How to Install and Update watchOS 2.2 beta 6

Today, Apple released watchOS 2.2 beta 6 13V5143a to Apple Watch developers and public testers. The new watchOS 2.2 has added a new Apple Maps app and glance, and it’s required to use iOS 9.3 beta’s new multi-watch feature. Pairing multiple Apple Watches to a single iPhone works by activating the most recently unlocked, raised Apple Watch. Switching between Watches works automatically and quickly. Aside from that feature, future beta testing will be much easier for developers as multiple watchOS versions will be able to be tested from watchOS 2.2 and newer.

A necessary preparation before installing watch OS beta

First off all, Unpair Your Apple Watch with iPhone or reset your watch to the factory settings. (To reset your Apple Watch to factory settings, go to Settings appon your watch → tap on General → tap on Reset → tap on Erase All Content and Settings → enter passcode then tap on Continue to confirm.)

Reset your watch to factory settings as it’s easy and can be done instantly without iPhone.
