Apple recently released the first big software update for Watch. The update brings a wide range of fixes and improvements to smartwatch's performance.

The update, dubbed Watch OS 1.0.1 offers improved performance for Siri, accessibility and third-party apps. The fix to third-party apps could be the most significant update given a number of Apple Watch users initially complained how slow apps work on the smartwatch.

The update also brings display support for new Emoji characters.

Additional language support for Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, Thai and Turkish has also been implemented.

Another two specific health tracking functions have been addressed too, which includes Calorie counting for indoor cycling and rowing workouts, and distance and pace measurements for outdoor workouts.

The update for Apple Watch can be installed through iPhone.
