So I got my watch back from Apple. Despite the email they sent informing me that they were unable to repair it, it was fine. It had been rolled back to OS 5.3 and paired with my phone on the first try. For what it is worth I had backup up my phone and then begrudgingly updated it to iOS 13 in anticipation of Apple returning my watch to me unrepaired (i.e. with OS 6 still in it). I tried to restore the phone to the 12.4 iOS backup file but couldn’t make it take. Guess I’m stuck with iOS 13. So far no major bugs.

Just heard from Apple that they are sending my watch back to me without having been able to resolve the issue. Apparently a letter will come with the watch explaining the problem (not sure why they didn't detail the problem in the email avising of the inability to fix the issue). Confused.

Made the rookie error of installing watchOS 6 beta without confirming I would be able to install ios 13 on my phone. Watch refused to pair with phone running ios 12. Tried installing ios 13 on an iphone 6 plus as well as an X but couldn't get it to install on either phone (even after installing Catalina and Xcode 11 beta). Ending up droping off my watch at local Apple store for then to send it back to be rolled back to OS 5. Like I said, rookie error.
