Apple Watch Ultra owners can download the update by opening up the Apple Watch app on the iPhone and going to General > Software Update. To install the new software, the Apple Watch needs to have at least 50 percent battery, it needs to be placed on a charger, and it needs to be in range of the ‌‌‌‌iPhone‌‌‌‌.

According to Apple's release notes, the update addresses an issue that could cause audio to be distorted during phone calls when using the speakers.

Customers who preordered the Apple Watch Ultra on launch day will be receiving their orders tomorrow, and Apple retail stores will also likely have stock available.

Can't believe that anyone would be unhappy that Apple are fixing problems proactively.

Pretty common these days. Happens with other companies, and other products.

Unless it is an Android product, since you'd probably need Mint Chocolate Chip in order to run the latest version and your brand new device would be running the already obsolete Banana Split.

Would you rather they wait a week just so that won't be the case?

So you guys complain when something isn't fixed, and now you complain when something is fixed, especially proactively. You guys expect perfection in a world that is becoming more and more imperfect by the day. Absolutely NOTHING will make you happy or satisfy you, other than the apple hate.
