Re: Watch was updated yesterday and it will not turn on or connect to iPhone Intermittently shows Apple logo:


Wondering if there is a compatibility issue:

We do not know which WatchOS version is installed on your Watch, and which model Watch you have:

or

which iPhone model you pair the watch with, and which iOS version is installed on the iPhone.

__________

Eg: Updating to watchOS 10 requires iPhone Xs or later with iOS 17.

or __________

The latest WatchOS 9 update is watchOS 9.6.3 ...

ie: Needs Apple Watch Series 4 or later

paired with iPhone 8 or later and iPhone SE (2nd generation) or later, running iOS 16.
