Apple Seeds Third Beta of watchOS 9.2 to Developers

Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming watchOS 9.2 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new beta coming one week after the launch of the second watchOS 9.2 beta.

watchOS 9 Feature
To install the new ‌watchOS 9.2 update, developers will need to download the configuration profile from the Apple Developer Center.

Once installed, ‌watchOS 9.2‌ can be downloaded through the dedicated Apple Watch app on the iPhone by going to General > Software update. To update to new software, an Apple Watch needs to have 50 percent battery life, it has to be placed on the charger, and it will need to be in range of the ‌‌iPhone‌‌ it is paired with.

watchOS 9.2 introduces support for a new Home app architecture that has also been added to iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, and macOS Ventura. No other features that are Apple Watch specific have been found as of yet.

I'd buy the new pro watch... if they'd offer more for my 1-year-old Ti watch lol. $170 just isn't enough to entice me to switch.
