You need iOS 10 first (if you don't already have it) and then it appeared in the watch app on the iPhone.

Be warned though. I started mine at 0600 and it's still going!

Downloaded and it took forever to install, maybe best to install it while you sleep

Everything seems faster but not a fan of swiping left and right to change clock faces

Sorted, downloading now. There was a beta profile on my watch even though I hadn't run any watch betas. Must have been installed as part of the IOS 10 beta. Deleted and rebooted, now all go.

Loving it! New Dock system seems great and I like the new faces and being able to change them so easily.
The Scribble option for input works very well so far.
Very pleased!

And - hooray - activity measured in kJ now.

Mine has always been in calories, I didn't actively change anything and now it's in kJ.

It's all customisable from the Health app on your phone. Mine is still OS2 and is in kJ

It seems you're quite correct! I didn't realise I could change it. But it changed today by itself regardless.

This update is what it should have been from the start, soooo much more usable now! Especially being able to write replies to messages on the watch without using dictation or pre-set messages. Next update pleasseeeeeeeee have 3rd party watch faces!

Updating was very annoying, I don't know if it was co-incidence or not but I could only get the update when I set my iOS10 iPhone to a US VPN, then it let me download Watch OS3.
