I had a new one today. It wouldn't respond to any button presses after charging all night. Multitouch worked, but not the buttons. Holding both down did force the reboot, so it was probably software and not hardware related.
Got a tip for us?

How often does your OS3 AW crash?

A variation of this happened to me two days ago. I pushed buttons like crazy and got no response. Then, after a couple minutes, the watch went wild as if it had cached all of the pushes and responded in bulk. It has been normal since.
Obviously iPhone and iPad teams are the priority at Apple, just wondering if Watch development is prioritized before Mac...
Mine has not crashed since upgrading to OS3. I think it rebooted on me once or twice with the beta versions, but that is it. Battery remains great even after 17 months, I still finish the day with 30-50% depending on a workout or not. This also includes my dock having 8 apps and most of the time with the modular face.
on the S0 or OG AW or apple watch or the first apple watch ever made....whatever you want to call it.... I got very frequent crashes while running the os3 beta and very rarely (but still occurring) on the non beta os1 and 2. Since getting the S2 I haven't had one crash/glitch/problem/reboot since the original problem I had trying to restore from a back up that had the beta on it causing me to set up as new.
I've had the same problem, at least four unrequested reboots since I got my Series 2 a fortnight ago.
Doesn't seem to be a pattern to them either - has happened while starting a Breathe session, swiping between watch faces and just when navigating menus.
So basically using the watch may cause it to crash and reboot.
Somewhat amusingly, the Breathe app crash happened just after I pressed the start button, so I sat there in a relaxed state waiting for the watch to tap my wrist for a rather long time...

Same here. No clue as to why, so left all 3rd party apps on AW. Was going to do "experiment" as to which apps caused the crashing.
I've had it happen four of five times now. Every single time, it was while using the stock workout app. When I swipe right to end session, as soon as I push the end button, it would reboot. Does not happen everytime, but more times than it should. It does not loose the data from the activity, which has been nice.
On my Nike+, 3 random crashes now in 3 weeks.
First was running with Nike Run Club and bluetooth headphones about 1 week ago. (it's not my idea of fun standing on the side of the road, mid-run, waiting 2 minutes for the watch to reboot and continue the run!)
Second and third BOTH yesterday, once while dismissing a message, the other simply taking the watch off.
Very bizarre.

Well, isn't that the same thing more or less?
(my series 0 is still on OS2 and has never died/crash during use, but has been totally black and required a forced restart 5 or 6 times since I got it 13 months ago...)
Much better with 3.1 than 3.0. Now it really doesn't crash at all, but does need an occasional reboot (less than once a week) to clear up the occasional quirk. Before 3.1, crashing was an almost daily experience.
