The Apple Watch has been out in the market for a few weeks now and naturally the time has come for a software update to fix some things and perhaps may be even add more functionality. Mark this day Apple fans because the company today released the first Apple Watch software update which is going to bump up the Watch OS version to 1.0.1.
However since this is an incremental update, Apple Watch users shouldn’t expect any drastic changes. The software update merely brings bug fixes and performance improvements aside from adding support for new Emoji characters that were recently added to both iOS and OS X.
Also included in this update is a performance boost for Siri, stand activity measurement, improved calorie burn calculations and support for seven more languages.
Updating the software on the Apple Watch is a simple process. Connect it to power and ensure that the battery level is 50% or more. Connect it to Wi-Fi and open the Apple Watch app, tap on My Watch followed by General and Software Update.
If there’s a passcode associated with your iPhone or Apple Watch you will be prompted to enter it, then simply wait for the Apple logo progress indicator to pop up and do its work, after which the Apple Watch will restart and its software will have been updated.
