IOS – iPhone 6s running iOS 10 claims watchOS 2.2.1 is up to date when I attempt to update the Apple Watch

Today, iOS 10 and watchOS 3 launched, however when I try to update my Apple Watch, I get "watchOS 2.2.1 Your software is up to date."

Obviously, it's not. According to this article, watchOS 3 is for sure out. The paired iPhone is an American (just to rule out possibility of any regional differences) iPhone 6s running iOS 10.0.1. I've tried opening and closing the app, restarting my iPhone, clearing RAM (by holding the power button down until the Slide To Power Off appears, then holding down the home button)—nothing. This iPhone was in the Beta Seed Program, but I just deleted that profile and restarted the iPhone just in case. Still doesn't work. Also, my internet connection is good enough (LTE at 5 mbps), so that shouldn't prevent it from at least searching for the update. I'm out of ideas here. Is there something I can do to resolve this now?

I forgot that I had installed the beta profile on my watch as well as my phone. As soon as I removed the beta profile from within the watch app and rebooted both phone and watch I was able to update to watchOS 3.
