watchOS 2 is now available across the globe.
Apple pulled the major operating system update just 90 minutes before it was due to roll-out last week after a “critical bug” was discovered.
The Cupertino company today launched watchOS 2, some four days after it was planned to roll-out.
For Apple Watch owners looking to upgrade their operating system, the update can be installed from the Apple Watch app.
Head to General > Software Update to install the new version of watchOS.
watchOS 2 requires iOS 9 to run, so you'll have to update your iPhone before you can try the new watch faces.

Demand for the first major software update for the Apple Watch is expected to be high

Demand is expected to be high, so there may be a delay. While you're waiting, why not check out these hidden features in iOS 9?
Be aware – those looking to install watchOS 2 on their Apple Watch will need at least 50 per cent, be attached to MagSafe charger and be within wifi range of the paired iPhone.
watchOS 2, which was first unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference back in June, brings a number of new features to the smartwatch.
The software update will allow third-party apps to live on the Watch for the first time – rather than be sent from the iPhone – which should speed up the device.
 

Apple’s watchOS 2 brings third-party complications, new watch faces and speed improvements

Information from these apps can also be displayed in a watch face, thanks to support for third-party complications.
These can include headlines, flight information, calendar appointments and even the heart-beat of one of your patients, as Apple demonstrated on-stage at a keynote last week.
On the subject of watch faces, new Apple designs have been bundled with watchOS 2.
Amongst them are photo faces, which support the new Live Photo format introduced with the iPhone 6s and a face with time-lapse videos playing in the background.
