On September 19, Apple servers released the watchOS 6 update for the Apple Watch Series 3 and Series 4, leaving both Series 1 and Series 2 out of the update, two models that were compatible with the sixth version of watchOS as announced at WWDC. At the time of watchOS 6 launch.
It has taken more than a month since the release of watchOS 6 in its final version for users of Series 1 and Series 2 to have the opportunity to install this new version, a version that comes directly to these models with version 6.1 of watchOS. The only reason for delaying the launch could be optimization of the operating system for less powerful devices.
The delay in the launch of watchOS 6 for both the Series 1 and Series 2 may be the first notice that both models will not update to the next version of watchOS. This new update is not only available for the Series 1 and Series 2, but it is also available for the rest of the models that have arrived later.
The main novelty that watchOS 6.1 offers us is the compatibility with AirPods Pro, the new wireless headphones from Apple with active noise cancellation and that are available since yesterday on the Apple website for 279 euros.
Another novelty that comes from the hand of this new watchOS update, we find it in the improved battery consumption in the new Apple Watch Series 5, especially for all those users who make use of the always-on screen, one of the functions that has caused a headache for users who have bought this new generation of Apple Watch.
My daughter's watch, which is series 1, does not get the update that you comment, it is still in 4.3.2.

So it will be Series 0 the first to come out. The Series 1 and Series 2 came out at the same time and it is now when they are updated through the Watch application.
Well, you're absolutely right, it's the first one I had and I thought it started in series 1…. Thank you very much for the clarification.
regards
For that we are.
Greetings.
I find that the Apple watch update method is slow and tedious
»This new update is not only available for Series 1 and Series 2, but is available for all Apple Watch models.»
Error, the first generation stayed in watchOS4
Good
It is understood that it is not available for Series 0, since if it is not updated to watchOS 5 it does not update to watchOS.
6. Anyway, I have made that paragraph more specific.
Greetings and thanks for the contribution.
