Only way is to take to an Apple Store

Ok thanks, that’s a shame, I can downgrade all my other devices except the watch ☹️

Thanks for this - changed mine to Jamie-Ray this morning when I went out walking again in the lovely strong winds we've got in the UK today.

Let's just say he "sounded" much more enthusiastic about my efforts than I 😂.

👍 he’s surely has this personality. Jamie Ray is also a good trainer for hiit and kickboxing, I do all types of vids from him on fitness+. Doesn’t go as hard as Sam Sanchez.

They also need to add Cory too, that trainer is UK based and doesn’t to treadmill videos but he does time to run episode.

These watches lack physical ports, since the Apple Watch Series 7 and Apple Watch Ultra, which necessitates specialized tools for internal use only for restoration and downgrading via Apple Configurator

Consequently, they must be mailed to an AppleCare repair center or dropped off at an Apple Store through a Genius Bar appointment.

Is there a point update to 11.6.1? When I check for updates it’s telling me to update my phone first (I assume to 26), but I’m staying on 18.7 for the time being.

What is the latest for AWU1?

My watch has been updating for about a half an hour and my phone is still saying there is two hours left. How long did it take you to update your watch? Any tips on how I can solve this?
