edit: Looks like this was tagged to my old watch. Please make it more clear when given the choice to select watch devices. It only showed “Xxx’s Apple Watch” twice as an option to pick when making this post.
I have an Ultra 4 on watchOS 27. I’ve been experiencing a ton of crashes and weird bugs. My watch has been between full charge and 70% for each of the below. I also have cellular active. What can I do to fix the below issues?
- On Day 1 of use, when using voice dictate for texting the watch simply froze, crashed, and rebooted.
- Elevation was completely off. I live in a high rise apartment. The elevation in my apartment said ~34ft. Then when I go to ground floor it says ~-515ft. I walked for 20 minutes at ground level tracking a workout in an attempt to recalibrate. It seemed to work better after but was still off by about 70ft. When I went back to my apartment it said ~1,110 ft.
- When using the subway widget to find nearby stations, the app just never loads anything after selecting a station. Screen shows the map and get stuck showing “Loading”.
- After night 2, Vitals showed my sleep history from the night before. When checking, it worked for a second then crashed. After reboot, the sleep data from night 2 was completely erased.
- Hand gestures aren’t as responsive as expected sometimes. When navigating the smart dock on the new Siri Modular face, it’s hit or miss on picking up the gesture. Also, if I try to cycle through the menu too fast with the gestures, it sometimes crashes and reboots.
- My action button is set to start a workout. While on a walk outside and with turn-by-turn walking directions on, I activated a workout. It defaulted to a treadmill walk instead of an outdoor walk. Seems like the watch should be smart enough to differentiate based on the context of currently active apps
