My iOS 10 download for my iPhone 6 was only 1.1GB, and I wasn't running any betas on it, just stock 9.3.5. 

There's also new iTunes Terms and Conditions you'll need to accept before doing anything with the App Store or iTunes today. 

Same here - just requested, we'll see how long this takes

Edit: I should have brought my watch charger with me to get watchOS too

"What you need to know about the Apple Watch Series 2"

Battery life? Seriously, what is the battery life. If I charge it overnight, and go for a 90 mins run in the morning using GPS, will it still last all day? GPS is very expensive battery wise (my Garmin 225 gets about 10 hours with GPS running, or about 3 weeks if you don't use GPS). Given the Apple Watch lasts barely 24 hours just with normal use, a 1 - 2 hour workout in the morning is going to affect things. Let's say you go to Yosemite and do one of those 4-hour hikes (like they demo'ed) using GPS?

Sorry to be a negative nanny, but no one has mentioned battery life at all, and it's one of the most important things in a sports watch,

https://www.apple.com/watch/battery.html

An 8-hour workout paired with the iPhone's GPS is like a 5-hour workout using the watch GPS. So a hit, but not too bad. Why anyone would do an 8-hour run (even 27k runners take much less time)...a 5-hour hike sans-phone more likely.

Typical use is the same as the original - 18 hours:

Testing conducted by Apple in August 2016 using preproduction Apple Watch Series 1, Apple Watch Series 2, and Apple Watch Edition, each paired with an iPhone; all devices tested with prerelease software. All-day battery life is based on 18 hours with the following use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use, and a 30‐minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, over the course of 18 hours. Battery life varies by use, configuration, and many other factors; actual results will vary.

fwiw, when I do workouts, I stream via the iPhone - that's a hit to battery life.

So a one hour run in the morning will use 20% of the battery, so the 18 hours life will be reduced to about 14 hours. 6am run, it'd be dead by 8pm.

I love the idea of the watch, but this would be my main reason to not get one so far.
