Problems with Apple Watch after updating to watchOS 10.0.1

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.

The latest update to the Apple Watch made the Watch less useful to me. Before the update, I could scroll up and turn off The screen or the sound. Before the update, I could scroll up and put my phone on low energy mode. Now I cannot figure out how to do any of that because now when I scroll up, I get useless information.

I'm having a similar problem with the heart rate monitor. I have an irregular heartbeat and I've always been able to monitor for extreme changes. Now it only shows a 'walking rate' every so often. With my current limitations, a walking rate doesn't help

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.

I have series 7 and recently my life updated and now it's a brick. I'm so upset and they want me to get it fix for 400 dollars repair cost . Wth....

No way . I only had it for 2 years .

what a waste!!!!

I have a BIG problem with the fact that the content in many of the Health functions is so SMALL even though I have the large fonts enabled. I typically use my watch during the night and I cannot even read some of them without my glasses. The Sleep app has become useless to my husband as well for the same reason.

Finally read comments below and find that pushing the "long" butter under the side button gets to the Focus/Silent screen. But cannot get rid of the weather, newsbreak, health, notifications, messages, emails. I've gone into my phone to stop notifications but it's not working for me. I've turned off "mirror phone", but still get all the notifications on my phone...When I swipe up I get the "Tips on how to set up apps". How do I remove that?? Sure miss the other set up that worked well.

Completely agree with this. Having 5 screens to get all activity/ring data, step count, distance, etc. is useless. Having a single screen to view it all as a snapshot was so much better. I also think the new screens for each ring are causing excessive battery drain. I've submitted feedback to Apple, but who knows if they will ever realize what a mistake they made with this update.

Or, they may feel that they have not made a mistake and that, though some people may dislike certain changes, they are going to keep them.

That misunderstands and misstates the issue I am raising. My issue is the activity app specifically and how it now requires you to scroll through five pages to get a full snapshot instead of just one and the way those pages display chew up the battery.

My apologies for not picking up on the antecedent in a different post.

Regardless, a couple of seconds of flipping through screens is not going to have a significant effect on your battery.

This update has been negative totally. I had to reset my watch face many times as it kept losing what I had in the middle.

not being able to swap up to get to water lock, battery level, find iPhone is not good

i still cannot figure out where those functions are

also, my watch died after 4 hours of use today

i hope they revert to the previous version

That question has been answered repeatedly in this thread and in others. Tap the side button, the flat oval button next to the Digital Crown and the Control Center will magically appear.

i hope they revert to the previous version

I hope to win the lottery even though I never buy tickets. I think there's a better chance of that happening.
