Upgrading/Downgrading Apple Watch

Question

Upgrading/Downgrading Apple Watch

So ive heard all about the cool features watch os3 has and i am really tempted to upgrade to the beta. But i did my research and i read that you cant downgrade back to os2. Even though i read this im still super tempted to upgrade. IF my device crashes and is just to hard to handle, does any one know if you can UPGRADE to watch os3 beta 3,4,5 or 6? when they come out? or do i still have to go to apple or send it in to upgrade. Please let me know. Id greatly appreciate the help.

Take a look at the top of the page where you were at. There is a link there regarding the public beta program. There are a number of things that you can and cannot do, and one is to discuss issues you encounter with the beta on the public forum. Also, Apple will tell you not to use beta software on your daily use device, since beta software inherently contains bugs. In case you don't see the Announcement at the top of the page, here is the link. https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

I looked at the page and i mostly saw stuff containg Iphone and Mac, because there is no public beta for apple watch. i understand that the only way of downgrading the watch is to send it to apple. But if i can live with the bugs until more betas come out can i still upgrage the device?

There is presently no public beta program for watchOS 3, so you cannot install it unless you are a developer (ie a member of the Apple Developer Program).

Just so you are clear, there will be no seeding or public beta program for the Apple Watch. They only way you will get it is if you pay your money and become a developer.
