And I just happen to have a developer friend.

Yes!

Any idea how to force the update? I've updated to iOS 9 beta 3, but the watch app is still saying "watchOS 2.0 Your software is up to date." Driving me nuts. Any ideas?

I am on the fence of getting a second watch for development to test new OS's

Post up findings on watchOS2b3 so I can be convinced

Just keep trying. Just showed up for me (Boston).

Lots of people hitting the update servers. Mine sitting at "checking for update" for a while now.

Still nothing showing OTA for watch update.

Weird, I found the OTA for it immediately, whereas I can't seem to get the OTA for iOS.

Think I will try the beta 3 for my watch

I'm in no hurry to update from WatchOS 1.01. It's working great with iOS 9 as-is, and until we are able to downgrade without having to have Apple send it off, I will stay put until iOS 9 GM hits.

I discovered that if you go to the developer portal. Install the beta 2 profile to your iPhone it will then find the beta 3 when you hit the update button. Seems to be issue with beta 2 certificate.

Yeah that's what I figured out too.

Has anyone else managed to brick their Watch? Mine was running just fine on beta 3 until around the time I updated my iPhone to iOS 9 beta 3. Now the screen doesn't even turn on on my watch. Can't seem to reset it, even leaving it plugged in it doesn't turn on so I don't think it's a dead battery. It also heats up quite a bit when on the charger.

I had someone call in today saying the update between beta 3 and iOS 9 was incompatible for him. He's sending the watch back into apple to downgrade because he was getting server errors and the watch was going crazy.

Hmm, I don't think it's a compatibility issue. I did just manage to get my Watch to turn back on. It's in the process of restoring a backup right now. I hope it works fine again now.

I updated to ios 9 beta 3 first, then to WatchOS3 (all from Developer site). No issues at all. The new WatchOS seems to work seemlessly. Even the former complication issues / hangups (stocks, weather) seem to be resolved.

Hmm , having issues with thte heart rate sensor this morning using thr workout app, anyone else?
