Hello, what bugs are you having in WatchOS 11? VoiceOver is not very responsive on an apple watch series 9, sometimes I can't close notification centre etc.

So far I do not see anything. Using watch 9 with the oxigen and OS 11.

Sometimes voiceover does not speak when there is a notification or any other element than the standard watch face view. It's very hard to reproduce as it's almost a different result each time. But aside that, and the fact that the two finger tap then swipe up for volume goes out of range more than 100% there aren't much bugs. Same thing on the beta dev before rc.

This issued seems to have carried over from watch os 10, but annoyingly, calls are announced by voiceover constantly.
It used to stay completely silent, which I sincerely miss.
HOpefully this gets fixed in the future?

when you go in the watch app, and set personal voice up for VoiceOver, the watch is very sluggish and does not work well.

Though I'd never have set up personal voice as i think it's creepy as anything, I've heard that it can be sluggish so I'm not sure the watch OS or IOS is to blame as much. I don't think it's a hardware issue either. The only slight bug which i fixed was the digital navigation with the crown was turned off when I updated. I like you can change text tone sounds though they didn't give us many options. at least the ring tone can be changed.

After updating to watch OS 11,
I am noticing that the battery useage is more.
In watch OS 10 my watch would use 43% for a single day, but in watch OS 11 it is using up 65% per day.
Even after 4 days after updating.

Hi Friends,
Earlier in my moduler watch face voice over will read the following information.
1. current BPM.
2. Low and High BPM.
in watch OS 11 the voice over reads only the current BPM.
Is there any other watch face which will give this info?

In Speech settings there is a new option that says "Improve speech clarity". The description says "Use the microphone to measure environmental sound levels while VoiceOver is speaking and adjust speech volume automatically. Your watch does not record or save any of these sounds to measure these levels". The problem is that, with this feature turned on, VoiceOver speaks with high frequencies very enhanced even in quite environments, which makes it annoying to hear. I hoped it simply raised VoiceOver's volume without changing the quality.
