Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Trying to install WatchOS 5.1. Just update my iPhone X to 12.1. Then went to update my SS Apple Watch 4 to watchOS 5.1. Put Watch on charger started download and install. It downloaded and started the install. Progress ring on watch started. It then went away. Now I just have the Apple Logo for the past 20 Minutes. No Progress ring.
Watch Series 4 (GPS+Cellular) (SS) 44mm, watchOS 5.1
Update:
Just picked up my Apple Watch from the Apple store (was ready yesterday). I check the serial number it and it's the same one. They said nothing was wrong with it but updated the software.
Waiting for it to restore. May have to call Verizon to get Cellular to work again since it failed during setup. This is going to be fun.
Finally got loaded. Software version is 5.0.1. Fudge, looks like I will have to call Verizon tomorrow to get cellular working again (business account).
Don't know how they fixed it, but my guess is they connected to the diagnostic port
Nothing official - reps know about it and the update was pulled, so ...
Mine bricked after trying to install the latest update too. Took it to Apple on Wednesday. They said they had to send it out and I haven't heard a thing about it since (been 4 days so far).
