The coolest thing about it is that Double Tap on the Series 9 and the Ultra 2 can now be used in more places, and it has nice effects too instead of the old circular Double tap icon appearing on the upper edge of the screen when you activate it
notifications have changed. they now progressively show the app icon, then title, then first line of content, then go to the normal view where you can see the whole notification
I noticed that too. Double tap also got better, a little bit faster, and there’s not that annoying hand on top. You can also bring down the notification screen by rolling the digital crown down while you’re on the main screen. You can also roll it back up. Super cool.
Pretty sad that my Apple Watch Series 5 is not getting this update. I am considering getting the Series 9 but kind of want to wait to see what the 10/X has in store as we are only a few months away from those being revealed.
Being able to adjust your activity rings by the day and pausing then when you need to should have been something we always had. That was frustrating being in the hospital last year and not being able to get out of bed and my watch kept wanting me to stand and I couldn’t.
When I bought my apple watch SE2 last spring, with os9, it took 20 seconds to boot it up. As soon as I (was forced to) update to os10, it started taking 2 minutes to boot it up and now it's laggy. I wonder how much worse it'll get with os11.
I have a Apple Watch series 6 I’m on the new watchOS 11 and my battery drains quickly and it is slow to charge my watch back up. I was just wondering if that’s normal.
So nice to have a list of decent watch specific tones for calls/message/mail and default notifications like the iPhone.. Gotta say I’m really impressed with the stability on both watch and phone, no regrets at all with iOS18 or watchOS11 betas.. P.S - nice to ditch the torch and camera off the Lock Screen and replace it with…. Anything!
Disappointed that we still can not customize the Fitness Rings to reflect the fitness goals important to us. The red 'Move' ring and green 'Exercise' ring are immaterial to me. I want to set the red ring to 'Steps' and the green ring to 'Miles'. With just a glance I could see my day's progress towards my goals. Currently, I have to scroll deeper into the Fitness app to get that information. Thanks for all your videos. I depend on your knowledge and experience to know if I should update and what news features are available.
I REALLY wish they would allow complications on the photos app or other apps that are similar. I usually love them but want my messages icon on there, weather etc....great video
I've installed the WatchOS Beta 11 on my Apple Watch Ultra 1 and can't find the option for offline usage and downloading the languages. Is this only available on the ultra 2?
If you’re on watchOS 11 beta, press and hold the action button for a quick swap list. It’s a quick way to change between your flashlight and translate and whatever else
A bug I have found. Settings, battery, last charged. It’s showing my watch as last charged 14:03 on Monday to 91%. Since then, Monday evening I had it on charge for when I downloaded watch iOS 11. So the last charge did not update itself. I put the watch on charge again last night (Tuesday) to see if it would rectify itself. Still shows last charged as Monday 14:03. My iPad done the same as well, but has now rectified itself. I have reported this to Apple via feedback app.
yeah I feel like it's kinda fucked to already not support the first SE watch. It barely came out during the pandemic and they already want to stop updating it. My series 5 isn't getting updates anymore too, but I'm less mad about that one, since it has been 5 years after all, but there's still a little saltiness because the series 4 which was older also made it all the way til right now. They could've squeezed a couple features from watchOS 11 before sunsetting the watch.
Hey Zollo. Quick question. I updated to watch OS 11. Now I’m selling watch. Will the person I’m selling it to be able to use it if they aren’t on iOS 18
I want to be able to arrange the network icons in the control center.. DOES ANYONE know how to rearrange them? IVE NEVER toggled airplay but it comes before network data... wtf? I hope they let yo do that..
My old iPhone XR still supports the latest Apple updates but my current Apple Watch Series 5 is newer than my old phone so why would they end support to that device. I should upgrade to a new Apple Watch just like when I upgraded to a iPhone 13.
Hey Aaron, any updates on battery life? I have the original Watch ultra and have to charge a couple of times per day with normal usage. I’m not even using workouts on the watch, all of that is haves through my Garmin. Much anticipation for Beta 2.
Those who have an SE or another version not part of this update, I have a suggestion. Consider buying a later version within your budget off Swappa, Gazelle, or other reputable tech sell sights. I’ve had great experience with them for phones. I personally would not use eBay. I replaced my series 3 watch with a gently used 7 (that probably was brand new and never used) from WalMart.
I really hope that the Vitals app is something done in preparation for the apple smart Ring, wearing the apple watch during the night it's so unconfortable for me...
Battery life is not good on WatchOS 11 Beta 1. I have a series 8 and I can normally I can go 14 hrs and still have about 50% charge. Since going to WatchOS 11 Beta 1, at 14 hours I'm under 20%. Today seem to be worse. I recharged this afternoon. I was at 100% at 2pm and at 5:30pm I'm already down to 82%
Running on my ultra1 and very disappointed that now you can only use 6 photos of your choosing in the photos watch face. I remember when the limit was 24 😭
I can totally understand the Series 4 being dropped, but why the Series 5 at the same time?? The SE 1 being dropped is probably due to the running the same S5 chipset as the Series 5.
Aaron, again you provide fantastic content. I’m quite encouraged by the new features of this updated WatchOS. Hopefully everything work on the original Ultra. Now if only we could get a Dilbert watch face!!!
First time I have an apple device that isn’t getting anymore software updates (Watch SE 1). Though it still works just fine for me as is since it’s just a notification device for me when away from my phone.
Well crap. I have a 5 that has had no issues until the last update. Now my battery barely makes it through the day. I was waiting for the next update. So I’m stuck! 🤬. I’ll buy a new one when the blood glucose monitor is included.
Sorry to ask but what are your source to indicate that Apple Watch track your sleep without being on sleep mode? I didn't saw this information anywhere
That translate part might not be what you want. The English/Spanish gave the very informal version which might be impolite if speaking with a stranger. How could we know if the other languages are the same?
I thought this was pretty underwhelming for a major update. I don't use the watch for fitness. I would have loved to have seen more watch faces. My battery life has been on par with the previous version honestly.
I agree that it was underwhelming, but adding more fitness features is honestly important. part of the appeal of the apple watch is how useful it is in various categories, and while it's obviously good for notifications, and making calls and texts, one of the big selling points is the health aspect. the fitness features are pretty useful and appreciated for anyone who uses the apple watch to help keep your health in check. that said more features on the non health side would've been nice, we didn't really get anything other than changing notification sounds and live activities
Hello Zollotech - i just want to appreciate you for the lovely wallpapers you always share. While others are charging a fee, you share it for free. 👏👏👏
Discontinuing updates for SE 1st gen that was officially sold in stores less than 2 years ago was such an Apple move
Just like how the iPad Pro 2nd generation doesn’t get iPadOS 18 yet the iPad 7th generation does
Well that sad luck for me I have the apple watch se2 so it has the same ship as the apple watch ultra 1 so it will last a long time
The 2020 Apple Watch SE only having 3 years of software updates is cruel, especially since most Apple Watches go for 5+ years of updates
I have the same watch and I’m disappointed that it’s not supported and it’s not much of an upgrade on this software either
I agree… very disappointed.
It’s like how the iPad 7th gen gets iPadOS 18 but the iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen doesn’t lol
But the Apple Watch SE 2020 is the same architecture of the series 5
If it can answer the phone call and text back and track your health,it really doesn’t matter if supported or not
I love the way reminders are now shown in the calendar app....and on the watch
yeah this almost makes me want to delete fantastical
Aaron makes taking off a Watch look soo smooth lol
Right mines don’t never come off like that lol it takes a minute to get it off😂
Could you link your band for your watch in this video? I would love to pick 1 up. Thanks
Thanks, Aaron!
The Watch updates are always under reported and I like that you take time to clue me in on the updates! :)
Very much appreciated!
The coolest thing about it is that Double Tap on the Series 9 and the Ultra 2 can now be used in more places, and it has nice effects too instead of the old circular Double tap icon appearing on the upper edge of the screen when you activate it

