Major animation lag on WatchOS3

[disaster.report]

Okay, so I have the first Apple Watch that came out (Apple Watch Series 0, if you will), and ever since I updated to WatchOS3, this thing lags so bad, that it's annoying to use or to reply to messages for example because the animation lag is so bad. Everything is so choppy for me, I've already reset everything, and no luck.

I haven't seen any threads like this, so I'm wondering if I'm alone or if there's a fix?

When yo I say you reset did you set up the Watch as new or restore? Unsure if it makes a difference but I'd set up as new. See how that treats you.

Yup, I set it up as new. No difference.

That's odd, I updated mine and it actually seems faster and smoother.

Yeah, I think it's odd too.

Well that's a shame 🙁

Fwiw I have noticed lag on a series two. Nowhere near crippling. But it's there every once in a while. :/

Really? That's interesting. Maybe it's a software thing and not a hardware issue.

I'd go to Apple on this. You unpaired and repaired as new profile and restarted both watch and iphone. Odd. I hope apple can help you out.
