Hi.
I just installed the iOS 9 public beta, and seems to work fine with watch os 1.01. It also gave me the possibility to install a new beta watch profile, but doesn't look like I can download any beta software to the watch. Should that be possible or is that only for the developers to try the watch os beta?

Not sure, but it sounds like the only way to downgrade from the watch os beta is sending it in to Apple, so might want to stay away from that

beta profile wont matter but the watch OS beta is out for devs. You can find and download it but I would not recommend it at the moment.

You can leave the profile if you like because at the moment there is no public beta available for the watch. If one is released, you will have the profile installed already and the option to install the software.

Since installing the iOS 9 public beta, my watch no longer seems to receive notifications. Anyone else seeing this issue, or have a fix?

My battery life on iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 Plus have been fine. The main areas with issues are elsewhere in the OS. Details of those are posted in the issues thread. It has been worth it for me so far but I'm pretty flexible.

Had the same problem after installing the public beta. I would get some and miss some. Rebooted the phone and watch and it has worked ever since.
