Apple watch keeps reverting back to KJ everytime it is charged

My Apple watch keeps reverting back to KJ on the home screen every time my watch has been charged and it is driving me crazy! When I look in activity on the watch it is still showing in CAL and in my health app on my phone it is still in CAL but the front face of the watch is in KJ. I know how to fix it every time but I don't feel like I should have to do that every morning. Can someone help?

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.

Hi there


I’m sorry to hear that you Apple Watch is not working properly


I have had the same problem with my Apple Watch and it is to driving me insane!. I believe that its some type of weird bug that has been around since the first release of watchOS 7. I have told apple about the bug so hopefully its fixed.


I hoped this helped!
