That's what happened to me too...it would take about a half a day for the reboots to start again after trying a fix. Just like it took about half a day for them to stop when I disabled notifications. There was always a delay.
I was having the same issue with my series 3 watch. I tracked it down using the Apple Watch logs to the Tile app, which I removed then restarted. So far, so good! The logs can be found on your iPhone -> Settings -> Privacy -> Analytics -> Analytics Data -> and look for "WatchApp Extension." You might then discover which app is misbehaving and causing the rebooting.
Hi
After last update for my iphone 7 plus 11.2.5 and my apple watch 4.2.2 I repair the watch and pairing it as new watch and without the watch backup one day I don’t get rebooting and today I will see if it really fix after the last update or I will get the rebooting as before
Get try
Than
My watch just today started an endless reboot cycle for no reason.
I noticed that the Watch was not notifying me of any texts today and it seemed really slow and weird yesterday.
It will not allow me to access anything on the watch the reboot time is so fast. I removed it from the iPhone and rebooted the iPhone and nope - no way - nothin'. The reboot of the Watch takes a LONG time (but that is normal I think) and the watch is actually warm, which it never is - and once it comes on - you cannot even navigate to the settings to reset it - it's rebooting again.
I have filled out a warranty request, (still under the year) but I will say this.
It SEEMS that all was fine until I loaded the most recent version Watch OS two nights ago.
And... it was not very long ago that Apple put out an update for the iPhone because my iPhone ( and more) was doing the exact same thing!
iPhone and Watch both running fastest builds as of this post. I believe this is buggy software or some combination of my iPhone 7 128GB (also still under warranty) and this Watch V2 and software.
Not happy....
Exactly. I can see it being a temporary fix until a fix comes out for it though. Having no notifications beats having to install apps that I use frequently. I could probably enable all notification except Instagram, but until I know for sure I am keeping them all off.
The weird thing is is that after I turned off all notifications, I had another boot or two, and I was thinking the fix wasn't working...but a few others had this two and it didn't reboot again after.
I just don't see how Apple is missing this. They are getting tons of complaints.
after 2 week with Apple support and give them same file from my Apple Watch 2 with last update 4.2 They change it for me to new watch and I never update it to 4.2 and I don’t get rebooting issue my watch is in 4.0 and I will see if next update will fix the problem with you then maybe I will update it but really it’s very bad experience with this update 4.2 and I never use my watch because of rebooting issue
When my Watch first started doing it I let it drain all the way dead. Then charged it a full day before factory resetting it.
See my previous post about how I stopped/fixed my loop. I am now at 4.2.3. All is good. But. IMO. I think it had to do with 3rd party apps installed on the phone. Nothing now but native apps.
Wondering what became of your issue. I'm having the same problem on a series 3 watch (GPS) and I'm about to take it into apple. I've tried resetting/resyncing now a bunch of times and that fixes the problem maybe two days or so. Then Voila back again.
I have been dealing with nearly all of the issues listed here by all of the various users. There is some software conflict. Wish I would have stayed on WatchOS 3, never had any issues. Trying another reset as the latest WatchOS updated has made it completely unusable.
I had the updates done on release day but hadn't tried enabling Instagram (the troublesome app for me and it is always up to date) until I seen your post. It was fine for a few days but the reboots started again this morning. It always takes 3-4 days for the reboots to start kicking in again. Very strange. So the updates hadn't been a fix for me, unfortunately.
My watch has been doing the exact same thing. I have sent it in to apple 4 times, and 4 times they have sent it back saying can’t replicate the issue. My watch constantly does this, which means I am now beat for a $800 paper weight.
I HAVE same issue I have Apple Watch series 1 and I got this problem after last update 4.2 I change my watch and by new one Apple Watch series 2 and the watch ask for update and I got same problem I hate both watches and I think apple is not same before and care about the service and the customer
I really go to apple support 2 time and I don't get any solution only pay money to change or wait next update
Same here, Apple Watch 2, latest update and having same issue. I can’t be 100% certain it started as soon as I upgraded, but definitely soon after. My wife watch 1 with same soft is fine.
Did all that was recommended in posts, no luck. Having Genius Bar reservation for Friday
If this is in fact true, they need to do a fix ASAP. Currently I’m awaiting a replacement watch for this problem. The thing is I know so many people
With Apple watches who receive all their notifications and have no issues at all. Without watch notifications the Apple Watch has nearly zero appeal to me.
Still have notifications. I will disable and see if that makes a difference. Hopefully new soft is out soon as main reason for that gadget is to get notifications for me 🙂, w/o those its bit useless.
Apple Watch keeps rebooting
