Should be useful. Wonder why 2.4GHz is preferred.

When will there be an option to set up an Apple Watch without an iPhone?

Does that mean if we put a beta on it and wanna roll back we now can?

No, it just saves a couple steps in the recovery process.

And being on the charger. Nothing bugs me more than when my watch battery is at 85%, but Apple still requires it to be on a charger to update as if it’s still like the first gen model that had 18-hour battery life.
