Then, why is it, when I went to enroll one of my phones into the public beta this morning, after going to: http://beta.apple.com/profile and installing the profile, it asked me if I wanted to install to my phone, or to my watch? Undoubtedly, there must be a public beta for the watch of some

That’s a very good call. Reading here it appears the IOS and OS X are the public betas. Ok well that illuminates me either way but still I wouldn’t do it. Doesn’t look like enough gain for the risk, I’ll wait for the real deal version. > On Jan 15, 2016, at 9:01 AM, Daniel Miller

Not only do you have to be a developer to get watchOS betas, you have to register your UD ID of the watch with the developer center, which can only be found if you connect the paired phone to Xcode. No UDID registered? Bricked watch. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 15, 2016, at 9:59 AM,
