Since updating to watchOS 11, I've noticed that my messages default to SMS instead of iMessage whenever I'm too far away from my phone and it switches to Wifi or cellular connectivity.

Also, the setting for Wifi Calling that used to live in the Settings > Phone menu on the Watch app is gone, and I can't seem to be placing wifi calls anymore.

Finally, while my Amex is still my primary card on Wallet, it is gone from Express Transit, and I can't select it back for some reason. (Still works fine on my iOS 18 phone though)..


Any other weird bugs, anyone?
 
I have always had issues with Watch wallet reordering cards, it leaves the primary card alone but reorders others. This was a problem om WatchOS 10 and on 11.

I've exactly the same problem.
What I've found out so far is, that this only happens for messages sent to a phone number, if I select the mail-address of the contact it's an iMessage.
While receiving works fine the whole time.
