I'm traveling and do not have access to wifi...only cellular data. I do not understand why an update of just 30mb requires a wifi connection. That's absurd!
anybody seeing issues with apple watch after this last update?.........both my watches are now locking up, screen goes black and becomes unresponsive.....had no issues with 9.3 but 9.3.1 seems to have created a issue with the watches..........maybe blue tooth, if I switch its connection off on the phone I can reboot the watch, but as soon as it reconnects........bam! locked again.

The only changes from iOS 9.3 to iOS 9.3.1 were in mobileactivationd, swcd, symptomsd, and SharedWebCredentials.framework
swcd (which stands for Shared Web Credentials daemon) was the cause of the link bug. The mobileactivationd handles the Activation feature that was buggy in the first iOS 9.3 for older devices. symptomsd Handles gathering system diagnostics and sending them to Apple. It's part of the CrashReporter stuff.
Nothing in those would cause an issue with the Apple Watch.
However, iOS 9.3.0 updated watchOS to 2.2, so that could be the cause if it's not a hardware issue.
Yes, well currently the recovery is going into a loop saying "The iPhone software server could not be contacted. An unknown error occured (1671)." Meanwhile the download of 2.27 GB of iOS 9.3.1 is going on. This is just fucking wonderful. Serves me right for living dangerously and updating something the same day it is released.
Could not be contacted to download a 30MB update that I got in seconds. Does your ISP (or router) have an issue.
No my connection is/was excellent to everything else. It's just that Apple's servers were overloaded and it took over 4 hours to download iOS 9.3.1 2.27 GB restore image. So after 5 hours I finally have my phone back.
