Updating the watch is a simple process:

1. Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. 
2. Plug in the iPhone to either a power outlet or your computer. 
3. Put the Apple Watch on the charger. 
4. On the phone, go into the Apple Watch app. 
5. Select GENERAL > SOFTWARE UPDATE. 
6. Start the update by tapping INSTALL. 

Some things to keep in mind:

• DO NOT interrupt the update. 
• DO NOT take the watch off the charger while the update is installing. 
• Make sure you give the update at least 30-45 minutes to download and install. 
• Keep the iPhone in range of the watch while the update is happening. 
• The update process is slower then on the iPhone or iPad. 

That’s it.
