Let me know if it's good and it doesnt make my watch hang for 10 seconds trying to use the dock or start a workout!
Any one else notice the huge speed increase?
Luckily i’m on it, but i was thinking of updating....

Indeed!
Let me know if it's good and it doesnt make my watch hang for 10 seconds trying to use the dock or start a workout!Currently I'm downloading this latest update. I've already checked for an update via my Jabra PC app over USB ... no update there.
PS: I still have this pause in music playback when using my Beats Studio3's.
Shame all these replies and not one pertaining to what is new/fixed
Shame you read all these replies and didn’t spend two minutes to read the article.Cool. let me know how it works out.
Woohooo! Confirmed resolved on Nike+ S2 Watch.Left my gates, iPhone 7 + Nike+ & Jabra connected over Bluetooth, iPhone music source during commute to the gym.
Note: issues connecting to Jabra to phone for 5mins (screenshots note the time within the same minute), powered off Jabra then back on resolved.
Arrived at the gym, stop music playback on iPhone closed the Music app and a surprise, Jabra sounded off automatically “Bluetooth Connected”. Glanced at Nike+ Didn’t notice anything yet in Watch settings a Jabra was connected. Nothing abnormal.
Launched Strong app, music app on Nike+ launched local saved playlist ... issues connecting to Jabra, resolved after 2 attempts to connect via pop-up dialog from Watch Music app and successful.
Began Strong workout, Jabra sounded off “Bluetooth smart connected”.
No Lag during workout in strong app or Music app; jumping tracks forward and back, changing local saved playlist, switching between Strong & Music Watch app while phone was in locker!
Super fast transitions no music issues after initial connection!
As far as I’m concerned Apple fixed all lags. The issue I have now is the Jabra headset firmware. Still under warranty support to be contacted.
Update guys!!
Well, I'm downloading the update in hopes that my Series 3 becomes fast again. If not, I'm selling this thing and getting the series 4 the minute I hear rumors of a release date. Sounds like the series 2 is a waste for most, abandon wear with no hope in sight.
