Not sure about 17.3 but when I tried to install WatchOS 17.2 beta while my iPhone was still on 17.1 the “downloading to Watch” phase never completed. No harm done though.
Also you don’t say which versions you are running at the moment. WatchOS 10 does require iOS 17

It can be problematic to have different versions.
We all know that some of the battery problems are due to mysterious sync issues (music, podcasts, weather ...)
So I can't recommend exotic setups.
If you don't have a specific problem or if you don't need to test something specific in beta (as a developer), it's better to stay away from beta
Anyone else experiencing Apple Watch exiting sleep mode by itself even though it’s within sleep schedule set, and iPhone remains in sleep mode - 17.3 beta 2 and 10.3 beta 2?
I’m curious to know if anyone has installed the WatchOS 10.3 release candidate build from today on an AW Ultra 2 or AW Series 9, and if it impacted the blood oxygen sensor in any visible manner.
Just installed WatchOS 10.3 RC (21S644) with my AW2, I can confirmed Blood Oxygen sensor still working.
Has that ever been documented from Apple that they would not take that capability away from existing Apple Watch users?
WHY would they do that? WHAT would prompt them to disable it? All that talk about that is plain FUD
There is a new setting in Accessibility since beta 2, “Auto-Select Focused App”. This is intended behavior with that setting on, which appears to be the default.
That setting does not work. I tried both settings with the same results having reverting back to the last used app
Yeah the switch doesn’t appear to work for me either, but that is what it is supposed to control.
Thx. Even with that new setting, half a second seems a little quick for me, and I don't think it's my age.
For some reason that switch works for me, stops the half-second thing, I’m still on public beta 2 on both phone and watch
After deactivating this new option, everything works as before (watchOS 10.4 beta 3 - Apple Watch Series 8).
