Anyone know what exactly these updates are doing? I feels like received present, but its only air inside when unboxing

I have the v2.9 update now as well. The first thing I've noticed is that the WearOS iPhone app "freeze up when opened" effect appears to be greatly decreased. From as high as 30 seconds to less than a few seconds now. I'll keep monitoring this...

Looks like they are working on BT connectivity.
BT connectivity is working great with my iPhone X since the System H update, so I don’t see improvements with these last updates.

Do you notice improvements in the BT connectivity with your phone? What phone do you use?

I am noticing changes in BT connectivity. I have an I8 on IOS 13. There is a distinct difference now. Before the current slew of updates, I could only correct a disconnected state by restarting my watch and then the wearOS app on my phone. Now when disconnected (my phone and my watch are often out of BT range of each other), simply starting the wearOS app generally corrects it immediately. I also had an issue where clearing notifications on the watch wasn't working. Now its pretty reliable.

My watch was just updated to WearOS v2.11 with home app build 2.30.0.280475152. I'm wondering if this will fix my connectivity issue. I've been getting lots of disconnections since the last slew of updates. Easy to re-connect (just open WearOS app on phone then take watch out of ambient mode), but a nuisance...
