Anyone willing to relate their experiences with 6.1 on a Series 1? Good? Bad? Slower yet? Sped up?

I am trying to upgrade my S2 but the progress bar is telling me 6 hours remaining while the Catalina 10.15.1 upgrade which is several times bigger is already done downloading - go figure :(

same here. Still can’t get it downloaded. After it was done downloading after 5+ hours last night, I was unable to install it, then it crashed and suddenly said „software update 5.3.3. available“.. wtf?!

Mine eventually finished, but it was very painfull to watch. It took over 2 hours all together while our family macs (5 in total) took less than 45 minutes (together) to update.

For some reason battery life on my series 1 has dropped to just over a day. Standby 1 day, 2 hours. Dropped about eight hours! Usage time 3 hours, 54 minutes with 1% battery remaining.

When you updated, did your iPhone say it was done but the Apple watch, while on the charger, had you type in your passcode, display a pulsing circle that went just over half way around, then reset, before working?

My Series 4 had that when it updated, the pulsing circle and reboot that is.
