55 minutes remaining.

VERY SLOOOOOOWWWWWW...

Edit: Make that 57 minutes...

 

[iMel]

Nothing here in LA yet either.

Same.

Took out the Beta Profiles, rebooted my devices and it popped! One hour to go!

 

[designaholic]

Nah. You'll be good on iOS 10 w your iPhone 6. Check geekbench scores here:

Yeah I concur, iPhone 6 runs fine on iOS 10. Battery doesn't last as long anymore though, for me at least.

 

[ericg301]

same build as the GM?

Has anyone got the watchOS3 update while staying on the Beta profile?

 

[CrazyDaveinNeb]

still tells me 2.2.2 is current. Im running 10.0.1 GM on my phone.


EDIT... Rebooting both phone and watch. Removed the beta profiles a couple days ago

Why does one have to update to iOS 10 to get WatchOS 3?

From what I've heard iOS 10 slows down the iPhone 6. So I'm basically stuck with WatchOS 2...

Well done Apple.

I very much regret having bought this overpriced, slow piece of rubbish.

Not slowing my 6 down at all. (Unnecessary Snark Deleted)

Geez, I was at 2 hours and then down to 1 hour and back to 2 now. Damn!

44 mins remaining. Maybe Apple should have staggered the iOS 10 and Watch OS release.

Should note, stuck at 44 mins for at least 5 mins.

I don't know if its a coincidence but it worked for me.

Some of us got iOS 10 GM last week. Not as many AW owners but you are probably right.

Downloading to Apple Watch in progress; 16 minutes remaining

I got the OS Sierra and iOS 10 a few days ago when the Golden Masters dropped

W00t!

 

[designaholic]

Rebooting the Watch seems to have done the trick.

 

[Cogsworth]

Also in LA no update yet...

That I DID get in advance, not having to give Apple $100 was part of it, wanting to be ready for WatchOS3 was the other.

did not for me

what childish nonsense. iOS 10 is fine on a 6. not updating on a 6 because you're afraid of a slowdown is insane....you'll be missing out on actual value you could have now, today.

I removed iOS beta profile but guess iOS stays on GM. Watch app still stuck on watchOS 2.2.1. I am currently in Germany.

Downloaded onto my iPhone SE (UK) but installation failed and Iphone went into Recovery Mode :-(

Did you reboot them both after? That is when it popped for me.

yeah, I'm running iOS 10 GM as well. So one less step. Bogging the servers with additional devices may not have helped all the iOS 10 upgrades a bit. Anyway, down to 30 mins. Happy downloading!

I've been running iOS 10 since the first public beta and now the GM on my iPhone 6 Plus and it's just fine. No slowdown at all. Why would you give up the benefits of iOS 10 and WatchOS 3 just because of a rumor you heard? I'm sorry but that's just silly.

 

[testcard]

Also had the iOS 10 GM. Installing now. Phew!

 

[jtropeano]

Rebooting watch got the update to push for me. Maybe coincidence.
