WatchOS7 update problems

Same here. Almost daily crashes and reboots, locking on my wrist frequently, complications not loading, and battery draining very fast. On one day it was fully charged at 6am. By 9am it was down to 35% - hadn’t used any apps either.

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.

Also in the new watch7 it has a new monitoring surface, 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 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. 🤷‍♀️

Series 3 GPS here. Tried out the watchOS 7 beta back in August. Worst update ever. I kept experiencing bugs such as seconds on the watch face lagging and rebooting twice a day. Sent it back into Apple to get it downgraded and bought another temporarily in the meantime so I wouldn’t lose my streaks. I returned it when I got my old one back. I am glad to be on watchOS 6 right now. watchOS 7’s official release is no better. After reading about how bad it was, especially on the series 3, I am grateful for this storage bug preventing my watch from being automatically updated to this dumpster fire against my will. Otherwise, I’d have to upgrade to a newer, more expensive watch. I will never update to watchOS 7 as long as it continues to be this bad.

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.

I am in the same boat, been reporting the reboots since the first public beta hoping it would be solved by the time the public release came, but no such luck. Tried remote troubleshooting with Apple Support, have done remote diagnostics, still nothing, supposedly engineers are now looking at it, but no solution so far. 7.0.1 DOES NOT solve it by the way, have that installed and also tried running with NO 3rd party apps just to rule those out and still reboots with only native apps installed.

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.

I am experiencing the same issue as everyone else on this thread. After updating my Apple Watch 3 to iOS 7, the device kept crashing and rebooting all day long. The battery is draining like crazy now after I updated it.

Apple, please fix!

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.
