Has anyone else experienced this? I was excited for WatchOS 8, but not enough to beta it. Now I’m getting impatient, because this is what my Software Update screen shows in the Watch app:
I have:
- removed the beta profiles from my iPhone and iPad
- restarted the Watch
- restarted the iPhone
- quit and relaunched the Watch app
I’m using a Series 6, so it hasn’t aged out…
Maybe I just have to be patient? I am really not very good at being patient.
I read your posts, opened my phone and the Watch app, clicked “Check for Updates”, et voilà: WatchOS 8. It is downloading, brought in by the Apple emmets, right now.
FWIW, automatic updates is always on in the Watch app and never works. I always have to manually find and install WatchOS updates. Same for my Apple TV.

Figured it out. I had no memory of this, but I somehow had a beta profile on the Watch, too—one that wasn’t in use.
I need that new swirly-eyes emoji. Wait, I found it! 😵💫
I removed that defunct profile and now watchOS 8 is downloading. Hurray!
You make an excellent rubber duck, MPU.
