The new Apple Watch Series 3 on display at Apple Regent Street on September 22, 2017 in London, England. Apple have today launched their new mobile phone the iPhone 8 and 8 plus in the UK today ahead of the iPhone X's release in November.

Here's bad news to all Apple Watch Series 3 users. It seems like the recent upgrade to the fitness watch, watchOS 7, is not working as it is supposed to be. 

Originally, the watchOS 7 upgrade is meant to enhance sleep tracking support, no longer limits watch face complications, or even has a pandemic-friendly tool that set time for your hand-washing movement for at least 20 seconds. 

A lot of Apple Watch owners can't wait for the next upgrade, but not all good things come with the software. 

In fact, 9to5Mac reported that a series of complaints were recently posted on Apple's support forums regarding the watch upgrade. 

Common complaints on the upgrade are random reboots, poor performance, bad battery, and more. 

"This has been the buggiest upgrade I have ever seen"

So far, the good feedback for the new upgrade is not coming as expected. Several Apple Watch Series 3 owners blame watchOS 7 over the issues they have had been experiencing since the time they upgraded on the software. 

Others even call watchOS 7 as the 'buggiest upgrade' he had ever seen from Apple. 

"My series 3 completed an auto update overnight to Watch OS7. Today it has shut itself down at least 3 times, locked itself while on my wrist about 4 times, failed to load complications on multiple faces (weather, activity rings, date etc), disconnected from my phone at least twice."

"It has also dropped to less than 50% battery in about 8 hours, normally it is still in the 80's. Is anyone else having these issues? This has been the buggiest upgrade I have seen," said one comment. 

Another comment called to upgrade the 'worst Watch OS release.'

Here's another problem

An Apple employee assists a customer with the new Apple Watch Series 3 at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store, September 22, 2017 in New York City. The new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, as well as the updated Apple Watch and Apple TV, go on sale today.

Apple has not yet released any statements regarding the bad feedback on the new upgrade. 

It has also not yet offered any solutions to the complaints, despite the fact that the comments were posted last week. 

Unfortunately, these owners have to face another bad news that those upgraded Apple Watch Series 3 cannot be downgrade back to watchOS 6. 

Have you been experiencing these problems too?
