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....

Mine is at 7.0.3... and my Garmin Instinct is going running tomorrow while I decide what to replace the AW3 with. I was going to upgrade to the latest, but this is leaving a bad taste...

I just updated my Series 3 to Watch OS 7.1 and the issue is back :( I unpaired the watch and repaired it, but still happening.

My Apple Watch 4 has same problems with the battery. With the update 7.1 the battery goes to pick fastly. If I don’t use it too for a day, I have to recharge it because the batteri is at 20%.

Yikes! I didn't realize there was a 7.1 update. I guess I won't be updating to 7.1 anytime soon

This does not appear to be a battery issue on the Series 3. The issue is frequently reboots. This initially happened with Watch OS 7, was resolved in Watch OS 7.02, but now is back with 7.1.
