Did you update it recently? It’s a problem that just popped up over the last couple of days.
Just left the store with a different watch (Nike series 5). The Genius Bar is useless! They make you feel as if they are doing you a favor. I am so angry right now! How can someone not know what is going on?!?!? This is apple not some five and dime company. Oh and don’t mention macrumors to them as thru never have heard of the website and according to them holds no validity. Steaming right now.
I dunno. Seems to be an issue but maybe it’s fixed. I dunno. Does anyone have a s5 they can try the update with now?
Really didn’t want to spend 900 dollars on something I will get rid of in a year. I’m fine with the aluminum. If the guts were different it would be a different story but for the casing alone it’s not worth 900

Wow you can’t even get 6.0. It’s them. Gotta be!
We have 2 series 5 watches in the house. One was bought a couple of weeks ago and I was able to update to 6.0.1 with no issue at that time. Yesterday we bought another setup up as new and not able to get the 6.0.1 update then tried from backup and it went back to a pre 6.0.1 backup on the 25th........ both ways unable to update to 6.0.1. This looks like a quiet pull of the 6.0.1 from the servers.
Same here. Cannot update my brand new S5 to 6.0.1. just shows that there is no Update. And my wife S3 which was showing the 6 update as due did. stop updating, co planned something about space kn the watch (which was not true as there was more than that free space) and now it comes, after a restart it wanted to install 5.3.2 as the most recent update. Since then it tells me that 5.3.2 is the most recent update.
So there really is a problem on Apples side!

I don’t think it’s a pull of the software because 6.0 isn’t available for a lot of people. It has to be a server issue.
My question is:
The owners of macrumors.com have press rights/connections with apple. Can we get them to reach out to their media contacts at apple and let them know what is going on?
It’ll be a pull... They’ve done the same with iPad Pro 2018 models on iOS 13.2 latest Beta ~ https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/11/ipad-pro-ios-13-2-beta-2-update-unavailable/
It’s not a pull for the last time. There is a difference between pulling beta software when it’s bricking iPads and pulling the next major release of a watchOS after going through the entire beta process. 6.0 isn’t downloadable either and they have not pulled WatchOS6.
I think my point; where we can all agree, is that Apple communications with their customers really lacks. We pay for AppleCare and yet the “techs” are so uninformed. Communication is key and Apple needs to step up their game with their communication skills.
No, it’s because their servers are screwed up because of the 5.3.2 release for watches where people are using older phones.
Ok.... Is this concrete info as I have not read this anywhere? If correct, then going by what you are saying it should be back as soon as they get their servers sorted!
Of course it will be. Do you think they’ve pulled 6.0 and 6.01? That makes absolutely no sense. The new watches come with 6.0 on them and there is absolutely not any possible way to pull that OS when it’s shipping live on watches. People can’t upgrade to 6.0 and 6.01 because the servers are confused because of the other update that was released a couple of days ago for older devices.
