Alright, here’s the situation: Couple days ago I’ve noticed that for some reason the apple watch wasn’t connected to my phone which was weird but wasn’t the first time it happened to me so I just turned it off. Ever since I tried turning it back on it’s been stuck in a boot loop and I’ve tried everything with no success. Force restart, force restart while on charger, letting it run out of battery and then trying to force restart after it charges and nothing. I’m running out of ideas and have no idea what to do next. Bringing it to apple is not an option for me.
Hi Iv had this happen to a series 1 Apple Watch and I narrowed it down to being the battery I know you have said speaking to apple isn’t a option but I would just in case even if it’s over a phone call or a text chat as it could be a software issue Did the battery seem to get worse or bad?if you noticed that it’s most likely a bad battery Hopefully this answers your question Thanks:-)
Apple store says its hardware issue and not battery. But they havent sent it out for analysis - so its just their guess. Seems the $79 battey service plan is only for people who have a watch that is not in boot loop:( So they want to charge me $159 for replacement. I am not under Apple care or 1 yr warranty.
