WatchOS 11 Beta Thread

I change my Apple Watch bands daily as well; I have the same amount as you. Two boxes filled with bands and one box dedicated to the nice ones. A tray of sport loops as well.

iPhone case collection i will have another huge one once I upgrade to an iPhone 15 or 16 Pro. I will be keeping it longer than any other iPhone, as always.

Favorite Apple Watch band?

That’s a tough one. I’d have to go with a Louis Vuitton I wear for special occasions. But I have a pack of Amazon knock off silicone in every color on earth that are the same quality as the Apple ones that I enjoy swapping in for the gym. The buckle is the only noticeable difference. Think I paid $20 bucks for 15.

Anyone else having an issue with scroll wheel not working? I’m on latest beta on an Ultra 2.

My problem is randomly my watch will charge to 80%. I turn off optimize battery charge and randomly it goes back to 80%.

In watch and watch iPhone app turned off optimize battery. Yet randomly turns on.

Anyone else notice this?

Did your Apple Watch heat up in any way? Also if you wear an ultra or series 9, optimized charge limit is with the same setting as optimized battery charging. You need to shut it off altogether.

For reference, what series Apple Watch are you wearing?

I have these multi packs of sport bands as well.

TJX and Marshall’s even typically mark down bands in dirt cheap prices, I got two sport bands for only $4 bucks.

How does the LV band look like on ultra watches? Kind of odd to put on nice bands like a classic buckle on a rugged Apple Watch made for the outdoors.

It looks good. It's a black LV band with traditional LV's on it and the buckle is Titanium. You can really dress up the Ultra and pick a classy watch face to go with it. I'll post a picture next time I put it on.

Battery life improved significantly and I do not wake up with a 50-44% battery in my Apple Watch after sleep tracking in 11.2 beta 2.

Also y’all are correct, this beta version did not resolve the battery health issues.
 
This was the update from the feedback app on the issue reported. Hope this will resolve the issue.

I'm having the same issue, but it's not showing up in my feedback app. But I believe you all are having this issue as well so we will hopefully see a fix from Apple's engineering team. :apple:

It's going to be "So Apple" when they release the next watchOS beta today and it gives me back the missing 8% of my battery health.

Free battery! Thanks Timmy.

I would not want the battery health bug to impact my ability to get a full day's use on a single charge of my Apple Watch. If the bug continues, I might have to get a keychain watch charging puck so I can charge my watch on the go. I hope this new release fixes it!

Do people think this is a recording issue, or actual damage to its capacity? I haven't used mine since discovering it went from 96 to 88 essentially overnight, but if it’s not actually the case and it will return to previous values at the next update, I might dare turn it back on! I’m lost without it on, even though I have a lovely “normal” watch to use instead.

Not looking good for today, especially with an official release launched.

Did you mean that 11.1.1 has came out for watchOS yet? Was seeing if the 11.2 beta 4 came out.

I believe that the battery health issue is a recording issue. Many Apple Watch wearers, including users of the Apple Watch Ultra, reported that their battery health dropped after updating to watchOS 11.2 beta 2. I still use my watch, and I'm finding that it lasts through the day on beta 3. However, when the same thing happened in the previous release, beta 2, my watch didn't last through the day, and I had to charge it more often.

My Black Ultra 2 went from 100% health to 93% after installing the beta 4

I’ve also lost about 15-20% of battery usage life.
