Apple Releases WatchOS 2.0.1 Update for Apple Watch With Multiple Bug Fixes

[testcard]

Downloading now in the UK. Based on last update, I have a sleeping bag and thermos of soup standing by.

the only consistent problem I experience with my watch is that my calendar occasionally needs the data to resync, I use the modular face so this problem is annoying.

I can't believe how slow the watch updates are. Been 30 minutes and its still coming along. It was only like 30MB.

And thats 30 minutes after it was downloaded and prepared.

Is the update transferred to the watch by Bluetooth?

Finally! The initial release was very buggy. Hopefully this speeds my Watch back up to at least the speed it was at on the first watch OS!

My experience is just the opposite. WatchOS 2 felt much snappier than v1 and new complications I was afraid it was going to kill the battery but didn't. I will wait to see what real improvements this new version has.

Unsure.. Its either BT or P2P Wifi.

Beginning to think it's by fax.

It's recompiled in assembly via morse code.

Funny thing is,I just dropped off my Apple Watch at the Apple Store on Monday for "battery issues". I was loosing 5% every 15 minutes. I wonder if this would've fixed it?
Now I'll get it back in 3-5 days.

I was having the SAME issue. I figured it was a software issue.

Now you can respond to whatsaap? Cool!
Also you can quick respond from notifications via iPhone

MacRumors jumped the gun on this one it seems...no updates for iOS and WatchOS available in Canada yet, but will be waiting.

The "genius" at the store said they had the SAME exact issue! Apple ending up replacing theirs.

If you don't mind,could you let me know how yours performs after you update it?

Does this fix the lag with Siri dictation when responding to messages?

 

[senfeskotes]

How about a fix that will stop the watch from randomly disconnecting from the phone?

Not sure this is a widespread issue. Try erasing and re-pairing your watch.

Likewise. I also experienced the digital touch coming from a phone number rather than email - so now I have two entries in my Friends dial.

Awesome!

Now the 10+ people with the Apple Watch can enjoy it a little more before they realize they got stiffed...

ah cool. this fixes the always-on heartrate sensor bug i saw, as well as finding my watch depleted in a day (which may be part of that bug or a different one, dunno)

Thanks for those kind thoughts. Who are the other 9?

What about safari? Snappier too?

Two massive bugs for me are the lag when pushing reply on messages (makes the convenience of the process redundant) and the odd instance where the crown stops functioning for volume control (infuriating at the gym).

Praying these are addressed!
