Hi all.

I'm a very happy owner of a SS Apple watch since day 1 from UK but after spending 48 hours with it I've noticed that it auto restarted by itself 3-4 times. Which is annoying because it was when I needed it to work (to reply to a message, check a notification, launch an app etc). I understand that's it's a version 1.0 product and it will only get better but I would expect apple to test this thing properly? My main concern is that perhaps the watch's processor is underpowered and any "heavy" task or usage could lead to such behaviour.

Anyone else noticed this?
 
9 times out of 10, it's always software related. Also, 3rd party apps are the biggest contribution to random device behavior. Not saying this is the case in your scenario, however it shouldn't be overlooked. Try doing a restore to factory settings and repair the watch again. See what that does.
 
I've restored it. It takes a while as you need to install all apps, go through the beautiful initial pairing procedure etc. let's see if I'll see an improvement
 
Nah. It's still crashing. It crashed twice the last 4 hours since I've restored it. I will probably wait for an update before I go to the Apple Store to check it
