2. Put the Apple Watch on the charger.
3. Put your iPhone on the charger.
4. Go into the Apple Watch app on the iPhone.
5. Select General > Software Update.
6. When the update finds the new version, select Update Now.
7. The iPhone will prep the update and update the near by Apple Watch.
8. The watch will show a progress dial and reboot itself while the update is happening.
