** The Official watchOS 7 thread **

"The difference is like night and day."

watchOS 7 is officially available tomorrow but if you're on beta program, you can get it now - See [url=https://wccftech.com/download-watchos-7-gm/]here to find out how.

I'm keen to see how the sleep tracking goes.[/url]

Yup, I've removed AutoSleep from the watch. I haven't set up sleep schedules though, will just tell it when I go to bed and when I wake up through the control centre.

The built in sleep app naturally syncs with Health. Health has synced with Autosleep so it has all my old data and Autosleep on the phone also syncs with Health so it's got a record of my sleep details. Nice.

watchOS 7 seems very quick on my Apple Watch 5 and the battery has barely dropped today, it was fully charged after I showered at about 08:30 and it's only dropped to 86%.

but apparently app launch is 20% faster on the S6 watches.

Isn't that because the chip is supposed to be 20% faster than the S5?

That's what was said, yes. If the S6 is 20% faster than the S5 on watchOS7 then it'll be a massive improvement.

I just noticed that watchOS 7 now has a battery option within Settings with a battery health percentage, the same as iOS. Finally!

I believe that Watch OS 8 should fix the update issue on the Series 3.

By not supporting it?
