Apple Releases watchOS 7.3.3 With Security Updates

Apple_Robert said:
The phone said my watch had updated to 7.3.3 but, all I see is the white Apple logo.

The white Apple logo is the new, always on, calming app. Feeling angry? Just look at that white Apple logo and you'll be calmer in no time... ;)

All joking aside, I am glad to hear you got your watch working again. Sucks to have to use the Find My functionality and send a sound to "wake it up."

I did feel at peace with the Apple universe yesterday. :D

Mine has been "Verifying" since yesterday afternoon. It didn't update the watch during its evening charge up, as it said it would update overnight. I wear my watch overnight so it didn't update then. But at least my watch is totally functional as it hadn't started the process of transferring the update over from my iPhone.

Okay, I know this has been discussed ad naseum, but the fact I have to completely reset my Apple Watch just to update it is a bit sad. Come on, Apple.

Never have seen any indication that the watch has its settings reset even though the OS may be replaced. For me I always do the update at night when I am sleeping.

Yep. Verifrustrating...

And Apple provides no way to cancel an update that is verifying. So we are stuck unless we unpair?

My watch appears to be stuck on the white Apple logo.

My AW6 seemed to be a little freaked out at the end; I never saw any "progress bar" at all, and the logo didn't come up unless I hit a button or the crown. My phone was confirming the update completed before the watch ever showed any signs of life. But it finally righted itself and got on with it. Total time was still <10 minutes. Seems like the install "closeout" on this one varies widely across users.

Okay, so turn off watch. Quit all apps and restart phone. After complete reboot, turn on watch. Reinitiate update.
After that I still saw verifying, but it updated correctly after putting watch on charger.

From what I understand, something on the phone or watch caused the install to hang, and the only way to clear the hang 100% is force everything to restart including all apps, all connections, etc.
 
When I updated to 7.3.2, my new watch started draining very quickly. Some days it was normal, others I would have to charge midday. Now that I installed 7.3.3, I had to charge twice before 1pm because I got the low battery message shortly after it having a full charge. The watch is also overheating.

This is frustrating as I’ve only had the watch a few months. Nothing has changed other than taking the updates.

**** Edited to add ****
Ok, this is getting ridiculous at this point. It’s now died 3 times in one day. I shut it off completely and now it’s been at 100% for a few hours. It’s worse than the 7.3.2 update. I’ve had to buy extra chargers to keep everywhere.
