Side button friends causes reboot. Replacement unit doing same thing.

From day 1, when using side button to select friends, when you tap on friend causesreboot (Apple logo). went to Apple Store and genius could not identify problem. Replacement unit was sent out, which is doing same thing. Have tried complete reset, took out all friends and added back but still have same issue. Note replacement watch not as glitchy as the first, tapic better, siri more responsive as well as other features.

yeah, MacistheMac is right. The issue was never your watch. too bad they wasted a replacement unit on you with such short supply. It's got to be a software corruption on your phone. Try removing and re-adding the contacts there, but if that doesn't work go for a Settings > General > Reset >Reset all Settings. It won't erase your content but will forget some preferences and pairings with networks or your watch. If that doesn't work make an iCloud backup and choose Settings > General > Reset >Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase the content and preferences and when it reboots you can restore from iCloud backup and repair your watch.
