Timer Issue on Apple Watch iv os 6.1

When using time custom timer it locks when ending time. The only way to use timer after it locks is to reboot timer. Has anyone else run across this problem?

Apple Watch, watchOS 4

I have found that using Seri to invoke timer works fine "Hay Seri, set timer for 35 seconds". However, once timer is stopped it locks up. Very annoying, especially in gym where I time stretches but don't want to bother others using Seri.


More details - I have 42 mm Apple watch series 3 with GPs, paired to iPhone 11 Pro. Both are at current levels of software WatchOS 5.1 and iOS 13.2.3

I found a resolution that worked for me in fixing this issue 100%.


Make sure you've updated to all current SW version on Watch and iPhone.


Once updated, fully reboot iPhone. THEN fully reboot your watch.


Doing these steps worked in solving my problem. Hopefully you'll have similar results.


My issue is now 100% resolved and all functionality is working properly.
