Series 5 AOD crashing since daylight saving change

[Radeon85]

Strange issue, the moment the UK clocks went back an hour, when the watch face dims and you raise to wake the whole watch face crashes and relaunches.

I've tried hard resetting, changing watch faces and I've even gone as far as unpair/repairing but it has the same crashing issue.

If I disable AOD then the watch face doesn't crash when raising to wake. Never seen this until the daylight savings change.

Checking the diagnostic logs it seems to be logging watch face crash errors.

Mine has gone tits-up too. The screen dims as it should, but for one second, then flashes on and off till it’s woken again. I’ve turned off AoD for now.

Same, dims as it should but then turns off like AOD is off after 2 secs or so, raising to wake it will immediately crash the watch face 100% of the time and relaunches the face. With AOD turned off everything is perfectly fine.

Apple has an horrific track record with daylight savings times and bugs related to it even on the iPhone, nice job apple.

Have you powered the watch off then back on?

 

[Radeon85]

I did (held both buttons as well as a regular power off), even did an unpair/repair. Seems now that the time has reached the same time before reset AOD has started working as it should again without crashing.

Seems to be a bug that only crashes AOD for the first hour after it goes back. Wonder if it will occur if it goes forward. Definitely a bug that needs fixing though.

I believe this was an issue last year. I think it resolved on its own the next day. Search the forum for daylight savings bug.

Yes of course

Indeed. It’s fine again now. It’s just Apple being the usual inept incompetent code-monkeys that we know them for.

Can’t say that I’ve had an issue but then I turned my watch off last night

There also seems to be a bug in the solar dial watch face following the switch to GMT. The time is out of sync with the solar marker, and the sunset on the watch face is also incorrect. Anyone else have this issue?

I don't have problems with the always-on display, but my solar watch face has gone wonky, too. I have the same issue with the 24 hrs ring being not in sync. Already disabled and re-enabled location services, but to no avail. Weird.

Just for the record: when the watch crossed 12 pm into the next day (Oct 28th) things reverted to normal. The 24 hrs dial is no longer off and true noon, true midnight as well as the various twilight stages are spot on again.
