Apple on Wednesday released watchOS 6.2.1, a minor update that addresses a FaceTime bug found in the previous version of the software.
The new watchOS update addresses an issue that prevented Apple Watch from participating in FaceTime Audio calls with devices running iOS 9.3.6 and earlier and OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and earlier.
watchOS 6.2.1 arrives just a day after Apple released iOS 13.4.1 and iPadOS 13.4.1, which both contained the same bug fix.
Users can update to watchOS 6.2.1 by heading to General > Software Update in the iOS Watch app. Apple Watches must be at least 50% charged, placed on a charger and in range of an iPhone to update.
Apple last updated the Apple Watch operating system in March with watchOS 6.2, which introduced in-app purchases for apps, an expansion of ECG support to three new countries, and a couple of bug fixes.

I updated my Series 4 without issue. But noticed after the update that the display was hyper-bright. I went to settings and turned it down, but found that even if I turned the brightness all the way up it wasn't as bright as right after the update.
Anyone else notice this?
I ddi not need to reboot or restore my Series 4, I simply went to the Settings app on the watch and adjusted the brightness. So far, so good for me.
OLED screens are susceptible to burn in, so very high brightness is not only a battery drain but a potential future screen problem.
