Dang. Barely two months and I have to send my Apple Watch in for inspection. This is the busted EKG problem that started about a month ago. I think that is when I updated WatchOS to 7.3. One day the EKG app was working fine, the next day, nothing.
I was Googling the problem again, and somehow reached an Apple Support page. It gave me the option of speaking with someone now, with only a 2 minute wait so clicked. The CSR called me right away, but he could not troubleshoot it over the phone. I’m massively disappointed since now I’ve integrated my life with the Watch. He was very helpful in setting up a RMA ticket, but the phone is going to be gone fo 5-7 days. I’m using it to track all my appointments and medication schedule so it’s going to suck.
To set up the RMA, he had me unpair the watch which wiped it, but the Watch made a backup on my iPhone. I’m pairing it again so I can at least use it until the RMA box comes. I hope the restore works well; I spent a lot of time custom configuring the Watch.
Still syncing…

It’s done. Unpairing the Watch from the iPhone is like wiping it clean. After syncing and restoring from backup, it has to reinstall all the additional software. I have a Tesla app installed on my iPhone, which is connected to the Watch, and allow me to see the charge state and estimated range on a watch face. That’s seems to be gone. Let’s see how much stuff I have to manually restore post-syncing.
