I want to downgrade my Apple Watch paired with iOS 17 beta

I recently downloaded iOS 17 beta and the beta version of watch OS. I restored my phone with iOS 16.5 but now I can't pair my Apple Watch 7 series with my iPhone. Is there any way to do a factory reset on my watch, knowing that it's still running the beta version of watch OS even after I erased the content ?

I wants 17 ios on my iPad


Do you have a spare iPad, and with whatever data loaded on it that you can erase without restoring, and do you have a spare Apple ID and with any of its iCloud data that you also don’t need, and can you operate without various third-party apps working reliably, or working at all?


If so, the beta might be for you.


If you need your data available and your apps working and your iPad working, not so much.


iOS 17 will be arriving later this year.
