Downgrade Apple Watch Hello everyone, I want to downgrade my Apple Watch from the WatchOS 11 Beta to the recent WatchOS 10 update. I was able to downgrade my iPhone from iOS 18 Beta 1 to the recent iOS 17 update, iOS 17.5.1. What is the best thing to do? According to many YouTube videos, many of them are contacting Apple Support and sending their Apple Watches to Apple. Please let me know. Thank you, Jared Edit: The Apple Watch has been completely erased by me. It is in setup mode and is still on the WatchOS 11 Beta. [Edited by Moderator]

watchOS 11.3.1 is the current version. Are you asking how to downgrade to watchOS 11.0.0? If so, you can't.

If you can explain what you're trying to accomplish by doing this, someone may be able to offer you an alternative.
