Apple watch series 1 keeps restarting after 4.2 update

Good afternoon Skova,

I just wanted to share my follow up after receiving the watch back from apple. They requested that I call them once I had the watch in my possession to be connected with a senior adviser. I have not contacted them as of yet. I did, however, take your advice and followed the steps you posted on the other page. So far the watch has been stable with no resets for two days now and counting. If that changes I will share here on the forum. Thank you

Hello 7NINE3,

Thank you for sharing and glad to hear you are having the same success I have had. It has been since the 31st and I have not had one reboot (that I am aware of) and the battery lasts 24+ before I have to charge. I have also re-enabled the notifications for all except my Outlook email for work and Instagram is not reinstalled on my iPhone yet. I will do each of those next and see if it changes and let everyone here know.

Best regards,

Stephen

I did! Every single step (and btw, when you say to restore watch before pairing, the button to click to reset it is the Digital Crown, not the Side button, tbh 😀)

I'll update you with the outcomes, anyway thank you so very much for the detailed troubleshooting!

Cool, I will be interested to see the outcome, glad to share. I could not remember the reset step, was not writing it down when I did it. I just remember doing it. Mine has been two weeks tomorrow with no issues.

I can confirm it's been two days with no rebooting! Thank you so much

He's only noticed that battery life is shorter since he got device from service (December, his watch spent the last month rebooting every 2-5 min, so I guess it's a little expected...) and another thing he's noticed is that there's no animation when closing the circles, but just a static image... any guess why?

Thanks again for your help! 😀

Good afternoon everyone,

I woke up this morning to Watch OS 4.2.3 waiting to be installed. It states this is an update to fix a character issue that is causing the watch to crash. I have updated my watch with the latest software. I have now turned back on all of the notifications that I use. Fingers crossed let's see what happens. Has anyone else updated to OS 4.2.3? I would like to know how everyone else is making out with this new update for our buddies at Apple.

Good morning everyone,

Well, I am sad to report that watch OS 4.2.3 has NOT fixed the issue. I had to return back to my configuration of shutting down all notifications in order to allow the watch to be usable and not kill the battery. How some of you had better results. as of right now Apple watch and watch OS is pretty much not playing nice with each other. I am very disappointed with Apple in regards to this matter. As I type this the watch has rest 4 times within the last 10 minutes. SMH!!!😠

Please find us a solution my watch is becoming useless

My series 2 has done this also. I have unpaired repaired set up as a new Watch even did a factory reset of the Watch and same issue persists

Count me into the Apple Watch 2 keeps restarting since the 4.2 update and it’s really screwing up my goals!!!!

Can we get a repair update please???????

Same symptoms for me here after updating to watchOS 4.2. Definitely a software issue.

Replacing unit doesn't solve issue. my friend replaced it three times and still has this issue.

Hello Scarrone, Share the steps that I followed with your friend and ask them to try it. I have not had an issue in almost two weeks and I was about to send mine in. It has been perfect.

Sad to know. This has become never ending.
