Do Apple developers know about these 10 bugs for apple watch series 3?

1. If you turn off WiFi and cellular on the watch, and turn off WiFi and Bluetooth on your phone, they magically remain connected and you can still ping your phone from your watch. How is this even possible?


2. Notifications are set up properly in the AW app, yet do not appear with any discernible logic. In addition, after setting the watch on do not disturb for several hours (while I slept) , after taking it out of that state, 0 notifications appeared. When I went to check my phone, I had at least 10 from mail and messages. (I have app watch settings set to custom: show alerts.)


3. The watch sends heartbeat data while it’s sitting on a table across the room. It registered 6 elevated heart rate notifications in a 2 hour span when no one was wearing it. It also sent resting heart rate data as well. Apparently my end table has a resting heart rate of 50.


4. The WiFi is janky. My iPhone 8 was connected to the 5ghz connection when I first paired my phone. It wasn’t showing up on my wireless gateways connected devices. So, I connected my phone to the 2.4 network and it showed up. I reconnected my phone to 5, and disabled auto connect but I still kept the network “remembered”. When I turn WiFi off on my phone, I expect the watch should show the WiFi connection. It doesn’t. It still just shows I’m connected to my phone. (See issue 1 about this magical sticky connection using technology unknown (to me, at least.)


5. Uber: I clicked the app on the watch, it instructed me to click the app on my phone. I did, and it worked. However, if I close the app on my phone and try to restart the app on my watch, I get the same set up instructions. I got the watch with cellular so I wouldn’t always need my phone.


6. Lyft: Works worse than uber. It either just presents the logo for 10 minutes and hangs, or, the app loads and says it’s unavailable in my area. On my phone it works fine.


7. Facebook messenger hangs with the spinning wheel. Sometimes if I open it with my phone at the same time, my most recent 5-6conversations will show up. Makes the app sorta pointless.




8. The watch randomly locks. Even if I’m wearing it

and my phone is unlocked.


9. There were more, but I need to wrap this up for now.
