Apple Releases watchOS 10.0.1 With Bug Fixes

[MacRumors]

Apple today released watchOS 10.0.1, a minor update to the watchOS 10 operating system that initially came out on Monday.

According to Apple's release notes for the update, watchOS 10.0.1 includes bug fixes and important security updates for the Apple Watch.

watchOS 10‌.0.1 can be downloaded for free through the Apple Watch app on an iPhone running iOS 17 by opening it up and going to General > Software Update. To install the new software, the Apple Watch needs to have at least 50 percent battery and it needs to be placed on a charger.

Apple has also released watchOS 9.6.3 for those who are unable to update to watchOS 10.0.1 or who have not yet had a chance to install the watchOS 10 update.

Just in time for the new watches to arrive tomorrow…
There have been complaints about battery life, and, hopefully, they removed the “are you sure?” When ending a workout, that is the dumbest “feature” ever

 

[TracerAnalog]

I’m not seeing it. Only for S9?

 

[Beelzbub]

Maybe this will fix the issue with my watch face no longer being able to pull in the temp and sunrise sunset times like it used too.

 

[jclardy]

Maybe it'll fix the "bug" of the full brightness stopwatch background...

 

[jonnysods]

A welcome patch, I hope it resolves the battery suck on my S6.

 

[PBP]

Hopefully this fixes the massive batterydrain on my series4

 

[raythompsontn]

The update will not appear if the watch is set to receive beta updates.

 

[contacos]

Does it fix a bug of my Watch Series 6 conveniently staying at 80% battery health for more than half a year so I cannot cancel AppleCare+? Would be great!

The update will not appear if the watch is set to receive beta updates.

I also restarted iPhone after turning beta updates off (in Watch APP) - not sure if that is necessary but it did show up immediately after that.

Battery life has been atrocious on my S7 since watchOS 10

 

[Queues]

I’m not seeing it. Only for S9?

no, I got it on my S6

 

[headlessmike]

My S6 has been rock solid so far with 10.0, getting about 40 hours of battery life with a couple of GPS workouts every day. Hope it stays this way.

 

[Rychiar]

This better fix the series 5 battery drain. I’d try it out except my watch is almost dead already today

 

[MrCubes]

Does this fix the bug of me not having an Ultra 2?

 

[Wasp14]

Hoping this fixes the battery drain on mine as well. Prior to the update I was finishing the day with between 60-70% and now with the same usage it’s 40-50. Assuming some kind of process is more taxing but it’s a fairly big difference.

I’m the one person happy about this feature because I’m an idiot who keeps pressing “end” instead of “pause” and can’t undo it.

But even I agree the better way to do it would be to add a “resume workout” button on the post workout screen…

I don't think so. I checked for the update, not there, turned off beta updates, the update showed up immediately. No restart.

YEP!!!!

I've done three workouts since updating to WatchOS10 and three times being annoyed ending my workout 😂

It took me a bit to figure out they changed where to add a workout too.

 

[DavidLeblond]

I'm assuming this is just the same security patch as all the other OS updates today and that any hopes I have at not having my watch die in the middle of my workout if I decide to work out after I get off of work are dashed until I get my new watch.

 

[3xBoom]

Let's see if it can help my S2... Oh, wait...

I forget to end a workout more often than I accidently end one (though i did end a 25km at 2km once, had to re-stitch it together afterwards via the gpx!).

They should make it configurable, then we can choose

 

[Dylan33x]

Has anyone found a way to update a watch on Os9 paired to a phone on iOS17 to the new 9.6.4 update instead of 10.0.1 ?

Being a regular runner in a rainy climate, this feature is a serious improvement. I have my workouts end prematurely so often if running with any amount of rain and a long sleeve shirt that I had to turn on water lock to keep it from happening. I hope the extra prompt helps with this issue, though I expect I might still get some random, inadvertent interactions

Not sure if it was this 10.0.1 update or Ventura 13.6, but between the two of them, my S6 unlocks my 2017 MBP again...
