Apple Watch 11.2 with iOS 18.2 Mirroring no longer works when lowering wrist

Mine did the exact same thing. I powered down my watch, waited a minute, then powered back on. From there it worked again.

Perfectly described/illustrated JiggyMac. I'll add that Apple Watch mirroring worked perfectly with iOS 18.2 (and 18.1) + WatchOS 11.1. It was not until my Apple Watch updated to 11.2 that the issue arose.

Any word from Apple on this? It's quite frustrating, as I want to monitor my heart rate while on the Elliptical, but it's not easy to see it on the Watch while working out. I was using this before WatchOS 11.2 and it was really a nice thing to have. I really hope that this will be fixed soon. Maybe a WatchOS 11.2.1.

I have the exact same issue. Had not done a rowing workout in a few weeks. Then went to go rowing and the only time the watch is mirrored is when my watch is at a specific angle. My symptoms are the same as everyone else’s. I tried restarting my phone and watch to no avail. This sucks because I liked being able to see my heart rate when working out. I also wish they would change the airplay mirroring to stop timing out every 5 minutes. This should be a time adjustable feature. Ugh

Oh nice. I did that for both my phone and watch yesterday with no luck. But you've given me hope so I'll give it another try.

Restarted again. It works at first but then goes dim in a matter of seconds until I raise my wrist up again. Same as before.

That's odd. I didn't change any settings on mine before or after the restart, and it worked.
