How to install the update
The first thing is to install iOS 11. For this you can access the settings menu of your iPhone or iPad and within the General> Software update section, the update to iOS 11 should appear. If you were already testing the previous betas and you have the Golden Master version installed, no update will appear because it really is the same as the one that Apple has released today.
Once you have installed iOS 11 go to the Watch application on your iPhone With the Apple Watch connected and in General> Software update, the update to watchOS 4 will appear. As before, if you were already with the GM version, no update will appear because it is the same as the current one.

and the corresponding saturated servers that take 1 hour and a half to download…. grrrr
I have the gm in the iphone 6 and in the watch app I have the 1 I never got the 4, nor the gm not now….
Hello
I have a question regarding the updates on the watch, does it work the same as on the iPhone?
that is, in both devices I had the developer profile installed and using the betas, now that the final version came out, uninstall the profiles and restore the iPhone with iTunes from scratch by re-downloading the full version of ios 11 and installing.
Can you do the same with the watch?
I ask because I have restored the watch but the watchos11 is not reinstalled from scratch like on the iPhone, is there any way to do it?
I have updated my ipone 11s to ios 5 and I am having problems with the coverage, it practically does not take coverage when before it caught 4g perfectly. Has anyone ever happened to you?
The fact that in WatchOS 4 you can no longer navigate the music library of the iPhone has seemed like a huge shit. Moving on from updating….
I don't know if I'm the only one who barely noticed, although I haven't read this "new" feature… With the Music App and the WatchOS 4 Now Playing shortcut, you can now fast-forward or backward the songs you're playing on Spotify, which you couldn't do in WatchOS 3, but only pause / play or adjust the volume.
