Some Apple Watch Series 4 have entered an infinite loop of reboots…

Some Apple Watch Series 4 (actually all...) have a software problem that causes them to reoccur continuously and it is all due to a complication and the change from summer to winter time.

The failure of the Apple Watch Series 4 has begun to be noticed in Australia, which are the first in the world to make the time change. Users who are wearing the new modular WatchFace, exclusive to Series 4, and have activated the complication that shows a graph indicating our activity throughout the day, after the time change have seen how it is not possible for them to use your watch.

The problem is that the complication does not understand the time change, that is, it does not understand that a day has 23 hours instead of 24, so it causes all the system to fail and force continuous reboots.

There are two ways to fix this problem, one of them is to wait 24 hours, when the days are 24 hours again, the Apple Watch works again. the other way is more immediate, you simply have to remove the complication that gives the problem from the Apple Watch application of the iPhone.

In short, this is an error that should not occur, especially when it is not the first time something similar has happened with time changes. A few years ago, in 2010 and with iOS 4.1, Apple left many users without an alarm, an error in the time change caused the scheduled alarm to be deleted. The downside of the issue is that, although the problem occurred again first in Australia, Apple did not fix it in time and the problem also affected the Europeans.

Here, in Europe, the time change is the last weekend of October, so there is still enough time for Apple to fix the bug, let's hope that this time it doesn't rest on its laurels...
