To install the watchOS 9.5 update, developers will need to download the configuration profile from the Apple Developer Center.
Once installed, watchOS 9.5 can be downloaded through the dedicated Apple Watch app on the iPhone by going to General > Software update.

An Apple ID associated with either a public beta account or a developer account is required to turn on beta updates.
The update also include bug fixes and the new Pride Celebration watch face that was announced earlier today.
