How can I downgrade Watch OS 2 to 1.0.1?

[ScriptedPixels]

yea, my bad, I downloaded it but it wasn't clear if it was the 1st beta.

Anyway. it still fails to pair so I'm going to go back to Beta 8.4 as that was solid for me. Watch may have to be sent away to get it flashed back to OS1

Thanks for helping though!

It's failing? Did you installed the profile on the phone, restarted the phone and after that tried to pair the watch? I've done it 2 times now...

Yep. I restarted both the phone and Watch and it still fails. I've no idea why

I may be dreaming here - with ios9 beta 2 the watch AND phone are holding battery as before.

Up, where? Seems like a link to nowhere on Apple Developer.

It came up in the watch app as available update.

Anyone have the build number for beta 2? I got the OTA this morning during the short time it was up, but want to make sure its the right build.

EDIT: Build number is 13S5255c for beta 2. I got the correct one this morning.

Well it looks like I've got it all working now. I did the following:

1. Downgraded iPhone to last stable beta of 8.4 (basicallt back to my latest stable backup that I had used for a daily driver)
2. Downloaded iOS9 Beta 1 & 2
3. Downloaded WatchOS Beta 2
4. Sent the WatchOS profile file to iPhone and installed, and then restarted
5. Tried to pair watch with 8.4 - told me the iOS was too old
6. Updated iPhone to iOS9 to Beta 1
7. Force restarted the Watch by pressing both buttons (the same as you would on the phone)
8. Paired watch successfully
9. Updated iPhone to iOS9 Beta 2
10. Watch has stayed paired & still working

My next step is to try and make sure the Watch is on the latest Beta.

It feels good to have the Watch Back after not wearing it for 2 weeks since the last Beta!

I've got 13S5254w - not sure if that's the same??

13S5254w is the number for the original Watch OS 2 BETA 1. You need to upgrade still to the BETA 2. 13S5255d

Is there a way to force it to upgrade? I've been in the watch app on the phone to check for updates and it's not picking it up

EDIT: re-downloaded the profile and it's picked it up as a new download etc

How's this beta compared to the 1st?

S

How's this beta compared to the 1st?

so far much better both for 9 and watch in regards to battery.

Battery life on the watch seems to be much better. Other than that, I havent really noticed much of a difference.
