WatchOS7 update problems

Same issues since updating my S3 to latest OS7. Multiple reboots and lockouts.

Plus noticed when tracking fitness that heart rate stops working and leaves --|-- on the screen. Completely useless for tracking your heartrate whilst working out. Noticed that there is a new supplemental update, but even though the iPhone app lists the update as " auto install" it never installs (yes my watch is on charge and right next to my phone)

Very disappointed Apple.

I guess it can seem that way, but they are still selling the S3 brand new on their site, so it would seem they need to keep this working.

I too just upgraded from a S0 in July and it was working fine on OS6.

I upgraded my watch to the iOS 7, and ever since then I am unable to read my watch face. It looks like it zooms in on the Home Screen and doesn’t go back to normal. It stays zoomed in. I have to do a hard reset on my watch just to turn it off and start it back up again. That’s the main issue I’ve seen with it. I also had to restart my watch brand new just to install the new update. ☹️ But I haven’t noticed the battery issue or my watch not signing into my MacBook. 🤷‍♀️

Also in the new watch7 it has a new watchface, but whoever has the s3 can not get them nor can someone who has a newer version send them. sorry for my english but i am translating with google translation

I had to unpair mine and start over like a new watch to get it to do the update. Since then it has restarted itself at least 5 times a day at random times while I’m wearing the watch. Super frustrating.

I FOUND THE FIX TO Auto Unlock NOT WORKING.

I had the same problem not being able to get Auto Unlock with Apple Watch to work. Almost 2 hrs. with Apple support with no solution. After several hours over 2-3 days of online searching I finally found the solution, at least for me.

Since the error message said my Mac couldn't communicate with my iPhone I simply connected my iPhone to my Mac with a USB cable. I think re-tried to enable Auto Unlock. Bingo! It worked instantly. I did this for both of my Macs which previously would not enable auto unlock.

Yes. It is very frustrating! Apple has known or should have known about this long enough to acknowledge the problem and announce when a fix can be expected. I have spent many hours resetting and reinstalling software on both my iPhone and watch in an unsuccessful attempt to fix this on my own. Not very good PR for Apple to postpone a remedy.

Not only startup problems, but also many apps that stop working. By the way, with all the new updates (ios 14.0.1 and. 7.0.1) that Apple is releasing, there are problems that come up. We are not used to this, since Steve Jobs passed away things are going downhill. Too many updates. If this is Apple for the future, I'll say goodbye to Apple. Maybe a new sales technique?

After update os7 on my watch series 5 I have problems with the battery. At the end off the day he is empty 10% left. Normal 50 or 40 percent left if I do no exercises.

I hope that they find a solution.

Same problems, Watch Series 3 running Watch OS 7. Random reboots, screen will sometimes appear black when tilting wrist (though phone will wake up if I press Digital Crown), activity complications not loading properly, and requests for passcode even after I have already unlocked. Also screen sometimes completely unresponsive to touch. Very disappointing; essentially this “update” has rendered my watch completely unreliable and useless.

Guys, not sure others has the same phenomenon, but i do believe reboot is connected to leave my wifi zone. When leaving home, i am not checking my Series3, so probably reboot, but pull menu down to up and a walkie talkie is set on, i realize it has rebooted.

Maybe, Apple is beating me that i am leaving my home in this hard covid time, stay at home initiative.... :-)

The comments about this being related to WiFi seem to be correct. My Series 3 watch (with cellular) reboots regularly after leaving my house and home WiFi. It's also happened a few other times, likely when there was a gap in cell service. It has never rebooted while at home. The watch is always connected to my iPhone. The 7.0.1 update was not a fix.

Interesting conclusion, I too noticed the reboot when away from home. I do have the cellular watch. Was at home all day yesterday and no reboot. Curious if it has to do with apps on the modular watch face. I have carrot for weather on my watch face along with:

• Calendar
• Carrot
• Messages
• Reminders
• World Clock

Me too. Watch crashes at random, doesn’t communicate GPS data with a workout, Health App on my phone says there is no data from the paired watch but activity does arrive in health and other apps can access it. I had to un-pair and re-pair the watch to get it to update at all as apparently no room then masses of room. Renamed watch doesn’t show in Health app on phone. The whole thing is a disaster.

Watch 3, Dec 2017 OS 7.0.1

iPhone 8plus May 2018 OS 14.0.1

My series 3 has had issues since I updated to os7. It reboots every other hour or so, which is very annoying. It is also freezing when switching between apps and doesn't seem to hold a charge like it used to. I never had to charge the watch midday before and now I have to put it on the charger when I get back from the gym. I used to be able to go the full day without a charge, I wouldn't even think about charging it until I was getting ready for bed. Hopefully there's a fix for these issues soon!
