Hmm maybe I should just keep the original beta 1 of watchOS 5 and wait for beta 2...
Got a tip for us?

That did not go as well as it should. Apple Watch series 1 w/watchOS 4.3.2 beta 1 installed.
Long story short, the iPhone ended up saying the watch was updated and the watch asked for my pin #. I put the watch on, typed in my pin # and the watch showed the Apple logo with a circle around it quickly filling in. After it got about 3/4 full it stopped. It took about half an hour to complete the circle, then it just sat there, with the Apple logo and a completed circle. I put the watch back on the charger and tried many non-hard reset things.
Finally I did hard reset on the watch,
When I next saw it, about another half hour, it was alright and running watchOS 5.0 beta 1

Same for me. Completely stuck with a completed circle. Did the hard reset and all was fine. The final hard reset was only about a minute to complete and then it booted but maybe because it’s S3 so a bit quicker.
I did. No problems at all. The first go round is usually filled with weirdness. I was actually shocked to read about all the watch brickings.

I kept the same profile. Updated fine for me.
Same profile, but now my watch says “unable to check for updates since I’m not connected to the internet.” Weird
Yes. I updated the original time and then just updated to this new build about an hour ago. Series 3, worked perfect both times.
I have a perfect upgrade in the first run before this revised version. Download takes quite a while but all things are sorted out. Btw, I am using watch series 3.
I got it to stuck also for the circle. What got me past was that after disconnecting power after waiting full circle long I didn't hard reset BUT pressed the power button long. Thia presented to my suprise a way to empty the watch. After that it started fine.
