Issues with watchOS 3.1.1 on some Apple Watch Series 2

It is not something that usually happens too frequently, but it may be that when we launch an update to such an extent it is launched to the general public, we may have problems of some kind and this is precisely what has happened to several users of the new Apple Watch Series 2 watches. It seems that This failure is exclusive to these new models of the Apple watch and does not affect the majority of users, but when there are reports it is because the failure exists. In this case, it is a problem that appears after the update and is shown by a red exclamation point on the screen with the text at the bottom so that they visit the Apple help website.

In principle, the web explains what to do in case the clock shows this failure, it is about forcing the restart of the device through a few simple steps: press and hold both the side button and the digital crown for at least 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo and wait for the restart. In the event that this screen freezing problem is not solved, you will have to go to an Apple Store or call the SAC to offer us a solution.

As we warned at the beginning, it is not a widespread failure among all users of this model, but it is true that several complaints are reaching the forums of MacRumors and other means. For now, the problem is shown at the time of updating the clock and is shown when the circular bar does not stop for longer than normal, then the message appears and the watch remains in this state.

For now, the rest of the models do not seem to be affected by this problem and the Series 0 and Series 1 have been updated without major mishaps than the time it takes to update the clocks itself. Hopefully those affected (none that we have evidence in Spain) get a quick and effective solution from Apple that has not spoken out about it.
