Recently we receive the first software update Apple Watch, Watch OS version 1.0.1 which incorporates some interesting new features like new languages, improved monitoring of physical activity and an overall increase in system stability. Following this many users have asked how you can upgrade the Apple Watch, follow the same process as in iOS? Should it be done from the iPhone or from the watch itself? All these questions and some more will we solve in the next tutorial.
The first thing to know is that Apple Watch depends entirely on the iPhone to download and install the latest version of software, so the procedure will take place almost entirely in our phone. In addition, we must ensure that the SmartWatch has at least 50% battery remaining or otherwise, have it connected to the mains.

- The display will show the number of update Apple Watch, the weight it occupies and the new features of the upgrade. Clicking on “Download and Install”, and after accepting the terms and conditions of Apple, begin the process of installing the update.
- Once fully downloaded the update, it is time to make sure our Apple Watch has enough to start the installation or battery otherwise, we will put it to load. The system does not begin to install the update on the watch until this is in the range of the iPhone and has sufficient battery.
