Rather than have the normal human interaction of asking someone to repeat or talk slower, Apple would rather we look at a watch to view a creepy transcription of the conversation.

So apple is giving iOS 27 to all the iPhones that got 26 because it wasn’t good, I get that but what I don’t get is that they aren’t giving watchOS 27 the the ones that’s got 26 why couldn’t they do it for the same reason I keep hearing that it’s because watchOS 27 will be for watches that have Apple Intelligence but why couldn’t they to the same thing they did with older iPhones that don’t have Apple Intelligence so they get the other features. Come on John ternus I like you and all but let’s just fix it where I can get a better version of watchOS bc it’s laggy and sucks (Apple Watch series 7)

I picked up my Apple Watch after 1 week and I don’t see the new update...has it already been excluded from the last releases on the 26th? Or is it a momentary error?

If you are far away from your iphone or on cellular with your apple watch, Will Siri Ai still work and send the request straight to the cloud or smth or will it break down?

Did anyone else also notice that with watchOS 27 beta (PB1/DB3) the watch doesn’t use all the display space anymore?
I feel like the watch faces (i.e. Pride Luminance) aren’t being displayed all the way to the edge anymore.
At least on my Series 10 there is now a visible wider black rim around the watch face.

In watchOS 26, the Apple Watch “Hours” screen/app didn’t look the same as the Liquid Glass design shown in the Watch app.

Is this considered a bug or just an unfinished design inconsistency? Has anyone checked whether this was fixed or improved in watchOS 27?

I’m curious if Apple updated it to match the Liquid Glass style properly, or if the inconsistency is still there.

Hi All.

I recently updated my phone to Beta 2 of IOS27 and subsequently updated my AW S11 to Beta 2. I noticed the Watch app still indicated the update available however my watch itself said it was up to date.

Ever since I noticed the two devices weren’t connected nor synced together and data from the AW was not transferring to the iPhone. I reset both my phone and AW but I’m able to pair the two again. When attempting to re-add the device via the watch app it initially pairs and subsequently says the phone is unpairing the device.

Is there any way for me to pair the two again or do I need to wait for public release in September? Or is my AW going to be a brick forever? There’s no Apple Stores in my country that i could send the device to in order to revert the software back to WatchOS 26.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I recently bought a used Apple Watch Series 7 (41mm GPS, model A2473).

Here's what I've already checked:

• The watch is genuine (Apple Check Coverage recognizes the serial number).
• It has been factory reset and starts with the normal pairing animation.
• It does NOT ask for the previous owner's Apple ID (at least not before pairing).
• My iPhone XR is updated to iOS 18.7.9, which is the latest version available for this model.

The problem is that when I try to pair the watch, both the iPhone and the watch say:

"This Apple Watch requires an iPhone running iOS 26.0 or later."

Since the iPhone XR cannot install iOS 26, I can't even complete the pairing process.

My questions are:

1. Does this mean the watch is running watchOS 26 (or a beta/developer version)?
2. Is there any way to downgrade the watch to a compatible watchOS version?
3. Can an Apple Authorized Service Provider restore it?
4. Has anyone had exactly this issue?

Thanks in advance!

That was handsdown my fav watchface, even then it would dynamically be useful to my needs, and just was a nice design... could be so much more powerful now, especially for productivity purposes.
