I'm guessing you don't work in an engineering field. It happens, and better to take the late hit than lose customer trust.

That's not true. I updated to iOS 9 GM on Monday, but I'm still running the old watchOS, and I've been getting my notifications just fine.
Maybe you just need to re-pair your watch for some other reason.
Same for me..., though, iTunes is telling me there is a more current version of IOS9!!!! Downloading now
Watch yesterday, but it's still running 1.0. It won't update to 1.01? 
Simple? No. This is extremely significant, Apple has never delayed release.
"We have discovered a bug in development of watchOS 2 that is taking a bit longer to fix than we expected,”
OS software typically run stress tests (to ensure stability) for at least a couple of weeks after the last bug has been fixed.
Apple must have known this issue for at least a week, or they have a horrible QA department, which is probably the case, given that they released iOS 8 with lots of performance regressions. Should not happen if it is well managed and properly staffed.

I didn't use it before it was updated. I wanted to see how fast it could launch being that it was a native aw app. And it was pretty good. Took about 2 seconds to open.
No! It shouldn't matter, they have all the power to be efficient and should not have said it would be ready when it wasn't
my watch battery is dead by 2-3pm. I would say it's a big bug. Quite a few people have the issue.
Mhm..
I have been using the 2.0GM ever since the very minute it came out, and even trying out all the functions I could think of, I am yet to experience any crashes, bugs or instabilities. Even the battery is much better than both previous betas as well as WatchOS v1

My $ is down for on a security issue a White Hat found. As others have said GM was working fine so leads me to think it wasn't a performance issue.
That is incorrect. I have been running Watch OS 1.01 and iOS 9 beta with no issues and am now on iOS 9.1 beta with Watch OS 1.01 and everything still works perfectly. Never had an issue with the watch not getting notifications.
From what I have hear the bug is the Apple Fair Play DRM is causing Watch Apps not to work right or not at all.
I'm guessing plenty of people remember the "Dude, my phone doesn't work" issue with 8.0 last year.
You've clearly never written a single line of code in your life. It's not just that simple, these things happen sometimes.
If anyone is still waiting to upgrade to iOS 9.0, there are no incompatibility issues. I've been getting notifications all day since upgrading this morning, messages, email, news, everything. No reason that I can see to not upgrade if Watch issues are your main concerns.
You've have obviously never worked on a large complex software project. They are never ready. There will always be nasty bugs no matter what you do. And power and efficiency don't help.
