Apple Watch stuck on restore wheel?

My Apple Watch is on watchOS 2 beta 2. I tried restoring from a backup, and now I am stuck on the wheel where it has the Apple logo and a progress wheel around it. I can't get out of this, it won't move the progress and rebooting it as many times as I possibly can won't do anything. What can I do about this to get it working?

The same happened to me. Unforunately it's an infinite loop, nothing you can do. Just called AppleCare. They are shipping me a box so I can send in my watch and they can flash it back to 1.0.1. Not very happy with this whole beta process....can't test my app if the watch doesn't work.

I suggest calling Apple Dev Support. That's what I just did with the same problem. Turned out I forgot to register my watch as a developer device! I added my watch, unpaired my watch, and it worked! Developer Support: 1 (800) 633-2152

From the iPhone Apple Watch application, go to General > Reset > Reset sync data. Your watch should now boot.

Thanks!
