watchOS 27 Beta Thread

Alrighty 👍 everyone with these Apple Watches:
Apple Watch series 9–11, SE 3
Apple Watch Ultra 2 and 3.

Since this group includes the fewest compatible models, here’s a question for you.

Have you tried Siri AI yet, and how’s battery life so far? Share your thoughts.

Siri AI for the watch isn't in Beta 1. It's coming in a later beta this summer. I have it on my phone, iPad and Mac and it's pretty good so far.

And you’ll have to get on the waitlist.

The focus this year across platforms is stability and performance, not new features (with the exception of AI). That was expected and I like it. Snow Leopard moment.

Exactly, it’s sad that Series 6,7,8 will not get Those refinements and be bugged with being stuck on OS26. They could have done a lite update for those without the Siri adjustments. It’s just unfortunate for so many especially Ultra 1 users

Where is that advertised new Siri gone on my Watch 11 … ?

are you off Siri AI waitlist on your iPhone ?

I just got off of it hrs ago at 6:50 PM PDT but I don't wear any of the limited set of compatible watches, I can't test that.

exactly!!! Now  may need to do separate watchOS 26 updates for us non compatible wearers if we want the new watch faces or certain workout stuff! Even 1st gen Apple Watch Ultra wearers are outraged too.

Yes, just got the new Siri on iPhone and Mac activated.

But can't see it on my Watch 11 as Apple advertised in the attached image
