It’s definitely not showing up for me. My iPhone 11 PM and iPad Pro both updated right away, but the Watch 5 update isn’t showing up when I check on the Watch or Watch app on my phone.
Got a tip for us?

Me, either. Updated to the latest iOS 14 beta and when I check to update my watch, it’s not showing up.
After I did a restart on my 11 Pro Max (running iOS 14 beta 6) and my SS S4 WATCH, I'm now getting this prompt.
I just restarted my phone and watch and just get a “your software is up to date” message when checking for the watch update.
I have noticed that with the last beta, my AW series 5 is very slow to get to the passcode screen after rebooting.
I think MR jumped the gun with the PB beta release announcement. No other tech site has reported a PB beta 6 WatchOS 7 release.
Public or developer beta? I’m not seeing PB. I’m in agreement, MR has jumped the gun.
Had this problem too - turns out you need to have Significant Locations turned on! Fixed now for me. (Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services -> Significant Locations)
Thanks for the reply. It is already turned on on the watch. under Significant Locations under the watch it says no recent home visits which isn’t true. My home location is listed in contacts.
on the watch handwashing, the ask location next time option is ticked and i don’t have the ability to change it.

I'm thinking of taking the plunge. What's the consensus on stability/performance of the latest beta?
I'm on an AW3. Hold off. I've had a few reboots a day typically.
I installed just the iOS PB last night, and ever since, the watch on the public beta has gone through fits of non-response, to slow response, to reboots several times through the day and night. Suspect this will be corrected once I can get a newer PB installed on the watch.
