I'm not very excited about the Watch updates:
- Downloading and installing too slow
- Watch Series 3 always so slow and buggy like before

I realize this is the iOS speculation thread but since the topic is currently on the Watch update, why oh why do I HAVE to connect my watch to a charger to start the update. You can literally pull it off the charger after two seconds and the update will continue but no matter what, you have to connect to start it even if your battery is at 100%.

DUMB.

The watch, unlike an iPhone, doesn’t have the ability to restart itself. Being connected to the charger automatically turns the watch on. This begins the installation process.

I guess the real question is why can’t the watch restart itself. For whatever reason it’s on or off, unlike the iPhone which even has a restart button in settings.

Yeah it's unfortunate that I have to wait to get home to put my watch on the charger for the one second it takes to initiate the update but hey, nobody ever said life was fair.

Ooooooohhhhh..... why do you test me so, Apple?

I know it’s a trivial problem, but it’s mind-boggling to me. They have all watch band colors except the new ones. Thank you for checking.

I can't imagine so. The band is not sold with any watch, it's stand-alone only. I have a Nike Series 3 and the only "exclusive" is the volt color. I guess it's just a possibility that they won't release a Hyper Grape color. It looks like Spearmint and Papaya have been added. Really disappointing.
