watchOS 27 Beta Thread

Siri is still slow to launch and respond, but it mostly serviceable. Fun to play with on the watch and already faster than pulling out my phone for many queries. But it is tiring to hold my wrist straight while waiting on a response.
 
I'm switching to the Developer Beta and downloading now. Can't be any worse that the 1st Public/3 Developer Beta. Hope this fixes the missing Maps issue in Workout/Run App.
 
Ever since I updated to watchos 27, the word "and" doesn't get understood now. I'll say "set alarm hour and fifteen minutes from now" and it'll literally spell out what I said, but it'll only do it for 15 minutes, or "one minute and 20 seconds" gets interpreted as 20 seconds. Really bad

What happens if you tell it 75 minutes?

I just tried the same times, omitting "and", and both timers worked.
 
Siri AI is still super slow in B4. Will it get faster as it learns? Otherwise, and it’s still early, they seem to have fixed all of the things that got messed up in 1, 2 & 3.

Do we know if beta 4 fixes the missing maps in the workout app?

It doesn't. I updated both my iPhone and Watch to Developer 4 Beta lsat night and did a test 1 mile walk this morning (ran yesterday on "old" Public 1 Beta). Still no Maps, so I guess I'm going to use Strava App for now until Apple gets it together. Did send Feedback a few days ago and update this morning stating it was still a problem.

Just to add it seems to show all Outdoor Workout data including calculating your VO2 Max. So I suspect it MUST be using GPS data but just not rendering the Maps.

This was my first Walk on 27 Beta and if it didn't KNOW it was Outdoors with GPS it wouldn't be able to give me a Pace yet since it would need a GPS Walk to calibrate first.😉

Same issue here
 
When starting a routine on Trainning app, I have set a playlist to start automatically, but it doesn't start at all.
The playlist was copied to the watch and it doesn't start.
only after several attempts from removing auto start and/or let it chose the music itself, it would start, but not always.
Sometimes, only going to the Music app I can start something to play.

Anyone with this annoying bug?

just checked this using the latest developer betas on my iPhone 17 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra II and mine are all reporting as expected, including a full map.

After installing the latest beta update, I can no longer use Siri to set a timer (which I see is an issue others were having).
 
Asked Siri to add ketchup to my grocery list in Reminders. After like a 30 second pause it said I did not have a Grocery list. I tried it twice with same result. When Siri can’t find it, it asks if I want to create one, and when I said yes, I had two lists named Grocery. I deleted the original and now it works. 😳WTF?
