I noticed a good improvement from 1.0.1 to 2 GM. Hoping for even better or at least the same. In a day, I saw 10-20% better battery.
Got a tip for us?

If I were to hazard a guess, I would say no. =] People seem to say rebooting makes it pick up the update. Came up for me immediately.
OK all this talk about issues wuth the download
Can we here from someone who have succesfully downloaded this update

Going from GM to 2.0 didn't take long but the install twice rebooted with the apple logo with the ring doing the install before finishing. Still didn't take too long but it was a smaller upgrade.
I did. Installed and running now. Didn't have any betas or the GM. Went from 1.0.1 to 2.0 today. Didn't have any issues.
Worke
worked great for me and then my software updates had 6 new updates for os2 including dark sky with complication. Taking forever to install on the watch though but I have four trying to install to a new version on the watch.
I'm running a 40mbps wifi connection and still shows over 2 hours remaining... Whats going on here?
Im cool with waiting a few hours, but does anyone smarter than me know why it has to be on the charger?
I couldn't find it either. I was wondering if it is included as a default feature.
Try rebooting the watch and start again... it will skip the download step and verify in a couple of minutes.
Is that with using native apps during the day or apps that are relying for iPhone processing ?
i heard there was suppose to be improvement
There are indications that battery life may improve quite a bit:

I guess we'll all see for ourselves over the next few days.
If it seemed I implied that I didn't mean to. I am not aware of anything like that. I was just explaining my situation since it seemed to me a lot of people on these forums were running betas or the GM.
Loving watchOS 2 so far! Multicolor Modular watchface is brilliant! Weather has a nice effect now while opening and opens pretty fast! Timelapse watchface is quite nice too. But let's see how will battery be... Very curious about it.
Already got a Activation Lock warning too, and Activity report shows the option to shut it off for the day now. Some nice touches. I'll see more about this tomorrow.

I was stuck on verifying for over 30 mins. Tried this and the install started almost immediately.
So far from reading from this thread ... people who finally got watchOS 2.0 installed are getting native 3rd party apps crashing all the time .... is this an OS thing or is this an app compilation bug ? .... I really hope this is not an OS thing and that apps are going to crash all over the place ... coz this is going to be a PR nightmare for Apple especially after they pulled the app from release to squash a critical bug ...
