Watch O.S. 6 Seems to be working fine on my Apple Watch 4 but with two downsides so far.

1). I like to use the Infograph face. This has now changed to monochrome which is far less interesting – why downgrade a perfectly good watch face?

2). I listen to the radio a lot through bluetooth headphones, The radio complication which appears on the watch face is very useful for turning it on and off and – previously – adjusting the volume. There is now a volume icon on the RHS of the face, but this does nothing. Grrrr.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Lorimer

Further investigation into the lack of volume control when the watch is displaying the Radio page enabled me to discover that it is the Crown Wheel which controls volume. Much neater a solution than previously.

There must be a list somewhere of all these changes...

BDAqua,

It's complete indeed. it even includes a 'How To' for restoring colour to the info graph display.

Many thanks,

Lorimer

6.1.3 is available. It doesn't sound critical: bug fixes and for heart rhythm notification in Iceland. That's what it says. I installed it anyway.

I wondered the same thing. Sometimes minor updates are language specific so maybe we English speakers miss out on them. I checked Wikipedia and those were't issued. Not that Wiki is 100% reliable, but that is good enough for me.
