Has anyone noticed a problem with Activity on Apple Watch since the clocks went back in the uk?
"Stand" has been an hour ahead all day and since 11pm the app crashed every time I tried to open it.
Restarting the watch hasn't fixed the problem.
Anyone know how to sort it?

Apple Watch, iOS 9.1
Hi
Try restarting both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off first, then restart your iPhone before restarting your watch:
- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off.
- To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
Restart both, phone and watch. It will bring back data in Activity on the phone. It requires a while to sync after restarting (for current day mainly). However it is very big bug in software.
BTW: Using iPhone with Watch is the same (or worse) experience like using Windows 98: you have to restart Watch every two days, and iPhone - at least - once a week.
Unfortunately restarting phone and watch did not solve my problem. If I try to access activity date for Nov. 1 on my iPhone, the app crashes. Our time change was early morning of Nov. 1. Data for Oct. 31 and earlier dates is accessible. Any other suggestions?
There's no way to fix this right now other than restoring your iPhone to clear the activity data which of course, defeats the object as there'll be no data to access. It's a bug that causes data corruption with DST changes, surprising it made it into Watch OS 2.0.1 being it's so obvious, but it has been filed with the Watch OS team and hopefully the fix will be implemented in Watch OS 2.0.2 or later, or iOS 9.2 depending on where the bug lies.
Same thing happening to me. November 1st crashes the activity app. Worse though, it seems to have corrupted the data for that day. I previously had a streak of achieving my move goal going back to the first day the watch was available, but now the move ring on 11/1 no longer closes. This is particularly infuriating because I rant the New York City Marathon that day. I met my goal 5 times over. So now because of yet another daylight saving time error, not only is my perfect streak broken, but my activity data from the marathon is also inaccessible.
tthe activity app runs normal after midnight but if you try to view the 26th October activity on the activity app for iPhone it will crash to the home screen.
Noticed this too but couldn't fathom what the cause was. Must be the due to the clocks going back though as you suggest. Wonder if this has affected everyone or just a select few?
This did work, thank you.
The Apple Watch bit seemed to fix itself after midnight and all returned to normal with the activity app on iPhone after restart.
@Cheevas Are you able to access yesterday's activity data from your iPhone without crash?
Restarting both as Jonathan suggested worked for me. I hope it fixes your problem too.

You're most welcome! Thank you for confirming 🙂
Looks like no. App crashes when I click on activity for the 25th.
It's crashing here too (in France) when you want to see your activity from sunday 25th. Crashing on 2 iPhone but not on 2 others. Restarting as advised does nothing.
Thank you. Let's hope the bug is fixed soon.
