My Series 3 turns itself back on, right after I turn it off.... Any ideas?

[CrackerJackToy]

Hello everyone. I just picked up a stainless steel Series 3 last week. I like to charge my watch at the end of the day, rather than overnight. The past three nights, I’ve went to get into bed and took my watch off the charger. I always power down the watch after a full charge so its ready to go in the morning without losing a charge.

After taking the watch off the charger and powering it down, the watch will randomly turn itself right back on. I then have to wait the 2 minutes it takes to boot up, just to power it down again, where then it remains off. As I mentioned, this has happened the past three nights.

Is this happening to anyone else? I was thinking it was a software issue, but it happened on 4.0 and now 4.1.

Thanks!

Send it to bed without dinner as punishment.

This may be a silly question, but how are you turning the watch off? From what you describe, you are apparently doing a restart.

I’m holding the side button and sliding “Power Off”.

Why not just leave it on the charger?
This way you won’t have to wait for the reboot.

Charge it over night. It's safe and does no harm to the battery

Not that the OP is necessarily doing this, but putting a watch on the charger if it’s powered off will force it to turn itself on.

I sometimes have the same problem. Hold the side button in until the slide to power off selection occurs and slide to the right. Watch screen goes blank. Then look at the watch a few hours later and notice it is on again.

I suspect that I during the process of sliding to the right to power off I am possibly hesitating lifting my finger at the end of the swipe or not fully swiping all the way to the right of the screen. What I did do is slow down my swipe to the right and have not had that problem for a few weeks now.

Which is why the OP stated:

What I would attempt is this:

1.) While the Apple Watch is powered on, hold down the digital crown and power button for 10 seconds to do a hard reset to see if that will clear any glitch.

2.) Set the watch up as a new Apple Watch and see if this makes a difference.
