The latest news is that Apple Watch is crashing and rebooting on its own. This issue has irritated many smart watch owners; but there is one weird thing associated with the issue. According to many users, Apple Watch Series 3 crashes when they ask Siri about weather. God knows why Siri doesn’t want to say anything about weather! Quite a few users also noticed that their Apple Watch reboots when they use AirWatch, a piece of software owned by VMWare. This AirWatch software causes trouble in battery life and the Calendar app in Apple Watch. Here, we have listed a few solutions if your Apple Watch restarting itself.
