Tech giant Apple all set to release the seventh watchOS 3.2 beta version for Apple Watch developers. Also bundled with the release is the company's MacOS 10.12.4 Beta 8 for MacBooks. The two updates are already available via over the air downloads.

To download, owners of the Apple watch need to access these settings. Go to "Watch," select "General," and tap on "Software update" to start the download.

According to Droid Report, tinkering the device settings might prevent a smooth update. The latest update comes a week after the release of the beta's sixth version.

To avoid disruptions, the Apple Watch must at least have 50 percent of battery or charged in the process. It is highly recommended that it is within the range of the iPhone.

Registered Apple Watch developers are also urged to use a stable WiFi connection. Mobile internet connections are prone to service interruptions that might stop the updates.

The new beta 7 version brings two new features, the SiriKit Mode and the Theater Mode. SiriKit allows developers to integrate apps with Siri for certain uses.

Before the beta update, SiriKit was only available on iOS maps. The 2nd feature, Theater Mode, allows users to mute the sound and disable the screen while walking. Users will be able to view notifications by tapping the screen or pressing the digital crown.

Theater Mode is extremely useful for owners that are enjoying a movie or watching a game. In a post by 9TO5 Mac, developers must install the update to help fix bugs and improve performance.

In the same report, the eight beta version might be on its way soon. Tech experts believe that the final beta build is just around the corner.

The market for smartwatches is going through a revival after years of dying interest. Aside from apple, Samsung, LG, and other luxury watchmakers are already taking part of the race.
