I'm waiting until tomorrow... or possibly the 24th when I update to 13.1

 

[taeisme]

Updated and loving the new faces.

 

[parker5011]

I can’t. Series 1 watch for me right now.

 

[Just_Me_D]

WatchOS 6 is running really well on my Series 3 Watch. No problems with it whatsoever...

Yeah. I was a little disappointed.

Ditto!!
Also, I like how the ‘now playing’ app’s control screen’s large circle around the playback controls shows the current position of the music track/audio media playing back. Before it showed the volume level adjustments, that’s now shown on the upper right hand side of the screen as a green vertical bar (which only appears as you’re adjusting the volume with the Digital Crown).

OMG the wifi is horrible here at work, and it's taking forever. I'm still seeing 14 hours to install. What happens if I pull it off the charger and wait til I get home tonight?

Not much. If it’s downloading, you’re good to take it off charger and wear the Watch.
Just make sure to never take it off charger while it’s in the process of updating. There is a subtle difference between downloading an update and performing an update.

By performing an update, do you mean installing an update?

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

 

[Annie_M]

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

Thank you!!!

 

[Tartarus]

Thank you!!!

Another pro tip: when downloading an update to the watch, disable Bluetooth in Settings. That will kill the Bluetooth radio entirely and force the watch to download over WiFi, which is significantly faster than over Bluetooth. Food for thought.

I'm not sure about this. When I turned off the Bluetooth, the watch disconnected from my iPhone and the update stopped altogether.

That’s weird. My watch connects to the same WiFi as my iPhone when I disable Bluetooth.

Do you by any chance have iCloud Keychain turned off?
