Some new Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 units are rebooting unexpectedly.

Some new Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 owners are reporting the smartwatches are rebooting unexpectedly, reports MacRumors.

Diagnostic logs suggest the crashes are related to the Apple Neural Engine, the article adds. Posts on the MacRumors forums since the new models launched on Friday show users describe their watches suddenly displaying the Apple logo and restarting while they were interacting with the device, doing things like using Siri AI, editing watch faces, opening Maps or the App Store, starting phone calls, and recording workouts. Some reboots have even occurred when the watch was apparently idle.

Around 30 owners have reported random reboots in the MacRumors forums thread so far. Users are also reporting similar issues on the Reddit and Apple Community Support sites.
