Some Apple watches no longer working after update

The watches in question showed issues after installing OS 5.1 software update. After the update, some reported that their watches were stuck only displaying the Apple logo on their screens.

Apple customers have also reported being told they will need to send their watches in to be fixed. 

The software update has now been pulled, and Apple says they are working on a revised update.

What do Apple's customers say?

It's unclear at the moment how many devices are affected - but dozens of Apple watch owners have taken to social media to report issues after the update:

What should I do if I'm affected?

If you're experiencing problems with your Apple watch following the update, you can contact Apple Support. 

Apple customers have reported being told to send in their Apple watches to be repaired - rather than being able to take the devices into Apple stores for a replacement - 

What does Apple say?

A statement from Apple says: "Due to a small number of Apple Watch customers experiencing an issue while installing WatchOS 5.1 today, we've pulled back the software update as a precaution.

"Any customers impacted should contact AppleCare, but no action is required if the update installed successfully.

"We are working on a fix for an upcoming software update."
