A watchOS-specific configuration profile must first be downloaded from Apple Developer’s website before navigating to General -> Software Update -> Beta Updates in the Apple Watch app to view and install any new watchOS 10 beta.
We will keep this article updated with any additional changes that we find in the Release Candidate of watchOS 10, including references to new features or unreleased products.
