Useful information, thanks for sharing. Glad I did not update as I anticipated this.

If anyone out there is still thinking of sending the watch in, Apple has added instructions here:

I didn't do it before, certainly not now that battery is pretty good.

Unfortunately the only way to downgrade at the moment is though Apple assistance. You can do it also at the nearest Apple Store . There is no other way to downgrade from Apple Watch OS 2 to 1. The future is uncertain.

Isn't a developer account needed to view the page?

I assume everyone on watch beta is a dev. Silly me.

On the bright side Watch OS Beta 3 appears to be super stable. My battery life is back to normal and the fluidity of the OS may I dare say is faster than what I experienced on 1.01? If future betas are this solid I see no need to downgrade.

Extremely happy here on beta 3 compared with the previous. Only annoying thing at this moment is Apple Pay being disabled!!

Good to know, I had no idea that apple pay was disabled, I haven't even tried to use it while on the beta.

Wonder if it is in beta 4. No release notes published yet

Re: Downgrade watchOS 2 to 1.0.1

I finally sent mine into Apple to be flashed back to 1.0.1. My phone was replaced and is on 8.4, so the watch was useless on the beta. Called Tuesday night, got the return box Thursday, sent watch back out Thursday, they received Friday and turned it around back to me in about 6 hours. Supposed to arrive Monday, hopefully with 1.0.1. The repair just says they didn't find anything wrong with it, but they have "updated" the software to the latest versions.

Just did the same. I'm happy with iOS 9 on my phone. Seems fine. I downgraded my iPad due to app compatibility issues. Any thoughts about running iOS 9 on the iPhone and 1.0.1 on the Watch?

I can attest the WatchOS 1.01 works well with iOS 9 to this point. Having said that, I've since upgraded to WatchOS 2 beta 4 so I'm stuck with it, but it's not a problem for me. I'm been primarily issue-free with it...

Im happy on iOS 8.4 at the moment. I'll upgrade again when iOS 9 hits public release this fall. There just isn't the "gotta have it" factor in iOS 9 that other major releases have had.

1. Initiate the Watch app on the iPhone.
2. Go to General - Profiles, and then select "WatchOS 2 Beta".
3. Select "Delete Profile".

Hi Stefano. After many attempts, it seems there is no way to downgrade the watch. Cheers.

Re: Downgrade watchOS 2 to 1.0.1

It will be a non issue next week. Everyone can safely upgrade to 2 without battery or stability issues.
