Problems with Apple Watch after updating to watchOS 10.0.1

After the update my brand new Series 9 would drain from 100% power in less than 4 hours. After 3 phone sessions with Apple support I tried a suggestion I saw on here. I deleted all third party apps on my watch, especially Moby Face. Completely solved the problem. It’s worth a try…

You can probably add your other third-party apps back. It's certainly not all of them causing a problem. MobyFace is a known culprit, of course, and there may be others. Try adding a couple back at a time and seeing what happens.

Hi there since this update my battery life has significantly deteriorated on my series 7 watch but the biggest issue is that it no longer desplays heart rate on any of the factory made watch faces. I have reset the watch, turned on all heart related features, wrist sensing, low power modes off, nada. The strange thing is if you tap on the area the heart rate is meant to be displayed it opens the heart rate monitor and takes a reading but refuses point blank to display it on any of the watch screens. I have edited the faces and moved the position of the heart rate around the face with no luck, its there but not visible which is pretty useless if you want it displayed on screen. I have tried every fix available online and in the forums and nothing will fix it. Come on Apple you are supposed to be making these devices easier and more reliable, at least give us the ability to downgrade to the previous firmware version if the current is broken.

I had another strange occurrence related to my Apple Watch. After I installed the latest update, the Watch would no longer open up my MacBook. I followed the instructions to allow this with no luck. Suddenly today, it works again.

The new update to Apple Watch is horrible. Before I could get my heart rate for all day now only when I check it. Everything is moved and I have only had it updated for a couple of hours and have already come close to making an emergency call several times! Why would you take a good thing and ruin it! You need to make lots of adjustments and do an update! It is very user unfriendly!!

My fitness app stops recording my workout when a phone call ends. Confusing options in fitness app when trying to restart, end or whatever. Access to watch options is now clumsy and also hard to read. Like the fitness options, the buttons are highlighted in faint colors. Try to see a red colored end button in the sunlight, ridiculous. Can I just go back to what I had that worked very, very well. Update is a mess of confusion and dysfunction.

(1) Want to delete latest update. My watch (SE) doesn’t have a side button below the crown, only a tiny hole. Find my phone isn’t available anymore, nor is swiping up to check battery level. Hate this update.

After this update my watch stopped showing real time heart rate which it used to do when I was running a third party app that had a continuous monitoring function and I chose heart rate as the bottom complication for a 3 complication face. Now heart rate seems to be updated randomly, anywhere between 2 and 45 minutes. This was a major reason I used the watch, and support has been useless.

Since the latest update I also am unable to get airplane mode, battery etc. the button under the crown does nothing at all. Tried resetting the watch and just ended up losing the watch face I had and can not find it anywhere or one that suits. Really disappointed.

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 “????

Apple have done another update think on 7th November for all the users with battery drainage like I was myself,, I can now confirm my watch is working fantastic again and only have to charge every other day rather than every few hours before this latest upgrade,, thanks for eventually sorting Apple..

To change your watch faces, you now have to do a Long Hold on the face before swiping through your Face Gallery.

This was the first issue I encountered after the upgrade.

My other concern is that the background is lighter, for example messages, and there is not enough contrast between the background and the text to see without my glasses.

Just came here to say thank you! I misplaced my phone and my watch is literally a phone tracker for me and was so mad! Saw this after finally finding phone and now I can use my handy phone finder again! Thank you

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.

What’s irritating to me is I can’t figure out how to have multiple Watch faces that I can swipe between and I can’t figure out how to add complications to a new watch face. Is this no longer a thing? Also not a fan of the new way to access the control center.

OMG! This update is AWFUL!!! I'm wasting my entire morning trying to figure out how to get basic things to work. I hate the way the buttons have changed. There should be an option to go back to the original way, but I can't find it. The weather isn't working at all. Someone fix this mess!!!!!
