This is paraphrased from someone else's answer that helped me. I added a few notes...You'll essentially be going back to an earlier beta for a little bit, but you can update back at the end. This could take a while, and you may have to fully wipe your phone once on the earlier beta if you cant get the watch to pair.YOU MUST BACK UP YOUR PHONE BEFORE THIS!!1. Download iOS 13 beta 5 from the internet (A moderator has to approve this post if I include a link so the site I found is called iPod Hacks 142. Click on iOS -> iOS 13 -> scroll down to Beta 5 and use that one)2. Choose your phone on the website and wait for download3. Connect your phone and open iTunes (or Finder if you have Catalina on your Mac)4. Once you are in your phone's menu, hold down the “Option” key and then click on “Update”5. Choose downloaded file of iOS6. Wait for update to complete7. Connect to your Apple watch and update the watch to the newest software before your phone.

You must be on ios 13. Take a look at what I marked as correct.

Here's what I wrote. As a side note, this will take a while. At least it is for me right now. "Hi everyone, I fixed the issue. I found a download of the beta 5 ipsw on a website called ipod hacks 142. Make sure you BACKUP your phone first, you may have to reset to get the watch app working smoothly as I had to. Then everything should be fine. Let me know if you have questions!"

Where did you find a download for the older beta? Thanks!!
I'll try this if they don't release beta 7 in the next 24 hours or so. Does anyone know a link for beta 5? Thanks!
By the way, I can't pair the watch with any phones... it's useless :/

I have the same issue currently. I did a hard reset of the watch and still no luck. I think I will try to find an iphone running iOS 12 and use that to update the watch to beta 6 and maybe that will allow me to pair with my phone running beta 6. Apple says you can't pair a watch running anything earlier than beta 2 on iOS beta 6 :/Anyone else with solutions?
