Hi all,

Got an issue with my Apple Watch series 3. Ever since updating to WatchOS6 last week I’ve had this crazy bug where the watch will randomly power off completely. Not even show any signs of turning off, I’ll just look at it and it is completely dead.
It turns on fine again but firstly the Apple logo is upside down for the first 20 seconds (?!) then turns the right way up for the remaining boot time.
It takes ages to boot up (probably 3-5 minutes) and when it does it’s like the internal clock has also stopped (ie it shows the time that it turned off. This morning when I got up at 8am and turned it back on it showed the time 2:30am for a few minutes before connecting to my iPhone and correcting).
Seems to be fine for 30 minutes or so before doing the same again.

I’ve updated to 6.0.1, erased all content and settings and set up as a new Watch again but still got the same issue.

Anyone had anything similar?

Cheers

Sam
