Since installing beta 3, my battery has actually been functional lol. Before I was getting half a day at best and now I’m sitting at 70% after 6-7 hours

Update: Made it to around 11.5h with a 30m workout. Not impressive at all lol but way better than it was!

What model do you have? I assume not the Ultra?

[–] WiseMoth 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, not at all haha. It’s an SE 1st Gen. Not a great battery to begin with

Ah, gotcha. I'm really tempted to put the beta on my Series 7 but it's also not great for battery life these days. I think I'll hold out for the public betas.

How are you liking the new widget redesign thing?

Honestly, not really using it much since I use a watch face with 8 complications on it haha. So I don’t really need to. But in the few instances when I open it, it’s nice! I like all the other new features though. The redesigns are very nice, I love some new UIs
