threads but I wasn't finding exactly what I was looking for.

I want to install PB3 on my iPhone 6 after reading that it is a lot more stable than previous builds. With that being said, I've been hesitant because I don't want to mess anything up with my watch data. Is anyone using PB3 and Watch OS 1.0.1? If so, how it is? Does anyone have any advice on upgrading my iPhone and keeping my watch intact?

Thanks

No issues here with Watch OS 1.0.1. Before upgrading, I put the watch in airplane mode and after I upgraded it reconnected automatically after turning off airplane mode.

I was on 8.4 paired. I did a OTA upgrade to PB3. Watch is still fine.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated! Went forward with it and happy I did. Normally I don't care about upgrading to betas (bugs don't really bug me unless it completely disables the device), but with all my watch data, I didn't want to risk it with early builds.

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEMS!!! I've done everything and tried everything. I'm not new to the beta game, so I know all the tricks and how to's for downgrading and reinstalling but my watch continues to not receive notifications (i do get the occasional email on it, but my phone rings before it does every time.
