People who want to test watchOS 5.1-beta can get started, because the latest beta is ready. Apple has just released the watchOS 5.1 beta 1 for developers. This is the next update after watchOS 5 has appeared. We expect a number of new features, such as support for ECGs , a feature that will only be available later this fall for people with an Apple Watch Series 4 . In addition, we hope that Apple has solved the problem with missing performance badges. During the installation of watchOS 5 many people found out that some special badges they have with challengeshad deserved, suddenly disappeared. Furthermore, there will be mostly bug fixes and smaller functions that Apple wanted to add.

watchOS 5.1 availability
Apple will probably release watchOS 5.1 at the end of October, along with other beta updates. To be able to install watchOS 5.1 you need an Apple Watch Series 1 or newer. iOS 12.1 probably appears simultaneously, because both depend on each other.
About testing beta's
When testing beta's you can often run into problems. First of all, not all functions are usually immediately available, but they are added and expanded during the test period. You can also suffer from stalking or some apps can not work properly yet. So keep this in mind if you decide to test a watchOS update. It is therefore not recommended to install a beta on a device that you use every day, because there are still many problems in the beta.
