Re: Watch OS 2.1

This may sound silly but you're checking for the update using the Watch app to check for the update, right?

Yes

I haven't updated to OS 10, is that the issue ?

Yes. I think you should do the iOS upgrade.

Ok, updated iOS to 10 still having the same issue, any suggestions ?

Re: Watch OS 2.1

If I had a choice, I would stay with Watch OS 2.1. I truly don't like OS 3 at all. My original series watch runs more slowly, apps don't refresh and often times don't even connect even when I open the app on the iPhone. I hate the new dock set up. It's much clunkier than the glances in 2.1. If I could, I would go back to 2.1 in a second.

I don't think your original series watch has the processing power necessary for os3. I sold my original and upgraded to Series 1 and Watchos3 is miles and miles ahead of any of the os2 versions. all in all it's made the Apple watch a much nicer experience, especially with the new dock.

So, on my phone I'm getting the error that checking the update is not possible because it thinks it's not connected to the internet. But wiif is on and working...

Are the servers overloaded maybe?

I've got AWs and one AWS2 and the difference in performance of basic functions is much smaller than I'd expect. The AWs handle wOS3 just fine.

My WiFi throughput isn't great, and I've I'm downloading something, it's abysmal. I got the same 'not connected' error and it could be because of my bad throughput. I cancelled the download and all was good.

Apple has since pulled the 3.1.1 Update, so if you didn't get it already, it may be a day or few.

Luckily it didn't go through since they pulled it back again.
Maybe that was the cause of the error, maybe not. We'll see when the update is available again.
