Recently, information began to appear about the incompatibility of some users who own an Apple Watch series 3 with the new operating system update. watchOS 7 was causing GPS system problems of the watch not allowing to record well the sports routines of its owners. Now, other users are manifesting more compatibility problems between the watch model and the operating system.
watchOS 7 was released to the general public last week. Although it is always possible that some problems arise, such as the GPS, which is not very normal, is that they focus on a model. Apple Watch Series 3 users are reporting a variety of issues since installing watchOS 7, including random reboots, poor performance, and a few more.
The new operating system is valid right from that Apple Watch model. So it is more than likely that it is caught with tweezers and not as loose as the engineers expected. On the Apple support forums, there is a dedicated thread to Apple Watch Series 3 owners with watchOS 7. One of the most common complaints the clock seems to be randomly resetting several times a day. Several Apple Watch Series 3 users refer to watchOS 7 as "the worst" watchOS update Apple has released yet.
I've had multiple reboots a day since the update, it asks for my passcode and displays blank statistics on activity. There was never a problem like this before in WatchOS 6 or earlier.
The worst thing about this update is that there is no way to go back to a previous version of the operating system. Although a new update, watchOS 7.0.1, has been released, it appears that the underlying issue has not been resolved. In addition, Apple still sells the series 3 in stores, but considering these problems it may not have been too good an idea to have made the series 4 disappear. Perhaps they should have left this model and dispensed with the series 3, because from what See, it is not too compatible with watchOS 7.
Bored already of the continuous restarts. Aside from how slow the first-generation Apple Watch looks like
First of all, I congratulate you that you echo this problem since few sites dedicated to Apple are doing it and it is a very serious problem, since it leaves practically useless watches that are being bought at this time, while Apple maintains a total silence about the problem and that does not leave you in a good place.
Just for brand prestige, I think that it should, first of all, immediately stop the sale of the 3 series and from there, make a statement committing to solve it as soon as possible.
I have a series 3 and the same thing happens to me. It restarts when it wants to. I have restarted the clock and unlinked from the iphone as they told me in the technical support and nothing, It remains the same. I think they will have to get an update for this
