Apple Watch Commands 2 in 3 Smart Watch Sales, WatchOS 2 Sweetens the Pitch

From DailyTech: For wearable fans fans of Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) Watch wearable last week brought a substantial dose of disappointment. Apple was widely expected to release Watch OS 2 for the wearable on Wednesday (9/16) having said as much in a Sept. 9 press release, but in the eleventh hour the plug was pulled on the OS 2 rollout.

A statement from Apple explained briefly that some manner of bug was to blame without elaborating further. The company wrote:

We have discovered a bug in development of WatchOS 2 that is taking a bit longer to fix than we expected. We will not release WatchOS 2 today but will shortly.

The delay was somewhat surprising, given that the OS had been in testing since early June and had reached Golden Master status (sort of like "release to manufacturing") on Sept. 9. Fortunately, this unexpected speedbump has been rolled over; nearly a week later, and the update has finally arrived airing Monday.
