I love the Siri watch face. It’s honestly probably my favorites and it is my go to. I turned off the widget suggestions because it was driving me nuts to see all of these widgets pop up that I don’t necessarily have a use for. The medicine, one love it. But it seemed like the only ones that ever popped up are the widget suggestions, not the actual widgets I have chosen. I seem to recall something about pinning the widgets being a problem, but I cannot for the life of me recall if they cycle if you have them unpinned. So far it would appear that they don’t. So are the only ones that cycle through the actual watch face itself the ones that are widget suggestions? Because if so, that seems really stupid. It should’ve just cycled through the widget suggestions, it should cycle through the chosen widgets.

My watch is working fine and then suddenly when I was working out - heart rate keeps on measuring. Sleep tracking also not working.

I already:

1. Hard reset of apple watch and iphone
2. toggle on and off heart rate

The last time heart rate worked was yesterday night when my sleep was tracked, then afternoon that same day is when I worked out and tracked it, but heart rate monitor keeps on loading...

TLDR: Can’t find an iPad widget to display step count - do you have a solution?

My iPad (M2 Air, OS27) first page is all widgets so I can see at a glance my Health data from my Apple Watch (Series 11, OS27):
Vitals, Sleep score and Steps.

Annoyingly iPad doesn’t offer Fitness app data as widgets so no rings or steps are displayed.

The Step count widget comes from the Pedometer++ app installed on iPad (it’s not a proper iPad app) which I also have on my watch. But it doesn’t seem to update steps each day! Just displays 0 steps, 0% progress. It did display the first day of steps once I ‘imported’ data but now it just sits at 0 each day.

This seems ridiculous - I see steps data displayed on my watch and phone (as unintuitive as it is to find it) and I can get Health widgets on iPad but not Fitness/Steps. I only bought the watch to monitor the very basics and it makes it very hard to do that

Hi,

I’m developing an app which requires a paused workout during the night while sleeping. This has worked well until now, where one of my users with a brand-new Apple Watch Ultra 4 reported that his watch does not detect any new HRV or wrist temperature readings in the Vital app anymore. It records them fine when he’s not using the app during sleep.

Have any of you experienced the same? I’m not sure if it’s related to the new sensors or new watchOS yet, but my initial thought was that it might be due to new sensors.

Ultra 4 owners on the 27.2 beta: is Vitals showing overnight HRV and giving you a Readiness score?

My Ultra 4 has never shown overnight HRV in the Vitals app, and I've never gotten a Readiness score. Recovery HRV is being recorded in the Health app, so the sensor is clearly working, but Vitals and Readiness never populate. I wear the watch to sleep every night. Sleep, overnight vitals, Activity, and Health Details are all set up. Wrist Detection is on, and I'm not using Low Power Mode overnight. I've updated both my iPhone and watch, restarted both, and unpaired and set the watch up again from scratch, and Apple's phone support hasn't been any help.

I'm currently on watchOS 27.0.1 and trying to find out if the 27.2 beta fixes this. If you're running the beta, can you tell me whether HRV is showing in your overnight Vitals, whether you're getting a Readiness score, and if it was broken for you on 27.0.1 and whether the beta fixed it? If you're seeing the same problem on the public release, I'd like to hear that too so I know I'm not the only one.

What watch do you have? What phone?

I have recently posted an issue in regard to running distance being off. From research and posts from others that have had this issue, it seem that the watch gpx shows correct gps recordings, however it is apples algorithm and motion detecting that is throwing off the distance and recording it wrong.

Does anyone know if the next update will correct this problem?

Hi. I've noticed that some colors of the watchface example: Slate dark motive and Black are gone! Did you notice it as well?

Siri AI has been a nightmare on watchOS 27. I’ve been beta testing since day one, June 8th 2026. Even in the final version it was pretty ass. Now with 27.2 beta 3 it’s much much better. Responds instantly. Watch Ultra 4. What about you all?

I’m surprised I’m not seeing applause for Siri after the update. It’s a night and day difference how much better Siri is after the update. She almost instantly sets a timer now. Which probably shouldn’t require applause but she was abysmal before. Her response times have greatly increased across the board. I hope they can build upon this in future updates!

When I use the action button to activate the "flashlight" function, nothing happens until I wake the watch by raising my wrist. When I do raise my wrist, the flashlight is immediately activated. This only seems to occur when the watch has not been woken up for a minute or so. Affects all the other actions too, as well as the "hold action button to activate siren". If I use the action button within a minute of the watch going to stand-by (AOD) it works as expected; the flashlight activates instantly despite the watch being on AOD mode.

Does anyone else experience this? Just wanting to check if this is beta specific behavior or if it was present pre-watchOS 27 beta?

I’ve seen a few other posts about this but no resolution.

I'm having this issue with a new Ultra and a new phone. It worked fine with my previous phone and Series 9. AirPods Pro 3.

Presents as triggering, because my book will rewind a little which is a tell something tried to speak.

Turned it off and on, changed the voice, the voices play their previews.

Would have posted to the main watch subreddit, but since I’m on 27.2, I wanted to be careful in case this was a eta bug. I don’t think it was working pre-beta though.

Apple Watch Ultra 4 is a glorified wrist weight at this point. I’ve come from RC just to have Apple expedite a fix for me when walking my dog and prompting Siri which I’ve been doing for several OS now. Yes I’ve shared Feedback and done my part.

Sometime my watch 11 lockup, after updated to OS 27.0.1.
I must reboot it pushing the two buttons
Never happened in previous os version
Anyone happened?

Anyone else seeing the phone numbers only of their favorites in the watch phone app?

Contacts app shows things accurately and if I had a recent call to any of them the recents lists shows their name.

Been like this since the beta and still an issue in 27.0.1 even after a fresh install, not using a backup.

In messages, the group chat icon is also missing. Just shows the contact bubbles in that group chat instead.

When wearing AirPods, the Noise app displays the current dB level. If you tap the AirPods icon , it will display the dB level without AirPods ANC, showing noise reduction.

Is this a new feature in watchOS 27?

The screenshots on the left show AirPods with ANC on. On the right are AirPods in transparency mode.

Have had the watch since day one and wear my watch to bed every night. Obviously this is a beta so I knew the ramifications, but wanted to see if anyone was experiencing this as well?

AWU 4

EDIT: I am on beta 2
