I didn't even think to look for it. I thought it might be released today, but my schedule is so off today which is why I missed it.

Believe me, I understand. I’m working from home today, but heck, I might as well be in the office...

6.1 is available for S1 and S2. (I'm holding off for now for my S2 to see how things are going for people.)

Updated.
I hope battery life is better on the S5.

I’m getting a much better battery life on my Series 5 with AOD.

I think it’s even better than the Series 4 at this point.

FYI- if you are grabbing AirPod Pros, WatchOS 6.1 is required...

Okay, I’ve been using the Series 5 with 6.1 today.. and I can tell you guys right away that the battery life is superb.

Started the day at 6am, it’s 8pm now with 59% left.. I had AOD on the entire time.. it’s even better than the Series 4! LOVE it.

WatchOS 6.1 is working well on my Watch. Well done, Apple.

 

[scruffypig]

Just installed directly from the watch. Cool!

Now I can't wait to install and see if that fixes the shocking battery life for my wife and my own S4 Apple Watches. Didn't know we could update directly from Watch (sadly don't have a charger with me, and given battery issues, an OTA update seems high risk).

I'm almost done with my first day on 6.1, and I'm at 64%. So battery life might definitely have improved

It’s been two days since I installed 6.1 on my Series 5, and I have 50-60% battery life left at the end of the day. I am very impressed

I’m actually downloading the update it on my Series 5 Watch at this very moment and will install it soon. Wish me luck...

Thank you, good sir...

I’m getting a much better battery life on my Series 5 with AOD.

For me, after two days with 6.1 on the S5, I am seeing slightly better battery life, but only marginally so. Typically with the S5 I would end a day with 30-35% battery left. Last night it was 40%, tonight it is 38%.

So, any improvement is great, but I’m not seeing much better battery life.
