The worst bug Ive noticed so far on my watch. Going from 6.0 straight to 7.0::::::::

Watch runs slower,apps like Tetris , pyramid solitaire,brickout etc,
all running much slower.
widgets like space x not able to load (iq error)
what a mess!!!!!!
Graphs screens take quarter of a second to draw.(dont like this new feature)
I test some of the apps in the store for a few developers,but i can do nothing with 7.0.

As soon as I reverted back to 6.0 the watch processor slowness was gone.

In my experience with 7.0,
I can't believe this mess is going public??!!??
OMG!!!!!!
As soon as my watch comes back (rma)
I'm going to use a IQ benchmark prg and post results with 6.0 and 70

ps.reported all to beta team!?

I did 2 sessions of alpine ski using the dedicated 5x app.

everything was fine in recording but when the logfiles have been uploaded to Strava I could see all parameters of the session but no the vertical drop that was set in both cases to zero (!!?)

then through strava I could "calculate" the estimated vertical drop but the value calculated through Strava website was farily wrong compared to the vertical drop calculated by 5x.

This seems to be a recurrent bug for alpine ski session (no pbl. when I upload logfile of running and trial activities).
