I skimmed through the steps. If I had to go through all that to install iOS 13 beta when I can wait a little over a month to get the public beta version.... I’ll wait.
Got a tip for us?

It worked for me and was pretty easy. I didn't have to have ios 13 right now, but it unbricked my series 4 watch. More of them are hitting YouTube now.
So my AW sat for a day unusable until I decided to have another go at it. All I did was fully restored it again and started fresh not from a backup. I’m running iOS 13, registered UDID and no profile installed on the watch. WatchOS is obviously buggy at least it works rather than having a paperweight.
Funny, mine did exactly the same thing. My watch is working again after letting it sit overnight and setting it up as new, albeit with slightly worse battery than on watchOS 5.
Battery is definitely worse, but like was said earlier, at least it isn't a paperweight.
Have you tried:
Crown > Settings > General > Reset

Maybe try:
Crown > Settings > General > Profiles > WatchOS Beta Software Profile > Remove Profile
then possibly:
Crown > Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
All I have is watchface (I can change them) and Mickey Mouse
Guys... I have also a problem with my apple watch S4 running WatchOS 6.
After the WWDC I have installed a profile watchos6 on iphone XS running on iOS 12.4 and... It worked well for some hours, then I went to sleep. When I woke up my apple watch has been broken. I could only change the faces and literally nothing else.
Crown didn't work. I couldn't get to the system,options,menu, whatever.(it works in faces configuration)
Then I came back from the work and I have seen that my apple watch's system has been broken. It showed a configuration thing, like there was no system installed at all.
So i have tried to install watchos 6 again but .. (weird) I needed to have installed iOS13 on my iphone.
So I have installed macos 10.15 (to install ios13) and then installed iOS13 beta 1 on my iphone. Thought everything will be allright, but nope. System on apple watch has been installing for about 1h+ and the same thing... I could only change the watch faces, nothing else.
I have tried literally everything.. Reinstalling Watch app, deleting profiles, resetting apple watch to primary settings like 10 times. Nothing worked. All the time is the same thing. I install a system, it configurates for about one hour, then LAGG and I can do literally nothing. I can't even get to the system's options because it is lagged after 2 seconds.
I guess I have the same problem as KORMO and I don't see any way to fix it out.
Is somebody able to help in some way?
I have also tried to use two other iphones running on 12.3.1 and it can't even configurate because after a few seconds it shows "disconnecting because of the system version"
I tried to configurate it from the primary setting, and also from backup - the same problem. Crown doesn't work, I am only able to change the faces.
edit. I see more people have this same problem. Did somebody fix it?
Just to be clear, I should have written: "Press Crown".All I have is watchface (I can change them) and Mickey Mouse
I'm sorry, I do not have a mucked up watch to compare, so I'm just guessing. Mine is on WOS6 and working normally.
Just got off a chat with an Apple genie, she said that the best thing to do was to take it to an Apple store and have it restored to watch os 5. She said Apple do not charge!
So I live in the uk, does that mean I would have to have an American time zone on mine?

But resetting it does not take the software off.
Ok thanks will have a crack at it now!

When I try using a back up it uses all of the other settings.There are not a problem ! I'm in France and it works so why not you ?
Just do it !
[doublepost=1559805559][/doublepost]
For me it synced all my settings with the old backup
Ok now I understand what you meant. It’s all working perfectly fine now! Thanks to all!!!
