Apple Beta Releases

Good evening everyone
I have a question
I’m trying to install watchOS 10 develop a preview on my Apple Watch Series 8 since I have it installed on my iPhone SE 22
Anyway so I’m going to the Watch app go to general go to software update, according to article there should be an option and there could be updates, I shouldn’t need to register the watch as the Apple ID is registered with the Apple Watch already so I don’t need to register it again
But checking for updates screen on the iPhone is taking God full time to go away, and I can’t check the iOS 10 update on my Apple Watch
So what can I do both are on the same network one is running iOS 17 developer preview and one is running watchOS nine

So after about 10, million seconds it decided to show me the screen but only watchOS 9.5 is available and I don’t want to install that since that’s gonna completely possibly wrecked the watch since my iPhone isn’t running iOS 16 anymore
And I went everywhere but I couldn’t find the beta updates section, unlike an iOS

You need to install the 9.5 first, then it will show up the beta. i'd be very careful. I know you want to try out all these new things but experience tells me you might be a bit over your head. Just offering sage advice. Install 9.5 then the developer beta. remember this is the first beta so you might have a lot of issues. I as a seasoned user wouldn't really even try the first one. Someone else who has installed chime in to make sure i'm correct because i'm going by good old common sense.

I would recommend waiting a couple of months because at this point the first beta of everything is very very very filled with bugs. This is not meant for anything other than testing and reporting.

Objectivity is really important. Saying something like 10,000,000 seconds demonstrates frustration and impulsive reaction. That can sometimes be detrimental to figuring out a solution to these problems, and submitting feedback that can be useful to the engineers.

Hi,
i'm running the developer betas of:
iOs17
iPadOS17
WatchOS10

Are there bugs?
Yes, absolutely! That's to be expected, especially, for a first beta.
However, this is one of the most stable betas I've ever ran.
I only lost speech from Voiceover on my iPhone once & switching voices seems to have fixed it.
I was using the Alex voice & switched to Nathan.

Same here. I have both the iOS 17, and MacOS 14 betas. sure, their are bugs, but this is the most stable releases I've ever ran on both devices. I have only reported 1 bug, but that's it. I'm hoping beta 2 or 3 fixes those bugs.

So what you’re saying is if I update from what your 9.4 to watchOS 9.5 with iOS 17 beta installed nothing will happen to it and then once I’ve installed watchOS 9.5 I can install watchOS 10 right
