3rd Party Charger Slow

My 3rd party charger takes A LONG TIME. The official charger is working as expected. I’ve seen others report this on early betas as well. I updated to the RC (11.0 (22R349)) and it’s still a problem.

Is there a way to report this bug?

Really slow notification animations

I update my Apple Watch 9 to watchOS 11 RC. After the update, all notifications coming from instagram / Reddit etc (not included native apps) have a really slow animation. I can literally see trails from the text on screen while the notification pops and extends on the watch. It’s like they play in slow motion.

Anybody else got this problem? Any suggestions to solve it?

Post workout reminder

I have been seeing in videos that there is a setting in workout settings which says ‘post workout reminders’ which is said to give your a reminder post workout to rate your effort level for your workout however having installed the watchos11 RC i dont see this setting has this setting been removed?

Seconds not updating when wrist is down. Ultra2 WatchOS11 RC

I've looked through the settings and tried with the new watch faces but can't seem to figure out how to enable the seconds to always show even while in wrist down mode. Am I missing something?

Charging issue with Apple Watch Ultra 2 after updating to watchOS 11 beta

Hi everyone!

I’m having an issue with my Apple Watch Ultra 2 since I updated to the watchOS 11 beta. Since the update, the watch has stopped charging with the original Apple charger. Strangely, when I connect it to a non-original dock, it does charge, but very slowly.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions or solutions to get the original charger working again?

Thanks in advance for your help.

workout types with distance / gps tracks

Can someone with the beta confirm which workouts offer GPS tracks or distance calculation? In particular I am wondering whether sailing has gained either of these in watchOS 11. Thank you!

SMS not sending

watchOS RC is not sending SMS for me. Every message tries to send for a long time; the green status bar gets almost to the end then it fails. It worked fine on earlier betas. iPhone is on RC also. Tried restarting both the phone and the watch. It is receiving messages just fine and iMessages are going through as expected.

Watch Series 7 - iOS 18 with Watch OS 11 - No haptic alerts

I stopped getting haptic alerts for messenger, WhatsApp, Reddit, etc. However I get them for “Stand up” and other health related popups.

Is anyone else facing this? My settings are all correct to receive haptic alerts.

Phone: 15 Pro Max iOS 18 Beta

Anyone else gotten basically useless Vitals for sleep?

I recently had a bad night of sleep at 3 hours. Then I slept over 11 hours the next day. The new Vitals feature considered both “typical” despite my sleep average being 7h 41m. This seems completely insane.

Just how far off does sleep have to be to be considered ‘out of range’? Is there something I don’t understand about how it is determining and measuring what’s ’normal’?

Bring shopping list on WatchOS 11

Hello. I just upgraded my Apple Watch 9 to watchOS 11 and I’ve installed Bring shopping list app, a list grocery store app that is also available for Apple Watch and iPhone. I was trying to install in my Apple Watch and I can’t. Perhaps it’s not compatible yet? Can you please check it out or confirm that for me?

thanks 😊

"Outdoor Football" not tracking GPS

I've just updated my Ultra 2 to public beta 18 Beta 5, and played an hour of football (soccer)

As I understand it, this should now track me using the GPS?

I usually have to select running but thought the beta improved it?

Note: there's also indoor football, which I would assume would be no GPS.

No new beta in weeks

Does anyone else feel like there is going to be a delay on the publuc launch of watchOS11 due to the lack of betas lately and the complaints of poor battery life throughout the testing phase?

Made the Jump

Took the risk and installed the beta and been loving everything, so far no real difference in battery but occasionally get a random day when it drops 20% battery pretty quick but haven’t had any crashes or major bugs and in love with the new custom wallpaper.

Training load 0/28 days?

So I understand the vitals readings on the left side but not sure on the training load? It has been on 0/28 days for over a week. I have done many workouts over that time.

How do I get that right side to populate?

sudden battery drain with current watchOS11 public beta 7

I installed the latest public beta about 2 weeks ago. Battery life was a little worse as is expected with the betas but it was definitely usable and not that bad. All of a sudden today I had rapid battery drain. I want from starting the day at 80% to 13% in 9 hours.

I restarted my watch and phone and it did not seem to help.

Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to fix it? I was going to unpair and pair again as my next step.

Sold my watch running beta 10 synced with ios18. Customer can’t sync now, any help?

I factory reset my series 7 before selling and thought it would be okay. Should have checked. Now customer is telling me she is getting message she must run ios18 in order to pair. Wasn’t a problem for me obviously but she’s on 17.

Any solutions? Thank you!

New Photos watch face doesn’t update often enough

Is it just me? I’ve got it set to a specific person and there’s maybe 1000 photos of this individual but the watch only ever cycles through the same dozen photos.

Deleting and remaking the face only chooses the same photos.

Been using the face since Beta 3 or 4.

:(

Scheduling events from Apple Watch WatchOS 11

Can you try to schedule a Calendar event from Apple Watch using Siri? It’s creating in some special calendar folder that I’m not able to see on my phone nor on my watch - a specific version of Siri Suggestion..?

I don’t remember what this got broken with the Watch OS 11 Betas or before.

Also, I didn’t find any anyway to set my default calendar for the Watch.

Thank you!

[WatchOS 11 db7] Cellular status - no connection

Anyone (ideally with a series 6) having issues with the cellular connection working on WatchOS 11 db7? Specifically, do you show a connected status under your cell settings? Everything else seems normal on the phone and watch (including the eSIM) but it refuses to connect to the network. Verified service, provisioning, and eSIM are setup as expected.

Getting ready for training load…

Hi all, currently on the previous version of watchOS and am looking forward to vitals and training load being available when the global public update is available. However I’ve heard of the watch needing to build some understanding of me before it can start to give me this information. Is there anything I can do in the time being to ensure that on day1 of the public release I can use vitals and training load? Thanks
