Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The timer freezes on my watch after using it several times for 1 and 3 minute intervals. The rest of the watch apps are not frozen. The only way to fix it is a restart. This happens frequently enough to be troublesome.
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
I had the same problem and was resetting each time it happened. Just now discovered that if I closed the timer app (by swiping left), and then asking Siri to set a new timer verbally, it snapped out of the frozen state. Still a bug, but at least it saves me from restarting each time.
Same here. Tried to restart but keeps freezing after I resume.
While we wait on the patch we can still set the watch timer with Siri commands
Me too.
No, I have not seen any instance of fast/unexpected battery draining due to the timer freeze bug. I am using a Series 5 Watch.
perfect! thank you for the fix. hope patch done soon.
This happened to me using the 5 minute timer after using it multiple times in a row. This is so inconvenient when I use my timer while cooking and Thanksgiving is right around the corner!
Thanks this worked!
Adding to the chorus in hopes that a fix happens soon. I use the timer constantly. This is driving me batty.
Thank you for posting very helpful!
Thank you, your method works!
This is now only happening intermittenly for me. Can't seem to use the Siri command for it unless I am doing it wrong. The timer stops working and I have to restart the watch.
my timer is frozen again. I wish I can upload the video here.
👍
I have exactly the same problem. I think the update to 6.1 broke the timer app.
I have noticed the exact same thing.
Apple Watch 4 - OS 6.1 - timer freezes
