Apple Watch Ultra Black Screen

With an update to 10.0.1, I can`t reproduce it on Torchlight anymore ( torchlight fixed???) but the problem still exists, and now it is the same as you mentioned above with a battery < 50% :(

I say your comments on Reddit also - but I don`t think this is a problem with the phone ( there are verification states before the update that must guarantee the update is not broken)

Meanwhile I also paired it with my wife`s iPhone 14 - random black screen still happens.

Thanks for the shortcut advice I`ll try it when the issue happens again.

btw: On my watch, it also has a different bug: while the shortcut works from the phone, or manually when selected, it doesn`t work when pressing the action button

Hi,

My problem is very similar to yours. I'm on my 2nd AW Ultra after replacing the previous defective unit with a similar problem.

Now the problem persists on my replacement unit as well. A few months ago this happened once a week. Now it happens more frequently like every day 1-2 times, just like the previous AWU.

My warranty will end this month. Afraid they will ignore the problems.

I reset the device again and set it up as new without installing anything or changing default watch face - it happens.

That`s definitely an issue with "AlwaysOn" feature (screen drivers or software) as workaround mentioned above when you disable/enable that feature works and display is visible again for some time

I have the same issues like this. I'm using my replacement unit. Got it 4 month ago. But now, the problem re-appear again like my previous Apple Watch Ultra.

I know it will get worse since the frequency of the black screen getting more frequent now. I already tried using a different iPhone but the problem persists. The black screen will be okay when take off the watch from your wrist.

So hard to replicate the issues at the service center.

The warranty already end. Can I get another replacement unit Apple? The battery health is still 100%. So frustating.

I have this problem but under different conditions. I use my Apple Watch Ultra 2 for sleep. When I do, I put it in "Theater Mode" and then go into focus settings and choose "Sleep." (My sleep schedule is too variable to set a specific time to have the Watch start to monitor sleep. So I have to do it this manual way.) Occasionally, when I wake, the screen will not come on after tapping it, as it should. It stays black. I can feel haptics when I touch the screen and rotate the digital crown, etc., so I assume the watch is still "working." I have been able to restore the screen to normal by doing a hard reset (hold both the digital crown and adjacent button to Apple logo appears. But this is an annoying bug which clearly others are experiencing.

I hâve the same exact problem, sometimes if I keep the battery charged to above 80% it can stay on for half the day the moment it gets to 60% I’ll have to remove the watch multiple times so the watch becomes non functional. Has anyone found a solution to this problem

Any update or resolution on this issue? I am having the same problem. Screen randomly goes black. Varying battery levels and times of day.

Aloha! I had the same issue! After trying 141526266226 different things finally solved my problem. Probably your lowpower mode is on. Turn it off :) Valaaaaa

were You be able to fix this problem. This is driving me crazy every single day

There is no update so snfortunately, you have to bear with it.

Setup a shortcut to turn the "display on" feature off and use the action button to trigger it

This happened to me suddenly after over a year, I just turned on the sleep mode and then turned it off, amazingly that worked.

I am having the same experience as Ajundi. Very frustrating. No relief in sight. Come on Apple team. Please remedy. It’s probably software but may be faulty sensors. Help!
