Its supposed to be not as reliable and uses less battery on the Ultra 2, Series 9 as its all done with the new chip/s in the Ultra and Series 9.

Apple Watch update is stuck on "Paused." I've updated my iPhone to 17.1. I'm connected to WiFi. Both my watch and phone are connected to their chargers. Anyone know what I'm missing?
Update: it had been stuck like that for 15 minutes. But the MOMENT I hit "post reply" it started working. Because of course it did. I'm still crediting the forum for the fix. Thanks!

Anyone else having this iss![]()
Apple today released watchOS 10.1, the latest version of the watchOS 10 operating system that was released in September. watchOS 10.1 comes four weeks after watchOS 10.0.2, a minor update that brought bug fixes.

watchOS 10.1 can be downloaded for free through the Apple Watch app on an iPhone running iOS 17 or later by opening it up and going to General > Software Update. To install the new software, the Apple Watch needs to have at least 50 percent battery and it needs to be placed on a charger.
There are several new Apple Watch features enabled in watchOS 10.1, including NameDrop. NameDrop lets you tap an Apple Watch to another Apple Watch or iPhone to exchange contact information with someone.

The update also includes Double Tap, a gesture that is available on the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Double Tap can be activated by tapping the index finger and thumb together twice, and it can be used to answer phone calls, end phone calls, stop alarms, and more.

Along with these two features, there are a handful of bug fixes, including an issue that could cause cities not to sync in the Weather app and a bug that could cause the elevation to be incorrect for some users. Apple's full release notes for the update are below.
More details on everything new in the watchOS 10 update can be found in our watchOS 10 roundup.

Already did, 5 times. The bug remains.
EDIT: Problem solved after two more restarts. The weather app is working again.

Wallet widgets fixed, fast Notes sync across all devices fixed, loud notifications fixed. I'm in bliss.
fixed it on the ultra but the watch app on iPhone is showing missing complications on the different faces
Try adjusting your screen mirror settings. If my phone is in my pocket, my watch will dim. Also, if I'm in a dark room, my phone will dim because it's trying to not be distracting.
At least it shows properly on the watch. I would be frustrated with the app on the phone as well but, given others are seeing the same thing, it very well may be another bug.
Yup its the same for everyone I have spoken too.
Case in point, how do the software team not see this issue whilst testing is beyond me.
Apple needs to overhaul the beta testing process. It seems to be quite inadequate on current form.
Yeh the U1 was first added in the S6. Not trying to argue with you, to be clear 😄, but I really don't understand the strange exclusion of this watch model. Arbitrary limitations like this may have sound reasoning but given Apples track record it always makes me suspicious
It’s super easy, in the watch app turn off “Auto Switch” and select the watch you want to update. After the 1st watch updates select the second watch and update it. After both watches are updated turn back on “Auto Switch”. 👍🏻
Updated yesterday day morning. Battery was at 89%, after updating was completed and worn for an hour, battery was at 7%. Charged all night and battery has gone from 100% - 16% in 2.5 hours.
Fun.
Oh, and yeah, I already erased the watch, re-paired, and set up as new.

Similar issue with my Ultra2. Normally battery lasts 2-3 days, today I made it only 4 hours from 100% to 10%.
I was going to try re-pairing since I've seen other people saying that. Guess I might not do that now.
Was a ”genius” at Apple for 10+ years first this is to reset all content and settings then re-pair and set up as new.
Definitely did not solve the issue.
