Anyone else having trouble updating?

My phone can't seem to verify the update. I have tried this on LTE and Wi-Fi, so it's not related to the Verizon outage...

How long did you wait? Took me awhile on verifying...

Mine also seems to be stuck at "verifying."

There was several people with this and they said they rebooted the watch and it completed.

No. It did take just over an hour but verification didn't take an excessively long time.

I had that problem. They had me unpair and pair again. Downloading the install is taking two hours :0

Mine says 3 hours to download ugh!

Had the same problem, but rebooting the watch and trying again got me past "verifying." It's installing now.

It's strange that Apple is having such a hard time pushing the watchOS update, when I was able to download iOS 9 in no time at all.

(FWIW I am also in Verify hell)

Good lord, yeah- already been 20 minutes, still reading 1hr to download the update.. At least it's distracting me from trying to track my new 6S+...

Stuck at verifying, then got a message how it was unable to update because of being unable to connect to internet. Have already restarted both the watch and the iPhone.
