WatchOS7 update problems

My series 3 completed an auto update overnight to Watch OS7. Today it has shut itself down at least 3 times, locked itself while on my wrist about 4 times, failed to load complications on multiple faces (weather, activity rings, date etc), disconnected from my phone at least twice. It has also dropped to less than 50% battery in about 8 hours, normally it is still in the 80’s. Is anyone else having these issues? This has been the buggiest upgrade I have seen.

Hi everyone, I just dropped off my MacBook Pro for warranty service and asked the "Genius" who was helping me about the

Watch OS7 7.01 Software Problem.... He actually acknowledged the issue and said they were working on a fix for the next Software update release....

I’m having some similar issues as well. I have the series 3, and ever since I updated it I can’t even get mine to pair with my phone. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting guides I could find, but none have been helpful. My battery that use to last me two days with full charge, now barely lasts 8 hours. I got this watch Christmas 2019, brand new. So, it’s very disappointing that I paid for something that’s barely lasted 11 months. Hopefully they get this fixed soon.

I’m also facing the same issue, where my series 3 keeps rebooting & locking while on wrist.. it is really frustrating because you bring the wrist up to do something and there it is Apple logo plus it takes too much time to boot. Is there a way to rollback the WatchOS or is Apple going to address this issue?

My Apple Watch S3 - recently replaced by Apple with a refurbished S3, started to have problems the day after it auto-updated to WatchOS 7.2.


The motion and heart sensors stopped working, screen started displaying white snow and lines, the watch crashed frequently, and the battery discharged within a few hours (even though I had just received it back from apple pair as a refurbished item a few months ago.)

I have been having problems with watchOS 7 since day 1. First my watch would restart every day automatically, now it is deleting half my apps. I woke up this morning to half of the complications gone on my watch face as a result of their apps being deleted. I wish there was a way to get a refund or at least have Apple fix this in an update.
