yes, mine says that too and several previous posters in this thread said the same thing. I'm hoping it's not really going to take that long.
Mine finally finished about an hour ago. The new OS is nice and snappy.
p.s. for those who don't know, both screen shots and Time Travel are disabled as default, so you have to turn them on if you want to use either of them.

uh oh. Well, good to know. On the up side, mine just dropped from 2 hrs to 1 hr to go. It had been sitting at 2 hrs for a while, maybe 30 minutes, but still - it's glimmer of hope. I know it's not that big a deal to be without the watch for a couple hours but I'm looking forward to playing with the new features, plus it's going to be hard to hit my activity goals with 2 hours off!
Update: I'm down to 11 mins now (15 mins after it said 1 hr)

Thank god for this. Two of the most annoying and useless features on the watch imo
Misleading . . . the initial time estimate was for the download only (about an hour), then there was the preparing, which it did twice on my AW. Anybody else had to go through "preparing" twice, with each prepare taking about 5-10 minutes.
After "preparing" the install took over an hour with the progress ring having to go around twice. Install took 2 spins around the progress circle. Anybody else needing the install to go through the ring/circle twice?

I'm worried. My phone has been sitting on "Downloading to watch" for over an hour now. I have no idea how long it will take once it gets past this point; if it's hours after this (however long this takes), I'm in trouble. I stay up pretty late at night, but I mean, come on! I have to work tomorrow!
Anyone else have this? Any word on how much more time I'm looking at?

You are not the only one.
Download didn't taker very long, the Install and Finishing Up/Progress Circle is taking forever.
What will happen if I grab the phone and stop the load? I honestly don't believe it's doing anything yet but waiting to get the file. The watch display hasn't changed at all; it still shows the charge screen.
I have another watch I can use if this one won't do anything until everything completes. I guess I could leave it on all night, except I use my phone as my alarm clock.
Just moved to verifying for about 10 minutes, and now it says installing. The circle with the tick marks is now on the watch face and beginning to fill in. Slowly, but it's filling in. Won't remove it now. I'll wait another hour or so and then it'll sit here all night by itself, unwatched, me trusting it and Apple will do their thing.
