WatchOS7 update problems

For what it's worth, mine seems to have settled down since returning from holiday and being stuck in the house mostly on wifi.

That to me suggests it is 3G/Wifi transitioning related as someone else also surmised early in the thread.

That was on 7.0.1, I've just updated to 7.0.2 this morning and I can now add my c/card to wallet which seemed be broken for me previously?

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?

Too early to make any firm conclusions. My update to beta 3 took place overnight. I've only been wearing my watch for about 2 hrs. since update. Still at home. I haven't "stressed" it by leaving the house yet. Some work to do in my yard this morning. This afternoon will drive around to do errands and see what happens.

Yeah, my Apple Watch Series 3 has been locking on its own due to my weather app crashing for some unknown reason since I updated my watch to WatchOS7. It would be great if Apple would release an update to fix this please. I’m sick and tired of my watch locking on it’s own from my weather app crashing every time! Thanks.

My iPhone 6s Plus acted up years ago prompting us to buy a new phone. Only to find out it was the software making it act strange.

I believe this is exactly what’s going on this time around. My series 3 has the same issues. And of course they release the new watches expecting so many to upgrade.

not cool. We need a fix!

I wanna say that I updated to watchos 7.1 beta 3 yesterday and i haven’t had any reboot today. I have had reboots with watchos 7.0-7.0.1-7.0.2 if I don’t have any reboot for tomorrow, I will recomend you update to watchos 7.1 beta 3(that’s could be an oficial fix)

got it rebooted 4 times yesterday. 3 times day before yesterday and 2 times today (till now, its 1130 IST).. God knows when will this be fixed..? if any one get ant solution please recommend..

common apple.. fit it now. You still have series 3 in your sales lineup.. why you want to have a negative feedback of lined up product..

PS: I am on WOS 7.0.2 with iPhone11 on 14.0.1

Unfortunately the update to beta 3 doesn't solve the problem for the continuous reboots..

Restarting about every 20-30 minutes.. Just not workable this way.

Hope they'll come up with a solution/update really really soon...

Series 3 watch OS 7.0.1. Went on a trail hike today and when I got back to my car, my phone had turned off. Had to turn it back on myself. When I picked up my iPhone XR, it asked me to renter my Apple ID. WTF? Just want my stuff to work like it’s supposed to. We need this fixed!!

I updated my Watch 3 to 7.0.2 a few days ago. The problems remain. When I leave my home and our WiFi, the Watch repeatedly locks on my wrist. It's also locking, with less frequency while at home, but it it does happen. It rebooted also today, as it was trying to load Weather.

My iPhone 7+ is running 14.0.1

So disappointing. One of my favorite devices has become totally undependable. And still no word from Apple. Not a great way to encourage me to buy a new iPhone, even though I do need one. No way I'm putting money into another Apple device until this issue is addressed and fixed.

I have good news for you. Two days have passed without reboots since I have watchos 7.1 beta 3. I have also seen that in many pages that 7.1 beta 3 has disappeared the reboots for many people. I recommend updating to 7.1 beta 3. I have seen that many do not understand how to update to beta 3. You can look for tutorials on youtube about that

If you don't want to, continue with your apple watch with reboots all day. I simply found a solution for many people who do need it. and when you want to stop having it, simply delete the profile and continue with normal updates. is so easy

I haven’t updated some text initial 7.0 whatever update. I have had no reboots and I’m sitting outside of my Wi-Fi area currently. I had tons of reboots until yesterday. Something has changed but I have not updated.

Has anyone tried to just turn off WiFi on the watch? I have too have having the reboots and notice the patterns related to WiFi, although my observation is when coming into range of a open WiFi area such as a store is when it occurs, not the leaving of connected WiFi areas. I have reboots occur when traveling country roads that don’t have anything resembling WiFi. My understanding is the Apple Watch 3 should be functional without WiFi and just use Bluetooth. The only thing that will not work is WatchOS updates with this setup. To turn off WiFi look on the watch in settings under WiFi. An interesting benefit is things appear to load faster over Bluetooth (emails, news apps, etc.). Since I have tried 7.0.1, 7.0.2, wipeout my watch and then pair my watch without any impact on the rebooting, I figured I will give this a try.

I installed 7.1 beta 3 last night. I’ve worn my watch all day with no reboots so far. But I didn’t leave my home today. Most of my problems seem to occur when I am away from home. So not much of a test yet. Tomorrow I will be driving my car which seems to be when most of my reboots occur. I will report back in 24- 48 hrs. I guess you could say I am cautiously hopeful.
