Problems with Apple Watch after updating to watchOS 10.0.1

Since updating, I've lost a bundle of functions such as waterproofing, silence, 'where is my phone', wifi on/off, battery charge. I've chatted with Apple who had no answers and the chat after an hour of going in circles dropped out. I am very unhappy with this update, it has complicated my watch and I can't revert.


has anyone else had this problem? I use to be able to click on the watchface, swipe down and there they all were. Now I just get the weather (which I already get on the face, so it's not exactly a great update but an annoying duplication.)

And I can't waterproof my watch anymore.

Any solutions? Anyone?

If you push the button underneath the crown on the right side of the Watch, all of your controls will be there. You used to be able to swipe up and get access to water ejection, ping your phone, silence, your phone, etc. I was having the same problem this morning and came across it by accident. Hopefully this helps.

Why?

Apart from having to press the button rather than swiping up.. I can’t swipe left or right for anything, when I used to be able to move between my clock faces..

I now have blocks in the resting mode rather than the date in the complications. My Paces are blocked out until I touch them in complications.

Please tell me what are the benefits from this “upgrade “????

Hey I now have to scroll way more for my activity app where before I could see all my data in one screen - now I have to scroll five times to get my total step count. Is there anyway to change back or to consolidate the data? Seriously have lost a ton of function and will not use the "function" that has been added. In my world scrolling is death and for the life of me I don't get these changes.

Thank you for this information. Condescending statements about my emotions are always so helpful. This solved all of the problems I'm encountering with the update.

When I say it's hard to learn new things when you are upset, I am not being condescending. I am giving you advice based on years of teaching adults (up into their nineties) how to use smart phones. But, I also understand you can't pour more tea into a full cup.

The issue that I wanted to get across to Apple is that they made way too many changes in an update with no warning and no help to adapt. It's overwhelming. Plus, many things are simply not working correctly and it's not right for Apple to do this to their customers. Starting your response with "OMG!!!" was clearly ridiculing my extreme frustration that I'm feeling about the update, and following it with advice on how to manage my emotions is most certainly condescending. I also teach and mentor and find that I distract people from finding a solution when I focus on their emotions instead of the issue that they are trying to resolve.

I’m having much the same problems since I updated my watch the other day ☹️ Battery dies very very quickly now where it didn’t before I updated to OS 10.10.1. It records that I have been moving all through the night, when I have been asleep in bed. It also shows I’m using loads and loads of calories while I’m asleep. This has only happened since the update. It’s absolutely awful ☹️☹️☹️ I used to charge it once a day before the update, now sometimes I have to charge it 2 or 3 times a day ☹️☹️ I don’t like having to find the apps by pressing the button under the crown…..I really wish I’d never updated.

Apparently, no developer used the Fitness app in the outdoors when the added steps were incorporated to complete a workout or walk. Can't just END the app. While it continues to tick away your time, I try desperately in the sunshine to see the "are you sure" button which is in red, invisible outdoors on a bright day. Incredible hindrance to what was a good app.
