My Apple Watch 9 is acting weird - Is this a bug?

my Ultra II just went nuts. 4/6/24. So it was not fixed with the last update. I’m doing a hard reboot to see if it helps.

If 10.4 did not fix it then your watch may be faulty. Go through this…

My watch is up to date and it is still doing it.

If it is doing it on 10.4 then go right through these steps, the last being getting the watch fixed.

If your watch is on OS10.3 update to 10.4

If your watch is already on OS10.4 then contact Apple support.

...After an hour I did a hard reset and everything seems to be fine now. Hopefully Apple will see these messages, very unnerving.

1. Apple do not come here to read anything
2. They already know and put a fix in OS10.4

After two calls with support I *think* it's fixed. After the same problem I did these things:

1. I did a reboot by holding down the crown and side button. This stopped all symptoms.
2. I installed the 10.4 update. The SOS calls to my ICE restarted after the update.
3. I un-paired the watch to my iPhone and then paired it again. That happened about 2 hours ago. So far it seems to be good. My router sees the reset watch as a different device than it was before the re-pairing.

I haven’t done the most recent update yet, and it happened to me last night (February 4) on my iPhone also!

It's interesting that this has happened to us all at about the same time.

I faced the same problem this morning on 8/2/24, but the problem is solved once I put it kn charger and you may try that.

Same thing just happened to me today. Had to do the hard reboot and repair a few deleted appointments. Yes, it deleted things in my calendar while it was going crazy pressing things.

I am running IOS 17.4 now, however I did not do the step of un-paring and re-pairing the watch to my phone. I have done that step now and we'll and see if that resolves it

Mine also just done this March 29,2024 went crazy then called 911 and I couldn’t stop it then I finally got it to unpair from my phone.

Same thing happened to my Series 9 Apple Watch and I still can't fix it any idea haw to fix this?

Same issue here with my series 9 running WatchOS 10.3.1. iPhone will be updated to 17.4.1 tonight. The watch hard reset appears to have stopped the strange behavior which started out of the blue.

This just happened to me exactly as everyone described. I thought I was being hacked. I immediately turned it off and restarted it. Hopefully this will resolve the issue.

My watch went crazy jumping around how do I fix it
