Anyone try a series one with iOS 15? Obviously the device os is stuck on its old revision, but mine is now in a boot loop. Starts up, shows apple, eventually the watch face loads and… reboot. Already de/re provisioned it once, that worked for a few minutes before the loop started again. So ios15 is feeding it something.

its not critical for me, but it is annoying. Other than being slower than dirt my watch worked fine before this. If you have a s1 and it is critical to your experience, you might want to hold off on the upgrade.

Btw I reprovisioned as a new device. Just so it would be as clean as possible. Submitted logs for apple of course as well.
 
Possible fix. I turned off bluetooth on my phone, watch kept rebooting. Left it on the charger and it rebooted a few hundred more times while I went off doing other things. Came back it stopped rebooting, opened it then turned bluetooth back on in the phone. Now it is working and I'm getting alerts.

Nope, broke again and back to rebooting. Oh well, guess I'll wait for the next beta.

My Series 0 is in a boot loop even after disconnecting. It loops until the battery is dead. I first thought it was a battery issue. Apple agreed to look at it and sent me a refurb. Same issue even after a new setup.
I was able to unpair the thing trying to catch it during boot loops and will pair it with my wife's iPhone (or an old one, if I can revive it) to prove the case. I am planning on filing a bug report after that and would recommend you do the same.
I do not have high hope. Too bad for the people with the Gold Editions.
Series 0 is stuck on watchOS 4.3.1, Series 1&2 are on watchOS 6.3. It looks like all of these are likely crashing.
