With watchOS 11 Apple Watches can track naps and night sleeps without setting a sleep schedule.
I've been doing that for a while now on WatchOS 10. I used to have the schedule turned on but tried turning it off months ago. Still tracked my sleep. 🤷🏼

You now get the water temperature when using the swimming workout and it also shows on the workout summary at the bottom.

These little refinements honestly have me more excited than any new features.

Nice to know. It’s the Ultra sensor up to now used only with Depth right?

Edit: it was just asked, sorry for repeating.

Could you please check the algorithm of the Temperature sensor?

Live, and on device (offline translation) functions identically on the 15 Pro Max and AW9. Downloaded US English, Ukrainian, Russian & Polish as those are the most useful to me. Maybe Czech if I move & can get dialysis in a 🇨🇦 allied country

Works for me since I won’t say what I’ve previously paid for a good translator app. Free is nice and I can live with that. If this was on watch and/or phone before, apologies.

And yes, it swears remarkably well and can translate my rusty Polish, Ukrainian & Russian back into English pretty goodly. And of course, English > one of those listed languages is almost flawless. I had the output from the watch translated back into English on an iPad Pro and yup, the watch is accurate enough to get me punched in the face 🤣

Will try French tomorrow when I head into dialysis (one nurse is fluent French)
Tom

This pairs nicely with the new (please tell me I haven’t been ignorant of this app since I bought my watch last December) translator app on the phone

I am curious to know if they have allowed for downgrading with WatchOS 11 beta? Previously you had to send in your watch to have Apple downgrade it for you.

I’m going diving in a month lol. I’ll let you know. Actually it’s making me wonder if I should test it before getting in the water.
hmm I just got an e-mail from Oceanic+ warning customers not to install the iOS18 or WatchOS11 betas.
Here's hoping they can fix whatever glitches they found before your dive 🤞.

I've had SO many issues with their programmes on normal, non-beta versions of iOS and watchOS that I am not surprised. Even on the last dive I did a week ago, I noticed some glitches that fortunately did not affect the dive but did get me worried initially. Pressing the action button the first two times was re-launching Oceanic+ instead of initiating the dive on the "I am fit and ready to dive" screen. Eventually I fortunately got it to initiate the dive.

Oceanic+'s algorithm might be on point but their QA is absolute ****.

Right, obviously none of this so-called "complaints" information is useful for Apple, we should stay silent.
Yeah and have heard the same with the WatchOS 10. "Remember it's just the BETA" but here almost a year later, my Apple Watch Ultra is down to being a 24 hour watch. When I got it in January 2023 it could last me two full days - now with a run I get battery warning around 20-22 hours later. Pretty terrible.

Developer beta are not here for end user complaints. There is a lot to do at the OS/API levels before listening to end users ...
And if you want to complain, it's not here, Apple is not taking care of macrumors forums.

You can have a specific issue, but for the immense majority of users, watchOS 10 has the same battery life than 9.
And I am pretty sure iOS is equally responsible for people who have the problem.
My son also hs an Ultra 1, it lasts more than 2 days, like before.

While I disagree with you about the "listening to end users" part, I think you are confusing complaints with people simply sharing their observations and warning others who want to test whether or not to do something.

Just tried to unpair and pair my Ultra 1 again with my iPhone - actually the first time (guess it does some kind of repair when updating the WatchOS maybe?). Will see if it helps.

There are different times in beta test.
There's a time for developers, a time for end users.
When you build an house, you put the basement and the basement before painting the walls ...
The first betas are always rough, incomplete, not finished. Framework are buggy, Xcode is buggy ...
That's the first priorities to fix before looking at battery or polishing colors.
If it's not officially available for end users, there's a reason. Apple probably wants to get feedback from developers first.

If the issue comes from the iPhone it won't fix ...

I still think the end-users feedback is valuable even at this stage, if not for Apple at least for the app developers. And by the nature of how you obtain this beta -if I am not mistaken, you need a developer account-, mostly the highly technical users will try this beta. Some of us being actual developers as well.

Either way, we're not complaining here.
