my device hung on the update to 5.1 on the apple logo, i left it there for more then 15 mins before i tried restarting the device which didnt help i have also tried to erase content and settings which said could not connect to watch any help would be amazing
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5.1
BE PATIENT. Interrupting the update with a forced reboot is a bad idea. The restart sequence after loading the new software is definitely slower than I have seen before, so just wait. Be prepared to leave it overnight while you sleep before you give up, you may get a surprise in the morning.
yeah they sent it off for a new one as they couldnt fix it in the store
The same thing here. It was updating to 5.1, there was a progress bar and when it restarted, it just got stuck displaying Apple logo. Left it on the charger for 30 minutes, nothing happened, tried hard restarting it, it just goes back to Apple logo.
Been using and enjoying the latest Apple Watch for the last few weeks (44mm, with celular). Started update via iPhone app, on a phone which had already been updated.
Checked watch update progress about 90 minutes later and Apple logo was visible, but no update ring was displayed. Waited longer to see if the watch would complete its update, but no luck. Watch was unresponsive to screen or single button presses, so I tried a hard reset. Watch resets, but is stuck displaying apple logo.
Will likely visit an Apple store tomorrow.
