Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming watchOS 6.2.5 update to developers, one week after releasing the watchOS 6.2 update that added in-app purchases to the Apple Watch App Store and a day after seeding the first iOS 13.4.5 beta.

watchOS 6.2.5 can be downloaded for free through the dedicated ??Apple Watch?? app on the iPhone by going to General > Software Update.

To install the new software, the ??Apple Watch?? needs to have at least 50 percent battery, it needs to be placed on a charger, and it needs to be in range of the ??iPhone??.

There is no word yet on what features might be included in watchOS 6.2.5, if any, but we'll update this article if we find anything new.

6.2 sometimes doesn't have the screen turn on when I get a notification, even when I flick my watch.

i am pretty happy with 6.1.3, but if 6.2 gives me same or better battery life i am in. otherwise might wait for 6.2.5.
Any feedback on 6.2 when it comes to batterylife and stability?
 
I have no complaints w/ my watch's operation on 6.2. I find the process for downloading podcasts unnecessarily challenging but that's for another discussion thread. After I installed Watch OS6 boot up time increased quite a bit; that would be my only complaint.
