One of the first updates I noticed was the Double Tap improvement. It’s more useful, faster, and it doesn’t show you that annoying double tap icon anymore!

[@BrandonButch]

Yes! Loving that update. Far more reliable

[@markitos1967]

Me too, much better the double tap and is faster

[@Kinon_4]

I have seen other watchOS11 features videos, but none match the quality Brandon puts up. Congrats mate! Keep it up :)

[@BrandonButch]

Thanks! I try to be as thorough as possible

[@mattybraps7620]

It’s nice to have live activities finally!

[@BrandonButch]

right? I feel that they're meant for Apple Watch

[@theMaanster]

I was wondering why you didn’t explain the Siri watch face getting removed

[@who_theo]

I really am curious why it was one of my favorite watch faces.. hopefully it’s a temporary thing because they’re revamping it for the new Siri

[@BrandonButch]

It’s likely because you can’t access the Smart Stack from the Siri watch face. They seem to be pushing Smart Stack a lot more this year. But things could still change since it’s beta 1

[@theMaanster]

@@BrandonButchyes I can see that! It is like the contour watch face on series 7 that I have where you can’t move the crown to enlarge different numbers

[@JTech22]

@@theMaansterYou can, but you have to first tap on the numbers, then you can use the Digital Crown to move across the numbers.

I‘m so glad they added new ringtones 🎉 I might be one of the two people who uses sounds on all of his devices but yay, now I got options! Would have been nice to hear all the ringtones and notification sounds from watchOS in the video :D But maybe that would‘ve been boring for most viewers :D

[@PraneetTulshyan]

going out of the sleep mode by holding for 5 seconds was the one thing that bothered me a lot! i had even submitted it as a feedback to them, that just in case one needs to track heart rate or ECG quickly in the night, it's too long a wait. Thankfully they've changed that!

[@ToffeeT-ci9us]

Happy about the improved sleep measurement. No focus needed and includes naps

[@rainbowevil]

Yeah, been waiting for this for a while! Was the main thing I missed about my Fitbit (apart from the 10 day battery life of course, but it wasn’t quite on the same level as an Apple Watch!)

Has the Beta version for the IPhone or Watch caused any problems with your using each device? Thinking of downloading the two Beta versions and just want to hear what your experience has been. Thanks and very helpful video.

[@ytApplecations]

The better double tap and the update to change alert sounds are making me update early (when I wasn’t originally planning to) 😂

[@Oleg__]

You never said that in widget mode the digital clock has changed in appearance. Now it doesn't have a circle with seconds on it. That's too bad, I like to see the seconds as well. Maybe if the watch face was set to show seconds, the widget mode would show seconds too.

[@HearMeLearn]

would've been nice if they didn't drop support for my watch that isn't even that old in the first place

Also a Watch 5 I Guess?

[@LincolnJoelOsbon]

Hi all. I am excited about this upcoming update for September. I noticed it was mentioned that when the watch is in sleep mode, you no longer need to push the crown for 5 seconds to exit sleep mode. Is there a setting to enable or disable that to keep it as it is under Watch OS 10? The reason is in the early hours of the morning and my watch is on sleep mode, I like to when I briefly awaken, push the crown to show the time. It is very useful and non-evasive way to check the time during the nighttime. If the new feature automatically disengages the sleep mode with a simple press of the crown, that will not be convenient unless there is a way to disable that feature. A workaround which also works currently is I can gently rotate the crown during the night and it shows the time but I would prefer just pressing the crown. I would love to hear any thoughts on this from those testing the Beta.

[@Noise_Boys]

How much/what days do you charge your watch?

[@BrandonButch]

Usually every 2 days

[@Noise_Boys]

Do you charge during the day or at night?

[@rnautiyal3]

I hope they include stress monitor as well.

[@Amanda-po9xe]

You can track HRV with Apple Watch and that is a form of stress monitor :)

[@Parky-pm2sg]

Where are the chapter time stamps for each feature ?

[@LukeYMedia]

Is this watchface For Ultra only?

[@DREAMREC0RDER]

Yes!

[@NotJarrett]

Using the crown to see notifications is one of my favorite gestures on my Pixel Watch, glad to now be able to use it on WatchOS as well!

[@NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM]

Great video! These updates are very useful. Glad my naps are finally count, going to take more now! THX APPLE for giving us more naps.

[@bred2782]

Why don't they add a feature to plan custom workouts on the phone instead of on the watch only

[@Gadifer]

Nice job. At minute 7:00 your fitness plus screen shows Step Count and Step Distance next to each other. I can only get the cards to show one on top of the other. How do you get them to nestle next to one another?

[@SkipCompton]

Downloaded and so far working great. Only problem is battery life but I expected that

[@KmiloRamone]

Why is the plus button to add a custom timer at the bottom? Isn't it frustrating to scroll all the way down every single time you need to set up your custom timer? They should leave it at the top!

[@EugeneKee]

That new sleep functionality update is too late for me. I already changed my watch to Garmin and no regrets
