Wow. That was reminiscent of a Windows update from the 90's. A 4 hour update included system and WearOS updates.

That's about what I would have expected. Glad to hear that my update may have been an aberration.

Anyone experience what is in this article? My update was flawless and I appear to have better battery life. Not yet sold on the grid view.

I can say that after the bizarre 4 hour download and install, once updated, my watch has worked flawlessly. I have only seen a couple of others report long download times for this particular update. However, here are quite a few reports on Reddit and Google Pixel Watch Help regarding the black screen/Bluetooth icon issue. Many others - I'm guessing the majority - have also had flawless updates, just like you.

Yeah, I thought of you when I read about the 4 hour update.
