Apple Releases WatchOS 2 With Native App Support, New Watch Faces, Nightstand Mode, and More

[Alonso Quijano]

Are there any apps updated to take advantage of being native?

PCalc.

I'm running iOS 9.1 and I have no update for the watch available ??? Anyone have any ideas ?

 

[surfingarbo]

Mine keeps saying "watchOS 1.0. Your software is up to date". watchOS 2.0 is not showing up for me yet.

It works now. I deleted the beta profile on my watch. Yeay

I am somewhere around an hour if the bar is correct. That is with a 6+ and a AC Airport Extreme in my room. Oh, and I did get a pop up saying that the Uber App won't fit without adding more room. No big deal for me.

I am on beta 9.1 and cannot seem to get OS2 update to show up? Are these related? I deleted this beta profile for the Watch but that did not change it. I turned on and off my watch, and that did it!

 

[Rogifan]

i've got about 32 minutes remaining. Though it kept pausing saying it would resume when I was connected to wifi even though I was connected to wifi.

 

[Ergates-thi-Ant]

Good god there's people on Twitter complaining because the Watch needs to be on its charger in order to update. Seriously you can't wait until you get home to update? Sheesh.

IKR! Besides, why don't they have a cable at work? Lusers.

 

[Analog Kid]

An hour to go-- the bottleneck has to be throughput to the watch.

 

[MarkCooz]

What apps are currently "native"? Does anyone have a link or list to those apps?

 

[goinskiing]

Im not showing an update.. Still showing your software is up to date

Same here unfortunately, I wonder if it's because my battery is not at 50% yet?

Nothing showing in the UK - keep getting the message "you are not connected to the internet" but I am!

I got that. Got through eventually, download is painfully slow though. 1 hour for 500mb!

 

[Mr. Y]

Estimated download time: 8 hours. God bless.

Not related... I am on IOS9 beta 1 and GM and it is already done installing and rebooted.

 

[Ergates-thi-Ant]

Mine was 14 minutes at the start, and is currently on 6 mins to go. I'm at home, 20Mbps download broadband speed, and an AirPort Extreme wifi.

 

[sevimli]

It was showing me "1 day remaining"

Now it is PAUSED here for no reason, phone is on WiFi Network, but still says "you have to be connected to a wireless connected" sucks..

Are there any apps updated to take advantage of being native?

I too would like to know this, especially any fitness based ones

 

[tivoboy]

Can someone post a link to the "watch os2 killed my battery life!!!! ARRGGHHH!!" thread?

;-)

 

[tbayrgs]

It works now. I deleted the beta profile on my watch. Yeay

Are you running 9.0 or 9.1 on your iPhone? I deleted the beta profile on my watch but still no luck--I'm running 9.1 on my 6+.

UPDATE: Rebooted my watch and the update was found. Downloading now.

I'm on 9.1 public beta and update showed up. 555mb

 

[aperture1988]

Reboot of Phone and Watch allowed me to download the update, Prior to reboot was given "Unable to download as not connected to the the internet error".

 

[perkedel]

downloading it now, about an hour or so for 500 something meg download.

 

[rfahey79]

Same error for me too. I just restarted the iPhone and now it says WatchOS 1.0.1 is up to date.

I had to restart the watch to get my update to fire off.

i've got about 32 minutes remaining. Though it kept pausing saying it would resume when I was connected to wifi even though I was connected to wifi.

Maybe the problem is the Watch connection to Wifi? I've never quite been convinced I've gotten that to work reliably-- my networks and phone mostly connect to 5.8GHz networks and tried some of the work arounds, but the Watch doesn't give any indication of whether it's connected at all.

If it thought it had WiFi available, it would probably prefer to transfer over WiFi than over Bluetooth.

 

[caligurl]

It needs to be on the charger too.

I have one of those with me... it's the wifi that's holding me up!

The weather channel and it also has a complication and it is free... Night Sky is 99 cents and has a complication as well. That's all I know as I "think" they were holding off until this was released. I wanted Dark Sky and Fantastical 2 for sure - plus MLB and BR.
