WatchOS7 update problems

Same here, Series 3 just purchased a month ago and then it automatically

upgraded to iOS7. I’m going to receive a call tomorrow from Apple for checkup,

but after reading all the post I’ll just wait for a Fix that hopefully will come

soon. If not will return to store and forget about Apple Watch. This seems

like the battery issue with iPhone 6 to get us into purchasing newer model......

I am comforted to see that I’m not alone in this. I even called Apple support and the 2nd tier support person automatically suggested that it’s a hardware issue, that she has a similar model and that she didn’t run into a similar problem and it’s probably me dropping the watch. And since I’m out of warranty, then the repair is going to be on me.

Extremely disappointed with this approach. If an Apple moderator is listening, maybe you can review your team training procedures so that you don’t put it on the customer’s back first prior to even understanding what the problem is.

Well based on the trade in price on their site I won’t let it go for $95, that’s ridiculous. I crossing my fingers it has watch os6. I’ll keep in touch with my senior advisor if the issue happens when and if the new one has watch os 7

This is really getting old. My Apple Watch 3 is rebooting or locking multiple times whenever I'm away from WiFi. So when I'm out driving or shopping, the watch is useless to me, during those times I rely on it. It makes using Apple Pay unreliable, map directions unreliable, keeping up with text messages, even seeing the time, all totally unreliable while I'm away from my house. The reboots take upwards of 10 minutes to finish. The constant lock outs are so frustrating.

Very disappointing that Apple released such an unstable update for the Watch 3. Why haven't they made any announcements or at least acknowledging the issue? My watch is almost worthless now, those times I have learned to depend on it.

I am highly disappointed in Apple right now with the WatchOS7 update. They should have tested this OS with older series watches thoroughly before releasing this OS update. Or they should have earned older series owners that their watch could not support this update. I find it very hard to believe they didn’t know about all these bugs. If Apple didn’t know about these bugs then their Software Quality Analysts are missing the Mark. My watch randomly reboots multiple times per day. I’m loved my Apple Watch before this release and now highly disappointed. Shame on you Apple and you also knew we cannot revert back to the old OS.

I was about to chuck my watch against the wall because of this HORRIBLE HORRIBLE upgrade until I saw this discussion. Steve J has got to be rolling over in his grave. My watch bricks all the time, reboots, freezes, loses connection to my iPhone, won’t properly pay with Apple Pay... just freaking awful. Whatever happened with quality control, Apple? This is not an isolated incident, but

affects a ton of us. Shameful what’s become of my Apple.

I have faced all the issues most of you have faced - blank screen, overheating symbol, reboot..what not. First of all to fit this upgrade needed to unpair and pair to create space and now this. Unfortunately I just notice that my warranty period is over on 1st Oct :(

when is Apple planning for fix update?

I've never had Auto-Update enabled, (on any device) yet had these problems whenever I left my house.

I updated to to 7.0.2 last night. Until I'm away from "remembered" WiFi, I won't be able to say if the issues are fixed, because it rarely happened when at home.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! My Watch worked great before the update— I charged almost every other day! Now, I can't track my activities or sleep... or even tell what time it is, since I get the clock "loading" icon more than half the time I check the watch. I have to keep it on the charger at least twice in a day, and sometimes it doesn't even start up again for an hour or so. SOOOO FRUSTRATING to spend good money on a watch that Apple practically BROKE with software!!! I hope it's fixed soon.

How do you "remove" the music app? It's not an issue for me, and I don't use Apple Music, but don't see a way to actually remove the app from the watch. You swipe right and hit the X, but the app is still on the watch.

Battery don’t drain as bad but has reset 3 times so far today won’t track my movements which is the whole reason I got this device exercise stuff just have to go back to fit bit I guess cheaper and worked no stupid updated crap if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

I've also been trying since yesterday to update my watch with the latest software. Even when my watch "works," it "won't connect" for the update. I've tried on the charger and on my arm. Everything else is connected, so not sure why there is such a big problem! I've also tried rebooting several times.

My Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular is rebooting on its own several times daily even though it has been updated to watchOS 7.0.2. One the most horrible software updates for any products I’ve owned. Seriously making me consider looking to FitBit for a solution, not an idle threat as I loved my Pebble Watch whose DNA lives on at FitBit.

Mine was sent off to repair centre and is being returned back to me today as apparently they could not duplicate the problem!!! What a joke! It’s been rebooting itself up to 4 times every day. I’m not happy.

Updated to 7.1 beta 3 overnight. Too early to know if this will help. I may have to wait a day or two to make an assessment. I sometimes go all day and only have one reboot. Other days I have at least 3 or 4. No clear associations, but it does appear that leaving home may be a trigger of sorts. I never reboot immediately after leaving home but usually an hour or more later. On the other hand, I have had days when I am in and out of my home several times without a reboot. My last auto reboot was yesterday while I was driving to the grocery store.

Has anyone yet had enough experience with the beta 3 to give us follow up?
