                   watchOS 9.5.1 Probably Fixes Some Problem

   Adam Engst

   In an update that you'd be forgiven for missing, Apple has released
   watchOS 9.5.1 with the traditionally unhelpful "improvements and bug
   fixes." (The [1]watchOS 9 Updates page still lacks even that
   information.) Apple's [2]Security Updates page also says, "This update
   has no published CVE entries." It's unclear whether that means it fixes
   vulnerabilities without CVE entries or doesn't include any security
   fixes at all. Channeling Apple's lack of enthusiasm and specificity, I
   recommend installing this update sometime when it's convenient and you
   happen to remember. The main reason to install sooner is if you're
   trying to solve a problem with your Apple Watch, such as perennially
   amorphous battery life issues.
