Apple today seeded the fifth beta of an upcoming watchOS 10.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming a week after the release of the fourth beta.

To install the ‌watchOS 10.5 update, developers need to open the Apple Watch app, go to the Software Update section under "General" in Settings, and toggle on the watchOS 10 Developer Beta. An Apple ID linked to a developer account is required.

Once beta updates have been activated, watchOS 10.5 can be downloaded under the same Software Update section. To install software, an Apple Watch needs to have 50 percent battery life and it must be placed on an Apple Watch charger.

According to Apple's release notes, the update includes support for the new Pride watch face.
watchOS 10.5 includes new features, improvements and bug fixes, including a new Pride Radiance watch face to honor the LGBTQ+ community and culture.

This cant come soon enough.

For me, 10.4 has been a disaster.

Every 3-4 days I have to reboot both my watch and phone. Either the weather temp, weather wind speed or sunrise-sunset times goes blank.

Only a reboot of both will work.
