For the past year on OS5, it was impossible getting a consistent wifi connection using OS5 and any watch series when connecting to WPA Enterprise wifi networks (e.g EDUROAM). Often, it might connect the first time the credentials are entered, but subsequent connections, we will get the dreaded "Incorrect password" error. Rebooting the watch may temporarily fix the issue but subsequent connections will still fail.

After upgrading to OS6 (I have a series 3 GPS), I have been getting consistent connections! I have tested many times now by being out of range of my phone and the WPA Enterprise wifi will be connected. Sometimes, I may have to go into settings to manually connect but that's ok - it will connect. Looks like Apple finally fixed the issue after a year.

For those who connect their watch to a WPA Enterprise wifi, are you getting similar results?
