The much-awaited update is here. The newly released Apple's WatchOS 2 will give a significant improvement to the 42mm Apple Watch Sport. However, it does not fix all of the Apple Watch's flaws and then make it to the mainstream.

According to Wall Street Journal, Apple Inc. is giving its product a software makeover with WatchOS 2 and is available as a free download to all watch owners on Monday, Sept. 21. What delays it is the third-party Apple Watch apps -- relying on the iPhone to do just about everything. Apple does not want that in the new Apple device flagship as the users are spending more time staring at the circular loading screen. WatchOS 2 is more of what it can enable to do rather than its immediate features.

It is just like when Apple kicked off the App Store on iOS. It portends some fundamental shifts in the way the Apple Watch works. The big problem is that Apple does not have much of an excuse for not delivering most of WatchOS 2's features when the Apple Watch launched.

WatchOS 2 is something that would sound familiar to early iPhone users and that is native apps, which have access to more of the device's features, including the Digital Crown, taptic feedback and health tracking. A surprisingly lengthy download of upgrading to WatchOS 2 is too slow and would take over an hour so make sure that the watch is ready for charging because the upgrade would not start without it.

More so, it has no any major changes once the watch is finally rebooted. It can be made more personal by putting any photo or whole photo albums the user wants. It has an animated jellyfish watch face that stayed on the screen much longer than before which is just a minor thing. It can make the watch keep its display on for 70 seconds, not just 15. When the watch is connected to the charger, it shows the time and gives a one-touch access to the alarm.

The Apple Watch still depends on an iPhone. 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. The Apple Watch is a status symbol for iOS devotees but WatchOS 2 shows that Apple is learning from its mistakes, Engadget reports.
