Be warned, the upgrade takes time sometimes.

A list of security updates to watchOS 2.0 can be read here. “It requires the iCloud account login you paired the Apple Watch with to be entered if the device is lost or stolen”, added TechInsider. We fully anticipate that a whole host of Watch apps will take advantage of this added support for Complications. The WatchKit Interface bugs thought to have caused the delay are still in the general release of WatchOS 2 according to a new post on the Apple developer support discussion board.
In discussing more features of the watch, MacRumors said that new developer tools have also been added. The current Apple Watch is wirelessly connected to an iPhone, which results in slow app performance. But now if an iPhone is not nearby, the watch can connect to some known Wi-Fi networks to use Siri and then send messages. But it’s progress. The splits aren’t displayed on the watch, though, but in the Activity app on the phone after you sync your workout.

watchOS 2’s other big new feature is called “Time Travel”. Siri can also open up Glances for you and control your HomeKit accessories, if you have any. You might need to enter a passcode before being allowed to update, also you will need to wait until the progress bar is finished and let the automatic restart do its job.
Native Apple Watch applications will allow developers to access functionality such the wearable’s microphone, taptic engine and speaker. The Live Photos will appear as animation when you wake up the display. Now you can get more right at your fingertips including stuff like your home devices like lights, thermostat, sensors, cameras using Insteon.
When I went through all the watch faces, though, I was rather underwhelmed; really, you have a bright, high-resolution monitor on your wrist and all you can do is put a moving moth or Mickey Mouse on it? Ugh. The Apple Watch will show the update screen with a circular progress indicator. I’m finding plenty of supporting merchants, large and small, and using it to pay for public transport is much easier than reaching for change or a pass.
