After rumors circulated about the first Apple Watch OS update , it has finally arrived, and we'll show you how to update the Apple smartwatch's firmware to version 1.0.1 . Unlike the iPhone or iPad , the Apple Watch relies on the iPhone to perform the platform update and then download it to the wearable. For this, you'll need a Wi-Fi connection and at least half of the watch's battery charge to complete the process.

To begin, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone , go to " General " > " Software Update, " and you'll see the current firmware version or if an update is available. This update is very small, only 51.6MB, and although you can try to install it using your device's cellular data connection, the system will prompt you to connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Simply follow the procedure by reading and accepting the Terms and Conditions again , and wait until the process completes automatically. Make sure you have enough battery power to finish the update; otherwise, it will be paused.
