My Apple Watch Ultra 2 has been acting sporadic

Did a hard reset then updated phone to 17.4.1 and watch to 10.4.

You’re welcome! Thanks for feeding back. Make sure you update to latest OS. Upvote and Downvote arrows are provided for your consideration

The same issue happened to me this evening Mon Apr 8 2024. Any ideas what to do? Because at the moment I can't event turn it off...

I’ve set all my Apple devices to automatic updates so, that should put this to rest!

Ok, thank you so much for responding.

98% sats is normal. 90% sats is ER time.

2% out of 8% range is too big a tolerance (+~25%) for someone with lung problems.

I have COPD. I have an SE and a proper medical finger oxymeter .

This is on apples web site. The Apple Ultra2 watch is sold as a DIVE WATCH EN13319 certified, An internationally recognized standard for diving accessories. "Apple Watch Ultra 2 puts a bona fide dive computer on your wrist. Made for recreational snorkeling, scuba diving and free diving down to 40 meters!"

So yes it is a dive computer! People with standard dive certificates can only dive to 130' or 40 meters!

It has a built in dive computer with safety stops for recreational diving! I'm an advanced diver But due to health reasons I only dive recreational 130' dives but with safety stops. I have many dive computers and some failed on the first dive! Like this one in the pic. Note in the first pic, the black line going down through my depth info. It should read 82'! By the end of the dive it was dead second pic! I couldn't do my second dive because of that!

My Apple Watch 9 did this before my sleep focus (alarm) turned off to wake me this morning. I was already awake and tried to turn off the alarm on my watch when it started flipping out between apps then the watch was entering in random passwords. Finally I turned it off (pushing crown and side button) to restart it. When it came back on (I put it on the charger), it seems fine. Now I am waiting for the recent update to finish.

I read something about the "always on" feature potentially causing this problem. All I know it I have had 3 other AWs over the years and they never did this craziness. Apple needs to fix this issue.

Same problem with my Ultra 2. Tried to hard reset it and the problem persist. I am now waiting for the battery to drain completely and I hope it will be ok after that. for the moment i have to wait 60 minutes to enter my code but as soon as I can enter the code again it enters a flase code and the delay goes higher :-((

Not so Ultra that's a fact :-(

This has happened to me twice now. Once last year right after buying the ultra 2, and once just now. I was just sitting here and all of a sudden saw a notification on my phone that I could type on my iPhone to dictate on my watch. I looked at my watch and it started freaking out clicking and swiping. I took it off my wrist and it started repeatedly trying passcodes. I got it to stop by putting it on the charger. This definitely seems like a hack. Come on now Apple I really don’t wanna start being paranoid about my data being leaked. My keychain has my passwords for literally everything

Today is March 5 and my 9 did the same thing this morning. I am currently locked out of it for an hour. I too thought I was being hacked. Clearly Apple has an issue that needs to be fixed. I will try and see if the prior fixes will get it to work. Thanks.

I woke up and had the same issue on my Ultra 2. My watch kept trying to type in its own password, timer kept going off, and it called sos on its own. I’m still trying to figure out what’s going with it

Second time this happened to me. ( Ultra 2 )

It again also opened my frontdoor, as the controls are on my watchface, for my (now, not so) convenience. Dog didn't run out in the street this time, fortunately. Might need to remove the 'dangerous' controls from my watchface.

My watch just started doing this yesterday. I noticed there is a software update pending but this does not seem to be working either. I left it on the charger over night, and checked the next morning and it at least let me power it down. I am planning to schedule repair for it, but would like to know if it is worth keeping this device since I have never had this problem with any of the other series ever.