Are the previously unreadable weather apps fixed?
Being able to adjust your activity rings by the day and pausing then when you need to should have been something we always had. That was frustrating being in the hospital last year and not being able to get out of bed and my watch kept wanting me to stand and I couldn’t.
You bring up a point that hits home. August 8th I’m having a multi level neck fusion surgery so I won’t be able to walk much for a while
Can you provide a link for your Apple Watch bracelet ? Thanks!
It’s it worth installing watchOS 11 and also if you do update it can you downgrade back to watchOS 10?!
The only channel I visit for any apple updates ❤

Idek what you’re on about my Se2 is working fine on WOS 10.5-
Thanks for the videos! Waiting for your macOS everything new.
Does the battery drain faster on the beta version?
How’s the battery life on beta 1?
I have a Apple Watch series 6 I’m on the new watchOS 11 and my battery drains quickly and it is slow to charge my watch back up. I was just wondering if that’s normal.
No, mine seems to be ok (Ultra2)
Aaron need your help with the ultra 2 watch
But can I add translate to the action button…that’s what I want.
yes through shortcut open app
@@CameronLestagez I want apple to add it directly to the action button list lol that’s like taking a third party route.
It’s on the action button list. You can go into the watch app on your phone and change it 👍
@@TerranceNock apple makes shortcuts
@@TerranceNockif your not willing to use shortcut you mustn’t have much need
Have you installed the Public beta of Watch OS11. if yes, can you create a new video on that. It will be helpful for us.
Hello Aaron,
Where can i get your apple watch wallpaper?
Thanks
He usually use lumy! It is in the App Store! I have it
So nice to have a list of decent watch specific tones for calls/message/mail and default notifications like the iPhone..

Great, now i have to sell my series wat h 5 and get a newer one.

