WatchOS7 update problems

I have all the same problems and indeed this is the worst Watch OS release I have ever seen.

Apple deteriorated instead of improving. If it continues like this we will switch back with everything from MAC. Am really getting excited about all kinds of problems with tons of updates.

My watch is not liking the Watch os7 update. It is three months old and had zero problems until I updated. Now it randomly resets itself whilst I’m wearing it, the battery barely lasts a day, when I do a run or walk workout it no longer plots the route on the map only the start point and it won’t unlock my MacBook. Why did I upgrade???

watch os7 is having many bugs. When i started my watch after many days (was not wearing for few days), phone asked to reset watch and pair again with update option. and in the process, while setting pin for watch, the keyboard of watch was not working. unable to type the keys, it's responsive was gone.

somehow it got updated and paired. Now watch face is unable to change. in my watch app, the faces library some time blanks out in new face section. and some time settings of any face. and as soon as i add the face, it gets crashed.

So much bugs. Did they tested.

Device info-

watch series 4 (40mm)

iphone 8 with iOS14

We have three watches in our family and all three are shutting down and resetting numerous times a day. Called apple and they said they hadn't heard of it. Shocking. Your job is to find issues with updates and fix them. This thread is only a few days old and has lots of confirmations. Pay attention apple!

I have the Series 3 GPS. My wife has the Series 3 Cellular. Both are experiencing frequent restarts.

I can't even get to settings to adjust privacy and try the "health services/heart monitoring" trick.

This is annoying.

When I left my house earlier it was rebooting as I drove out of the neighborhood. I just left work and noticed it rebooting as I’m driving off of campus. Seems like switching off of WiFi causes it to crash. That’s the only repeatability I’ve noticed of the issue.

Same problem here. I don't know if this problem is a software issue or a hardware issue. I love the fact that my watch operates faster, but I hate it how it just randomly shuts off during the day.

YES!! Same here.

My watch switches itself off and then wont reconnect to my phone for ages.

It wouldnt load the new Watch OS7 initially saying that I didnt have enough memory so I did a complete factory reset and reloaded it as a new watch and it too 4 hours to fully update.

It fails to load complications and just causes me no end of grief throughout the day.

FULL OF BUGS!!!

I ran the public beta on series 3 which beta versions have a diagnostic reporting platform the problem was reported to apple 45 times in the duration of the 30 day testing period in which they did not fix before the public release so they do know about the issue with 3 and 4

I think Apple is doing to make their New watch sell better, are typical bad pranks. If they continue to work like this, many of their customers will get tired of this or maybe already are. I already think that if it doesn't improve Apple will say goodbye!

Same problems here with the series 3, me and my wife have both the same issues since the latest update.Schutting down,input in watch app on iPhone doesn’t make the changes on the watch,.....probably a nice try for buying a new one😬😬

My watch battery is dead by 2:30 every day since I updated. I also no longer get any GPS data when I do an outdoor run or walk. I’ve turned it off and on and unpaired/repaired it. I’m about 24 hours away from buying a Garmin.

I see this in the error log. It only restarted 5 times today. "resetcounter".

Hi, I had updating issues - had to release memory / unpair to get it loaded then it took around 4 hours to install. Repaired from the backup, now my credit cards won't add and the phone has come back with random cards "on file" that aren't mine - luckily I can't add them as I don't have the full detail. I'm not sure if this is to do with the watch os7 or the ios14 update on the phone. Not happy though.

My wife's updated perfectly - now it locks out every few hours.

We've both sent a few hours with apple support with no resolution - I'd guess another update is on the way soon.

Good job the consumers are there to do the beta testing.... :-(

I had that problem where sms texts from android phones would not come through. I did a reset and now it has been working. However, I have the reboot problem. The watch will reboot about every 2 hours or less.
