predictions on public release date for os2?

It is failing for me too, must mean they are semi close to something.

But I am being caustically optimistic and thinking a release date of the end of Sept. or early Oct. Would love if it comes out sooner, but just don't see that happening.

Yesterday it always showed no update available.

I got the no update, software up to date message yesterday. Today it shows as update failed and either hit try again or cancel.

Two different things in a couple of days

Opposite way round for me - Yesterday came up with the 'Update Failed' message & todays its 'Your Software is up to date'

Quite a few of us are getting the error message. Will probably continue until the software is released.

Figured that would be the case.... oh well. Not going to worry too much about an operating system to lose sleep over, it will release when they are ready
 
A Friday is not likely. If it is not today, which we can hope for, it will be next week.
 
Whenever it's ready... high-profile software update/release, so they'll cross their t's and dot their i's (and j's). If I had to guess, I'd say Monday. Depends on what the issue actually was.
 
I'm gonna go with Sunday. I know the odds are stacked against me but if i'm the only one with that pick and I'm right, that's a bigger payout, right?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is released the same day as El Capitan (Sept. 30th)...

If they pulled it, they are not going to rush to get it out just to have another bug pop up. They are going to take their time and get it 99.9% right.

You tellin' me WOS2 doesn't come with iOS9? Eek! :eek: Perhaps this will break some apps that are updated for iOS 9 and tested with WOS2 but not WOS1.x because those developers assumed WOS2 and iOS9 were being released together. Anybody launch the AW app on iOS9 and see if it offers to update your watch? I would think the answer is no or this thread would have been updated by now but as I'm only 80% through the download of iOS9, I won't know for a little while. Oh. Wait a second. My BT earpiece just reported "phone1 disconnected" which means my iPhone 6 is rebooting under iOS9. THAT should only take an HOUR or so. :rolleyes:

Nevermind. I answered my own question by finally taking the time to read the article on this on MR front page. Darn. Well I'd rather have it working than deal with some kind of bug that is severe enough for Apple to pull a stop ship!

Drafts have had to pull their watch app from the store as it was WOS2.0 only. I missed this and now the drafts app on my watch is toast until the update. Not the worst thing in the world but irritating nonetheless.
I'm going to guess at next Tuesday. I think the release of the iPhone's is unrelated..
 
How about this:

I received my 2nd new applewatch today - it's not letting me install any apps - keeps saying installing but nothing. Tried rebooting everything blah blah blah - I'm guessing (hoping?) it's related to the OS2 delay - maybe installs are on hold because they're doing the release shortly??
 
I'm going to go with 9/24/15....my guess is based on their possible motivation to get it out before the new iPhone release day. It's just a guess (but I want that thumbs up if I win! :)

My watch is buggy when pulling up apps via Siri. It says I don't have app when I actually do and lags when finding locations. Since I updated to iOS 9
 
Hope it comes soon. Can't put my Discover card on the watch Apple Pay. It errors out saying that one must have OS 2 to add. At least it's on the phone's Apple Pay.

Ouch! The one card I do have on my watch still works (AFAIK) and I don't need to add another one (Thank God!). Apple really flubbed this one big time. I find iOS 9 to be even buggier than iOS 8 which is saying somethin'. For instance, when I try to see if WOS2 is available yet in the AW app on my iPhone 6 running iOS9, I get "you are not connected to the internet." I work in a basement office so I assumed the wifi wasn't working again (a not uncommon issue in our building) and only when I got outside and got the same message for LTE did I suspect a problem on At&t's end (a not uncommon problem all over their service area) so I called them and wasted 20 minutes punching 1 for this 2 for that and pounding # only to find out that yes there is an outage in the Detroit area but guess what? I started getting emails while on the phone with tech support. This led me to thank them, end the call and go try the AW app again. It STILL said "no internet connection" despite my internet connection over LTE working just fine.

Orange may be the new Black, but Apple is the new Microsoft!
