Joe Maring/Digital Trends Back up your Apple Watchīefore installing a beta of any OS release, it's always a good idea to have a current backup of your device - and that applies even more to an early developer beta for an Apple Watch. Note that you also need to be running the iOS 17 beta on your iPhone before you can install the watchOS 10 beta on your Apple Watch. Nevertheless, if you have a spare Apple Watch you'd like to try the beta on, or you simply feel like living dangerously, here's how you can get access to the watchOS 10 developer betas right now. With an iPhone and iPad, you can always to the last public release to get back into a supported configuration, but that's not an option with the Apple Watch.
Lastly, Apple's warranty doesn't cover devices running beta software, so if you run into problems with your Apple Watch - even if it's not related to the beta - you won't get any help from your local Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Don't count on Apple's new Recovery Mode feature, as that's only designed for niche cases where an Apple Watch experiences a problem, not as a way to revert to a previous version of watchOS. If something doesn't work the way you'd expect, you'll be stuck with that problem until the next beta arrives, hopefully with a fix. Unless you're really eager and willing to sacrifice an Apple Watch to the vagaries of early betas, you're better off waiting for the public beta - especially since with watchOS, there's no going back to a previous version.
