Multi Watch lifestyle and upgrades

Hardware
1

I wear one watch (AW9) during the day and another (AW6) at night. The Apple Watch app on my phone is set to auto switch between them as the active watch when they’re on my wrist.

This means that neither watch will update itself overnight.

  • The night watch won’t update at night because it’s on my wrist (i.e. not on charge) and during rhe day Apple only focuses on upgrades overnight, the phone’s not near it during the day, plus it’s not the active watch.

  • The day watch won’t upgrade at night because it’s not the active watch.

This means I have to complete manual upgrades.

Is anyone else running into this?

I also use two watches. A 9 and 7; same issue. I don’t know of another option than the manual upgrades.

I have one watch but the same issue because I wear it all the time (it gets charged in two half hour slots in evening and morning). It would be good if we could set a time for automatic updates, because then I could set a time when I know the watch will be charging, and I’m guessing you could too.

This thread reminded me that I had a message to say my watch couldn’t update a few days ago, so I’m just updating it now! This is the other issue - usually when I see the message that an update couldn’t occur, I’m not in a position to do it right then, and then I forget about it.

I gave up on digital watches…loved my AW but it became “one more thing to charge”. So retired it and went analog again! Am relishing the distraction free uni-function device, which i never need to charge.