The battery life with the 11 update has been a killer. My ultra has lost 1/3 of the power compared to 10.6
I REALLY wish they would allow complications on the photos app or other apps that are similar. I usually love them but want my messages icon on there, weather etc....great video
I've installed the WatchOS Beta 11 on my Apple Watch Ultra 1 and can't find the option for offline usage and downloading the languages. Is this only available on the ultra 2?
My watch doesn’t raise to wake anymore after beta 2 does anyone else have this problem ?? Nd can help ? I’m on beta 3 now nd it’s still not fixed
What watch face is that at the beginning of the video?
What the link to find that watch band your using?
I found one very very very similar, if not the same one. Is the brand LULULOCK?
Can’t wait to watch
Thanks! I really like your watch face
It's sad that the series 4 is no longer supported. It looks like I'm not missing out on much with WatchOS 11
Why would Apple not include Series 5,it is exactly the same internals as the 6 and 7 series.
If you’re on watchOS 11 beta, press and hold the action button for a quick swap list. It’s a quick way to change between your flashlight and translate and whatever else

@@NickW90 Never had this before.
It's inexplicable that Apple still doesn't allow third-party watch faces.
You didn't mention the ability to now change the ringtones on the Apple watch - love that feature.
yeah that's actually huge, too bad my watch which isn't even that old doesn't support this new update
Damn, my iphone was supported longer than my apple watch. Will only get 4 years of support for my apple watch SE bought in fall 2020
yeah I feel like it's kinda fucked to already not support the first SE watch. It barely came out during the pandemic and they already want to stop updating it.

Honestly don't understand why series 5 and SE are not supported.
How about finally adding MFI for hearing aids to the Apple Watch.
What is that band you wearing
Hey Zollo. Quick question. I updated to watch OS 11. Now I’m selling watch. Will the person I’m selling it to be able to use it if they aren’t on iOS 18
No they won’t.
@@zollotech do you know of anything I can do?
@@jasongantz4899 you can bring it to Apple. They’ll send it in and downgrade and then you’ll get it back in a few days or a week.

I have a Series 3 but I can't wait to use the Flighty live activity when I get a new one!
How do i get your watch face on series 8
It’s called modular in the watch app….and he has got a lumy widget in the center
Are the live activities from the iPhone on the watch? There is no uber app for Apple Watch
How do I get the golden hour watch face? Definitely something I could use for when I’m shooting
The app is called Lumy
Hey Aaron does watch os 11 remove the on demand blood oxygen measurements???

I’ve had great experience with them for phones. I personally would not use eBay. I replaced my series 3 watch with a gently used 7 (that probably was brand new and never used) from WalMart.
Please do a video on vision os
On the modular screens there are also extra choices for music, workout, activity and calendar among others
Got rid of double tap icon on public beta.
I’m probably not going to update my Apple Watch as I do hardly use it anyways and the battery life is awful
I really hope that the Vitals app is something done in preparation for the apple smart Ring, wearing the apple watch during the night it's so unconfortable for me...
I put mine on the charger the last two nights and it didn't charge?
there are also new notification sounds and THE ABILITY TO CHANGE IT
Finally
I’m not sure if it’s been said or not but you can now change your ringtone on your Apple Watch, for me so far it’s the best update 😊
Anyone know what watch band he’s using?
Thanks for sharing! 🤗
I’m so excited that Apple finally added the option to change ringtones and notification sounds to Apple Watch! I’ve been wanting that for a long time!
Why cant i use any video as my live wallpaper
Battery life is not good on WatchOS 11 Beta 1.
I have a series 8 and I can normally I can go 14 hrs and still have about 50% charge.
Since going to WatchOS 11 Beta 1, at 14 hours I'm under 20%.
Today seem to be worse. I recharged this afternoon. I was at 100% at 2pm and at 5:30pm I'm already down to 82%
My watch is not compatible with WatchOS 11
Time to upgrade later this year
Running on my ultra1 and very disappointed that now you can only use 6 photos of your choosing in the photos watch face. I remember when the limit was 24 😭
I have an Ultra ser 1 and charge mine every two days. FYI.
Waited for that sleep tracking update for a while now. Now it will finally record my day time naps. I think it will anyway
Why apple until now didn't have a solution for the alarm vibration settings? I want the vibration only be active for the alarm.
I can totally understand the Series 4 being dropped, but why the Series 5 at the same time?? The SE 1 being dropped is probably due to the running the same S5 chipset as the Series 5.
Does it automatically track sleep without enabling sleep focus mod
Yes
@@zollotech oh wow great.
I hope that it will also track nap 💤
I will definitely buy Apple Watch now

Hopefully battery will improve on my 9.
I can’t charge my watch on my normal stand it keeps playing up I’ve reported it in feedback so hopefully Apple will sort it with Beta 2
Messages slow to respond or stuttering with voice keyboard

Heard there’s also automatic sleep tracking!
