Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Watch freezes on home screen

My watch freezes only on Home Screen where I can’t swipe up or down for Notification Center. This only happens on Home Screen. I can still touch on any of the functions on the Home Screen (activity rings, weather, etc.) and once on the other screen, I can swipe up or down. This happens regularly and the only way around it is to restart the watch which is getting to be VERY annoying.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
