I’m going to wait a few hours just to see what success people have downloading it! What about you guys?

I’ve got 95% battery remaining, and I have to stick it on the charger.

Installing now before they pull it agin...

I am waiting at least a few days. I am sure that this update is fine, but, without the user ability to recover from a bricked update, I will always wait on the watchOS update.

Successfully downloaded... it took about 45 minutes here at work, where my wifi connection isn't the best!

Any reason why I’m not seeing the update available? On a series 4; I am on the beta program (Apple dev) and have the proper profile installed. When I go into my dev account it says the download should be available from my watch app, but when I check, it says 5.1 is up to date...

I don’t see it either. Apparently this release is not part of the beta program. Apple will release a beta update soon.

Downloading on my Series 4 now. Did not have the 5.1 installed so this seems a little slow. 50 minutes already and just now "Preparing"... fingers crossed!

Installed on my Series 2 with no issues. Took 53 minutes start to finish. Normally I wait to update but I figured surely Apple wouldn't goof on an update 2x in a row and thankfully I was right.
