Slow OS2 update and cant sign in with the apple ID

Hey everyone! Just got a hold of an apple watch from a friend. IS a long download for watchOS 2 typical? Has already taken an hour to download and it says it has another 40 minutes left.

Also for some reason I can't sign into my apple ID. It just loads for a while and then says "Could not sign in There was a problem connecting to the server." Hopefully this gets fixed with the OS update. I tried a soft reset and that didnt fix it.

Unless your friend has disabled the iCloud activation, you will not be able to use the Watch that you just got a hold of. As for the long download, I don't know. You could be having internet-related issues or Apple could be having issues with their servers.

Okay thanks! After update the ID worked fine.

The upgrade does take for ever expect anywhere from one to two hours
