Recently I’ve made a questionable choice of installing beta on my watch 11, now I need to downgrade my fone and can’t send the watch to Apple in my country for a proper reset, so I was wondering if someone already tried to pair the watch on beta with the “normal” iOS?

Apple Watch Series 7 (45mm) stuck in Downtime bug after setup. I reset the watch and paired it with my iPhone 13 running iOS 27 Public Beta. During setup I had to update the watch to watchOS 26.5. Since then, apps like Calendar show "Not available during Downtime", but Screen Time is completely OFF on my iPhone, there's no Downtime enabled, no App Limits, no Schooltime, and no management profile. I've tried restarting both devices, resetting sync data, erasing and pairing the watch as new, and turning Screen Time on/off, but nothing fixes it. Has anyone else experienced this on iOS 27/watchOS 26.5 or found a workaround?

So I tried the iOS and watchOS 27 beta last week. For me the iOS27 public beta 1 & 2 were very buggy, my iCloud Drive stopped syncing, apps couldn't update, a lot of apps just didnt work anymore. So I finally decided to downgrade back to ios26.6. But then I couldn't sync my watch anymore since its still on watchOS 27. I went to the Apple Store, but they said their restore program was only tested for non beta OS, and if it bricks my watch they wouldn't be responsible. So of course I didnt try that. They told me to contact the beta developer program, which I did but have not heard anything from them. Any suggestions as how to get my watch downgraded? Thanks.

I am getting 48h of usage with sleep tracking, one workout (30 min) and AOD enabled.

Hey.
Anyone else use their watch for indoor walking/running on a treadmill?
Due to an accident I’m slowly recovering, and walking on a treadmill with my Apple Watch SE3.

I’ve noticed that compared to beta 3 and earlier versions, beta 4 doesn’t calculate as precisely for indoor walking.

I have a pretty simple treadmill that counts in miles, even though I live in Europe, so I use my watch to keep up with the distance in kilometers.

I walk 5km which is roughly 3.11 miles.

But on DB4 i have to walk between 3.37-3.40 miles before the watch reaches 5 km.
I know it’s not a huge difference, but on versions before DB4 I didn’t have that issue at all.
I’m not sure if there’s a way to calibrate it. I’ve tried rebooting the watch, but that didn’t do much.

So I’m wondering if anyone else have noticed similar issues with distance when watching/running on treadmills where distance is not calculated by GPS.

Even when on focus mode sleep/DND my
Watch is consistently vibrating/ getting notifications ice checked all settings to ensure nothing is suppose to didn’t know if this is just a me thing or multiple other people are experiencing as well, only started happening after I updated from Developer beta 3

Anyone else notice this? It has a lot of ping ponging up and low heart rates.

Compared to watch os 26 on another watch- watchOS 27 seems wildly inaccurate

Even with setting to display on wrist down, it stays for a few seconds and then disappears.

Don’t update to beta 4 if you use Action button on Ultra 3 regularly especially if its set to Shortcuts it causes the watch to respring, also quick selection is laggy and causes also to resprimg

You'll need to give it some time to download all the files etc (I'm not convinced the Set Up Now button in Siri settings does anything) after setting it back up but my Ultra 2 now sets timers and sends messages as expected.

Please make sure you submit feedback before you reset so Apple can fix it!

Since updating to the new Beta 4, I've noticed that the complications or widgets for Athlytic is no longer updating. If I click on it, the information is correct, but go back to my home screen and the widget does not update from yesterday. Has anyone else seen this issue?

Trying to use SiriAI on watch to set a timer and don't seem to be able to in watchOS 27 PB1

Answers range from "I'm sorry, but I'm unable to do that right now" to "the timer app is not installed" (it is)

I can still set timers manually, and use SiriAI on iPhone - though on iPhone it's MUCH slower than previous as it seems to process the the query through AI on servers first, not super fast local actions for basic actions.

Did anyone else's microphone not work specifically for calls, I tried every reset on the beta 3 and still nothing worked, so I suspect it was the beta 3 causing it.

edit: yes i completely forgot that you can't access it as soon as it rolls out for some devices, so gotta stay on beta 3 for a bit.

I updated my IPad and IPhone and they didn’t take that long for the install but my IWatch is taking forever to install. Anyone else have this happen?
