    I got the  Watch Nike+ Space Gray Case with Black Volt band on February 4th. After I set it up I had to turn it off and put it back in the box so that I can open it on my birthday in a week and three days.

    The question I have is will all the data on the Watch (text messages, apps, etc.) be from February 4th or will they automatically update from my phone to the current day, which will be February 24th?

    If it doesn't update automatically that's ok. It'll still update but some of the information will be out of sync.

    When you turn it on it will have old data on it, but it ought to update.

    I'm sure the Watch will update to some current information. What I'm not sure of is if messages that have been sent while the Watch is off, will be updated.

    I believe apps will update when the Watch starts up. Recently I was watching an update for an installed app, and it didn't until I uninstalled it in the Watch app and reinstalled it. This was quicker than rebooting the Watch.

    iCloud based stuff like your Calendar should be updated. Let us know if your Messages get updated and what doesn't.

    If only it was that easy! Unfortunately I have to wait until my birthday. My parents were the ones who got the Watch for me for my birthday and they said that it was one of the conditions for getting the Watch was for me to wait until my birthday. I did ask them again last week but they said no.

    Maybe they'll change their mind but I doubt it.

    Spend your waiting time reading the Apple Watch User Guide and you can be an expert when the time comes.

    Thanks. I'll check it out. I'm guessing it's available as a free download on the iBooks store.
