You can download and install the update on your iPhone by visiting General > Software Update inside the Apple Watch app. Note that your Apple Watch must be both plugged in and charged to a minimum of 50 percent before the installer will run, which means you can not update the device while it's on your wrist. Which is annoying as all get-out.
