Sounds like the same problem. Though in my case I’m currently on Spanish time and it’s skipped sunset completely and is telling me sunrise is at 14:47 tomorrow afternoon. Bit odd but only major bug I’ve seen so far on both watch and phone. Chance it may resolve itself but if not I’ve reported through the feedback and like you say I’d expect a fix come beta 2
I managed to remove it by deleting the Tips app. Then rebooting the watch. The tips widget was gone after that.
Not exactly. A push on the digital crown brings up your app cluster or alphabetical list of apps. Same as before. A spin of the Crown brings up these new widgets that so far seem to have no relevance to any apps you were using. The side button below the crown is where the issue is. That used to bring up the "dock", now it brings up control center. So no dock so far which means going to Music or Messages or Inbox is kind of a PIA.
I didn't delete tips app, but today when I booted my watch they are gone.. at least for the moment.
So is there any way to close open apps like before? I haven't found a way to actually exit apps.
Swiping up does the same thing as turning the crown from your watchface. So it seems to me that the function of turning the crown to do things like the wayfinder night mode should be put back, or at least some other useful function. As it is now it's redundant.

I was I tried that before deleting tips. Wonder how to get tips back on the watch after deleting?
My battery life seems to be pretty bad today. I just downloaded the beta this morning and when I put it on this morning my battery was at 100 and its already down to 51
I have a power meter on my bike.. Gave it a test and it found left and right crank arms, shows power and can mirror to my phone. Brilliant idea to do this. This will save iPhone battery as it doesn't have to manage more bluetooth connections to the power meters and heart rate monitor instead offloading this to the watch. As someone who has an app in the AppStore that mimics a bike computer including support for all power meters and heart rate monitors and cadence sensors, this new feature from Apple essentially sherlocks my app. But, I am OK with this. This now turns the Apple Watch into an even more serious fitness app. Really liking the direction Apple is taking here.
Next up is better organizing health data to something useful. Right now it's basically a dump of all data. But, they are going in this direction it appears.
If I was Garmin, I'd be worried. Especially since from the scientific studies I have seen, the Apple Watch ranks considerable higher then Garmin in capturing accurate HRM data and Sleep data as when compared to lab devices.
...even if it does kill my app. ;-)

That’s normal. Pretty much every iDevice gets battery hungry for a little while after a big update. My Ultra ate about 20% of its charge this morning in the first three hours after upgrading. That’s normally a whole day’s usage on a weekday. In the ten hours since, it’s only used another 10%, so it seems to have settled back into its happy place.
Nike faces are available on the Hermes edition, that's new!
Siri watch face is still there, when you're using it you can't access the Smart Stack.
If you double click the Digital Crown, which in watchOS 9 and earlier would take you to the last used app, it now brings up a modified Dock. App labels are missing, most recent apps are at the bottom of the screen instead of the top, Now Playing/media apps no longer go to the end for quick access. Crown scrolling is broken when you first open it and tries to scroll horizontally, but after you scroll it up by touching the screen it works again.
Wait really? 😳😍 That would be amazing. So you can e.g. define an Open Run and set the alert for any range, such as 5:25-5:38/km or whatever value? Yay!
You’d need a Developer account for that now. Public beta will be available next month.
Yes, anyone can get the developer beta. Just go to developer.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID to make it a developer account (you don't need to pay $99 to join the actual developer program.) Then go to Software Update settings and select the iOS 17 Developer Beta channel.
You can just set it as a profile which can also be set based on time of day.
No need to. If you go in the watch app for that face, you get a choice for auto.
It’s still a silly oversight though.
What data did the workout save to health? Really curious if cadence, and the L/R power was saved or if it’s a combined power.
I don’t even have a power meter.. but might one day 😁
Try quickly double-pressing on the digital crown...it's not an exact replacement for the dock, I don't think, but it does allow you to quickly get back to the apps you've already opened.
