This is especially true of the Apple Watch Smartwatch, the forums of the happy owners of which are full of annoyance and messages about bugs, errors, and shortcomings. Some issues bother users more often than others. Here is a list of the 10 most common problems and how to deal with them.

Open the Watch app on your iPhone and turn off unnecessary notifications.

Or, alternatively, pay attention to “smart” watches on Android: there are more of them, they are cheaper, and are now compatible with iOS.

Freeze and crash

There have been several reports that the Apple Watch turns off randomly or does not respond to requests (“crashing” and “freezing”). To keep your watch from freezing, here’s what you can try.
