How to simulate the WatchOS on Xcode 7.0.1

I recently updated my Xcode to Version 7.0.1 and I built my first Apple Watch app.
I would like to test it but it seems like I need the actual device to be able to simulate it?
I went to Hardware > External Devices > and I do not see the Apple Watch option anywhere.

It is not the same simulator but another one called 'Simulator (Watch)'. If you select the target for the Watch project, you end up with this (menu selection):

which will launch the two simulators

My case is worse, there is even no simulator option under "Project WatchKit App" scheme.

However I am able to bring it up by adding new simulator paring with watch simulator from device management window.

  1. Start any iOS simulator.
  2. Go to Hardware -> Device -> Manage Devices...
  3. Click the + button under the bottom left corner.

Then you will be able to add new iphone simulators paired with apple watch. Sorry, I do not have enough reputation to post image here.

Although I still can't find the watch simulator under the external displays dropdown, I can run the watch app from the "Project WatchKit App" scheme anyway.

Select scheme for Apple Watch in XCode and display should appear after running the project.
