Apple watch series 7 issues after update to 11

I updated to 11 on my Series 7 Apple Watch and now the top right and bottom right complications are not reacting to my touch. I restarted it and it still does not work. The rest of the watch seems fine. Help!

FYI, I am using the Gradient watch face.

Mine worked perfectly until the update, now the crown dial won't work inside apps. One effect of this is it's impossible to change the Sleep/Wake Up time from the watch. Note that the crown dial hasn't stopped working completely, only where it would be most useful.


I'm in the process of a full reset and will let you know how it goes. I'll also look for the problem you were having, which I hadn't experienced.

Update: reset/restore from backup complete, issue persists. I've tested a few apps.

  • No crown dial response in Weather or Sleep.
  • OK crown dial response on the main dial screen, App View, Smart Stack, Face editor, Medications.


I also set up Gradient face per /Eakrebs22, and am also seeing two non-responsive complications, but mine are lower left (Timer) and lower right (Weather).

I too updated my series 7 Apple Nike Watch to watchos 11 and now it won't startup. Tried to hard reset few times but it still won't startup. Only the Apple logo keeps on flashing when I press the crown button. I send it to the authorized Apple Store and they said that the watch is unrepairable and that I need to purchase a new watch. I was expecting this watch to last at least 4-5 years. But now I have doubts on purchasing a new one.
