Issues with Apple Watch after update to 10.6.1

I am having problems with my Apple Watch SE2 after the recent update to 10.6.1. The watch was measuring steps when it was placed on the table for 3 days when I had a leg injury and was in bed. Today it has walked 3000+ steps especially when I have been sitting for a long time and it measured the steps during that period.

Yesterday, when I put the watch to charge, it started measuring the heart rate! I recorded a voice memo yesterday and was unable to send it to the iphone as the watch was not recognising the phone on bluetooth. Today, I reset the bluetooth and the voice memo got deleted from the watch. This whole update has been ridiculous. Anyone else facing issues? Suggestions to resolve these?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10

So, your options are continuing to try unpairing and force restarting or contacting Apple Support. From what you’re indicating it could certainly be a hardware failure.


The Apple Support articles I linked to below, provide various means of contacting Apple Support.

I have issues too.

It seems like the weather app on the watch is restarting/crashing as it disappears from the app list or options.

This leave me with the weather complication on the watch as "not set". If I try to check them it says not set.

From time to time the app starts and ask for permission to use GPS location, but there is not the "always" option.

This put troubles also to my iphone as the weather app stop working as the widget does not get the location.

There is a constant fight on icloud account between the watch (ultra by the way) and the iphone, battling on setting the permission for the weather app.

I hope this help debugging the issue.

Since updating to 10.6.1, I am having a big issue! First, the digital crown stopped working. Hard reset didn't work. Paired and unpaired didn't work. Then the watch would go black but I still heard alerts. Unpaired/paired again didn't work. Watch kept going black then coming back on. It’s been on the charger for a while but now it’s strictly black and unable to do a hard reset. So even if there is a fix to the update, I’m screwed because my phone basically won’t turn back on.
