Watch OS 10 Beta Thread

Yes I am not sure what @LarryJoe33 is referring to. It was there on my 10.1 and only disappeared with 10.2 beta.

I was referring to when the workout asks me if I want to end workout. Unless I’m crazy, it’s been one click for a while now and I do remember the annoying “are you sure?”

For me, I leave the gym and when I start my car and my phone connect to CarPlay, this triggers the prompt to “End Workout”. One click. Maybe I’m crazy, I am getting old lol!

I believe the people you were replying to were all referring to when you manually end a workout yourself, not when the watch detects you've finished a workout and asks you whether you'd like to end it.

Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to. When you manually end a workout on the apple watch, it always asks for confirmation on OS 10 and 10.1. With 10.2, this confirmation is no longer there.

Anyone that's had the battery drain issue on 10.1, does the beta address the problem? My wife's AWU on 10.1 can't even make it 8 hours, and it's driving her crazy.

What's worrisome is that this kind of battery drain can deplete battery health prematurely. I had that happen to my iPhone 12 Pro and did not realize it until too late, although that was with an iOS upgrade a couple years ago.

I currently have my Ultra on the battery charger. I've deleted all 3rd party apps. I've also deleted all podcasts and music on the Watch. This is very bothersome.

Watch OS 10.2 beta seems to have removed asking "End workout?" after you click end workout. It's about time. It was annoying have to confirm you want to end the workout after you click "x" on end workout.

I noticed the same - and I love it. It is wonderful to get rid of the extra click.

I foolishly installed the 10.2 beta and it broke the Music app.….again. The Music tab on the Watch app hangs and won’t display the list of albums/ playlist. I struggle to get the Music app to play on my Watch when out running as it crashes. My mistake!
 
Maybe something linked to this release note:

Apple Music​

Known Issues​

  • The Favorite Songs playlist might take a while to appear on some iOS/iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS devices. (117219873)
    Workaround: Add a single song to your Apple Music library and the Favorite Songs playlist should appear within a few minutes.

Same here. Set up watch as new, turned off “recent music,” and then just added one playlist to the watch. It downloaded overnight and everything seems to be working fine. Music app not crashing. May try to ad more playlists in the days to come.
 
All good here with 10.2, Music app and streaming from the watch fine. Playlists, etc. all there and selectable. Apple Watch Ultra.
 
This Beta solved my horrible battery life---before the Beta I would get 5-8 hours and the battery would be depleted. Now I'm at 54%-58% or so when I put the watch on the charger at 10 PM.

Mine seems fine now, the Music app no longer crashes when I play music when out running (no iPhone with me). The only problem is that the Music tab on the Watch freezes, as if it’s still downloading music to my Watch.

Definitely no 10.3 beta for me !

Update: the Music tab on the Watch app is working as expected now. Can add and remove playlists and albums again.

I don’t get this. When I play music on my XS my watch automatically tells me what is playing. I can’t open a second version of the Music app. And why would anyone want to?

Did they bring back the button for start new workout then? Because they removed that in 10.0/10.1
