Does anyone know if the WatchOS 4 public release is the same build as the GM? The GM is 15R372.
Got a tip for us?

Last time we had a major release, it was hypothesized that Apple may have some random sorting that they're doing to control the number of people downloading concurrently. (possibly by IP or Apple ID, who knows?)
All you can do is keep hitting refresh (but I wouldn't do it too aggressively...they may have a mechanism in there to temporarily block those that are too keen)
I'm in Canada and I've been installing for several minutes now...big install though - ETA is still 2 hours remaining on my AW0).
Update: Scratch that...it just updated to an hour remaining.
Update2: Heh...and now it says 2 hours remaining. Nice!

Still 3.2.2 as the latest for me. I missed 3.2.3 (was never offered) and I figured it was because I had the iOS public beta installed on my phone. I removed the beta profile from iOS this morning, rebooted everything, and it still says I have 3.2.2 and it's up to date.
Hrmph.
Hrmph.
Update: I had to remove the iOS beta profile from the watch (via watch app) in addition to removing it from the phone via settings app. Restarted the watch and force killed the watch app, and now it's updating.
Well, trying to. Download is slooooooooow (and that's before it gets to the slow part of sending it to the watch).

4 hours remaining for the WatchOS 4 (around 500mb) to download.
I am wondering if the 4 hours are because of the internet connection, server load or because the iPhone is sending the files to the Apple Watch?

Thanks for this info. I forgot I had the beta profile on my watch. Good lookin out.

This is why I've stopped trying to download OS updates (even X.x.x security patches) until either my phone notifies me on the Settings icon or a few days have passed.
One, I can avoid the rush on the servers and it'll update easily; and two, if there was an unforeseen bug, it usually gets discovered in the first couple days and I can avoid trouble for myself.
Ooh...it's onto Preparing...
(that took about 2 hours)
Then it does Verifying and has to be back on the charger *sigh*.

Huh. I wonder why they set recents as the dock default and not favourites.
First thing I did was change that. Has anyone kept it on recents?

There's a Profile Option down there if you have any installed.
Guys on my series 2, WatchOS 4 I noticed this:
Foggy background in dark environment(dark room/during the night). Looks like water under the screen. Can someone check on his/her watch and let me know?
