Hi, Is there someone here who can tell me, if the WatchOS 9 beta is stable enough to try? Anny issues with VoiceOver?
Thanks!

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.
All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Yes, it’s great on my series 7
Hello,
Yes, the WatchOS 9 beta runs flawlessly, on my Series 7.
As always, make a backup, just in case you need to restore the paired iPhone.
Also note that once you install the beta, downgrading is not possible, unless you send your watch into Apple.

Just asking that question, you shouldn’t install watchOS 9. People who ask others if a beta is stable, and/or safe to install, are not likely to understand the beta testing process. Betas can make devices inoperable, to the point of sending them in to device venders. Betas can have bugs which make your user experience very bad. That question also makes me think watchOS 9 is the forest beta you want to test. Don’t test it, unless you understand the risks!
