The list of new features and capabilities within the update is lengthy. Users can update to watchOS 2 from the Apple Watch app on the iPhone paired to Apple Watch.

To download and install the update, the watch must be in range of a Wi-Fi connected iPhone and connected to its charger, and Apple Watch must be charged to at least 50 percent of its battery life.
