Will be installing after iOS.

BEWARE: Your iPhone MUST be on iOS13 in order to install WatchOS 6 -> I tried to do the install before iOS 13 and it ended up resetting my Series 4 and saying I needed to update my iPhone before pairing

Good to see that S1 and S2 are getting watchOS 6.

So how did you reset it back to watchOS 5?

I didn’t.

I installed, then it unpaired -> when I tried to pair, I got a notification that I had to update my iPhone. In the process of doing that now.

I’ve seen several forums where people have unusable watches because they updated to watchOS 6 without paying attention to the prerequisites. Some of them are scared to run a beta on their daily driver, so they might just be stuck I don’t get it..if you won’t run a beta on your phone, why put it on your watch

I’m not in a rush to upgrade my Watch, but I do have to pair it again to my iPhone X now that it’s been upgraded to iOS 13.

Updated to iOS 13 beta 1 on my iPhone 8 and now my watch is trying to update to watchOS 6...
Said 7 hours to go...

Hopefully it will decrease soon...

Weird. I didn’t have to.

Did you restore from a backup after installing iOS 13?

I never restore for updates. I hit update so I don’t have start over loading back ups and stuff.

WatchOS 6 on my serie 4 gps and everything ok but some app are slow to open.

It took almost 2 hour to complete the update...

 

[SaMaster14]

I think I only had to restore because I tried updating while still on iOS 12.4; so the watch updated, but it forced it to unpair until I updated my phone. Everything is running normal now though.

Although, does anyone know how to remove the cycles app if you’re a guy? Haha

One odd issue though is with the infograph watch face. When choosing black or white, everything looks great, but choosing any other color causes the complications to gray out.

I was in the same situation.
Now 24 hours later and all is fine.

I don't understand why only a few do this. It works just fine.

It just blows my mind

 

[SaMaster14]

My favorite new complications!

 

[RECON1]

Has anyone installed it without iOS 13? Or will it brick the watch?
