Apple Watch users have noted that you must place the Apple Watch on its charging stand with 50 percent or better charge required and that it must be connected to WiFi. Additionally, more than a few folks are saying the update can take up to 15 or 20 minutes to install the Apple Watch OS 1.0.1 Update.
