Which watch do you have the original, Series 1 or Series 2?

I have a Series 2 which is working without any issues! I don't have that much on it though maybe you have something thats effecting your watchOS.

Austin Lewis Apple does not let you downgrade your watchOS. You will have to contact Apple for that. They do want your watch for a couple of days to take care of that.

The only benefit is streaming music or a data service (i.e. following a stock) to get a notification of a change.
