Apple Inc. delayed the first major software update for Apple Watch because of a bug it discovered in the operating system that couldn’t be fixed before Wednesday’s planned release.
The new watch software will be available soon, Apple spokeswoman Amy Bessette said, without providing a specific time frame. She declined to say what caused the problem, only that it’s "taking a bit longer to fix than we expected."
