Yes me. It drives me nuts and I can't turn it off. Help.

I think I have it sorted now. For me, at least, it appears there was some kind of disconnect with my id, and the phone/watch was trying to update watch apps in the background. I signed out of my id/account and signed back in. That seems to have fixed it for me.

hope this helps.

I am using 3 Apple IDs on my iPhone (since I moved a lot over the years). It is always asking for the 2 "non local" IDs to authenticate. This does not work, I am not getting the two-factor codes anywhere...

So did you sign off your id on the phone or on the watch?
 
No Sensor readings in Home App. If a room has more than one Sensor Home App Says, "Two Sensors" but when you press on it, it just bounces around. I reported this early Beta but nothing has been done about it. It Should popup a Separate Screen with the readings like the iphone app
 
Not sure what changed since last night but notifications seem to working good now. Not getting duplicates (phone and watch when phone screen is off) and got my HomeKit notifications back...

Same for me as well. They should’ve left it the way it was with the sensors separated then you can add whatever you need to the favorites
 
I’m not getting a ping, but watch keeps going back to lock screen and have to enter pass code constantly. Not a loose fitting watch, signed out and in, and restarted everything.
 
No notifications from 3rd party apps; only getting them from Apple apps, not from WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, etc. It worked fine on OS5. Hope there's an update soon to sort out this mess.
 
Reminders for one. Reminders I had completely disappeared, then some reappeared and now whenever I set a reminder, who knows if it sticks? I set a reminder earlier for something at work that was pretty important and it never went off. Checked reminders and it’s not even there now. Also, whenever I set a reminder on the watch it just goes to some random reminders list I barely ever use instead of the main reminders list. Weird

I also noticed on my drive to work I got a message on my watch saying I was out of storage space. And I keep getting that message even though before the update, I was probably only using 3gb total on my series 4!

so there’s a couple things that might need to be worked out lol anybody else have weird issues like this? I know there’s an iOS13.1 scheduled for next week. Is there one for watch os?

One thing to check in regards to your issue with reminders going to a random list...Because this was happening to me in a way. I would ask Siri to set a reminder, to do something at a certain time. I then noticed that reminder, wasn't in the reminders list...But, it was in my Grocery list! One thing to check is go into settings, for reminders and pick a "default" list. For me, somehow it was set to Grocery. I set it to Reminders and now, they appear there...

Actually, never mind...Just realized no matter what reminder I make through the watch, via Siri, they are all getting dumped into my grocery list...lol

I have a new one: battery draining like crazy! I went to work with 90% battery on my series 4 and right now during my shift it’s down to 5%. Might have something to do with “storage is full” thing idk. Lotta weirdness going on right now
My 4 seemed fine with XS Max but last night after getting it all setup on 11 Pro Max, battery went from about 80% to 10% in an hour. Great start.

I had something weird happen earlier. I got a message on my watch, but it never showed up on my phone. This wasn’t just the notification but the actual message itself. I unpaired and repaired my watch, now only messages that I’ve sent since repairing are there. *sigh*
 
I’m not getting any texts at all on my watch. When I look it shows texts from before the update. And my active hours won’t change when I’m actively attempting to make them move
 
I couldn’t screenshot on mine until I reset it and even now it doesn’t work half the time. I also have a problem with voice dictation in messaging not recognizing anything that I say. Even in a quiet room, so I have a ticket open with Apple. Never had an issue before the update.

On the phone. I have 2 Apple IDs and the older one (non-email ID) was the one where I've made most of my purchases and the one being complained about. I signed off on my iPhone X and signed back in. Have not had an issue since.

Apologies for late reply.
 
Yes i’m having this issue where certain stock apps (audiobooks, breathe, wallet, home, calculator) won’t load and are just stuck in ”trying to download“.
I’ve already unpaired and re-paired, set up as new, replaced iPhones, etc... and the issue persists. This is insane and is making my watch experience a bad one.

This has been annoying me all day long.
Me too! It’s driving me nuts.

I'm having the same problem. Getting very frustrated.
 
Complications (e.g. UV) still missing on the iPhone app. You see empty entries in the list. On the watch they do exist and you can set them. Reboot of the watch first, then phone.. or other way around doesn't help.

The person who thought putting an app store on a device with a tiny display should be fired immediately at Apple. Come on.. search by scribble ? At least had kept it on the iPhone.

I can't find where exactly to log out those Apple IDs, unfortunately. Can you please describe how you did this? Thanks!
 
Dunno if it has been mentioned yet, but California watchface Solar complication doesn’t seem to update regularly - sometimes you’ll need to swipe to the next watchface and back to California watchface for it to update.

See uploaded screenshots for before and after. Note that they were taken in the morning.

As an update to my original post about the watch complications: they showed back up and are working fine. The two things going on w/ my AW4 is that when I get done with a workout and take the watch off, the green sensor stays on until I shut the watch down. As mentioned above, when I turn it back on, it takes at least three times as long to boot up.
 
Im having an issue where my complication is showing yesterdays date when the watch face is illuminated, but when it is in "always-on" sleep mode - it shows the correct date.

Anyone seen this, only seems to be happening in InfoGraph face.
 
My Series 4 is now a mess thanks to WatchOS 6. The Podcasts app crashes within 5 seconds of playing a podcast (whether the podcast is uploaded to the watch or streaming via wifi or LTE makes no difference). The 3rd party podcast app Overcast works fine but can’t stream, but it proves that the podcasts themselves aren’t the problem. Unpairing / re-pairing does nothing and Apple’s tech support seems like any other call centre: read scripts, get facts really wrong, put you on hold multiple times, suggest you wait for an update but can’t tell you when. Listening to audio (pods or music): when the Activity animations play for goals reached, the audio cuts. Voice memos don‘t sync with iPhone or iPad (iOS 13.1). Interface animations stutter. Would so love to go back to watchOS 5!

My Series 5 just randomly rebooted after a workout. Anybody else having a similar issue?
