Apple Launching Public Betas of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra Today

Apple doesn't put out WatchOS public betas…yet!
They have the infrastructure set up to do so when they choose as demonstrated by the fact we can install the watch beta profile.
What Apple has done in the past is rarely an indicator of what they'll do in the future.
They will never introduce a public beta on the watch until there is a way for a downgrade at home.
One strange bug I've encountered is that everytime I use my Bluetooth headphones the volume is really low, and I need to unpair and re-pair them for it to go back to normal. The volume indicator also disappears and I end up having to put them at max to have as volume that would normally be 60%. Pretty annoying.
I am enjoying the new notifications in iOS 10. Clean and readable. The new Map app is a welcome change! You can actually see the TBT instructions. Better layout overall. Siri seems a bit slow...but that might change over night after indexing and all.
You may have to reinstall the beta profile but your beta account will still be active
This is accurate and my original response was too simplistic. Also, I had to delete an iOS 9 beta profile first. If you're not running iOS 9 Beta--whatever--, shouldn't be an issue.
"beta" and "masses" I think you just negated yourself.... Try another forum that cares.

Not and not. Ya game??? I was, love it!

Personally, I didn't like the notifications at first. Still in I dunno area. Seem too "IN YOUR FACE" to me.
Everything is slow, it's beta. There is background logging going on here. Nothing new for iOS betas.
But new notifications uses too much screen estate especially in landscape, at top.
So here's the question. We've established iOS is a pretty solid beta. What about MacOS? And please don't tell me it's full of bugs, as I am aware of that already. My question how's the every day use, does it crash every day, or few hours. What's the battery like? These kind of things.
Then the best place for you is those threads in macOS Siearra forum, which may have mentioned all you want to know.
Yeah...I have it stalled on a secondary bootable drive. It's working fine so far. Took two reboots for siri to work properly, but it does. I am enjoying it so far.

Yeah, a "Hey, Siri" would have been nice......and currently if you do not speak immediately she hangs up on you.
I suspect the profile is needed since the watch is generally tethered to the phone. Or quickly so they can still communicate and function.
Profile for apewatch installed on watchos 2.
Oh and when adding post, entering return or delete runs to bottom of webpage! Oh the bug I've spotted!

Although this thread is regarding BOTH public beta releases...
So far sierra has been positive in my experience, install slow (this is on a ssd, even slower than previous betas in my opinion. As soon as you're set it's great as soon as indexing and optimization is complete). Overall a solid update for both OS's might adapt certain workflows, but a positive move.
If it hangs on restarting, try restarting from the login screen. Not sure that is your issue, but it's what I've encountered with several updates. Seems really solid, from the hours I've played with it, without any major impacts on daily usage. No apps were found incompatible (knock on wood-mileage may vary depending on the individual circumstances). Siri is a welcome feature in my use.After a zillion attempts I have lost the will to live, I'll wait until the fall launch
Thanks for the reply
I'm guessing for today but I switched to public just to be safe (1 day later so then if something critical is broken I will know in advance), hoping this is fixed because 1. I really want to use the Watch unlock and 2. my AppleID really feels rather vulnerable without two-factor..
