Can’t install default apps after reset/re-pair
Long story short, I was trying to update my new Series 11 to WatchOS 27 b2 and was constantly hit with an error message about checking for updates. I talked with Apple Support and they had me go through the usual steps up to and including unpairing and resetting the watch. To my amazement, all it did was make it to where almost all the default apps are greyed out and are “unable to install”. The only apps installed are Settings, Phone, Photos, and the App Store.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before, and if so, what steps did you take to resolve it. I’ve tried multiple resets and setting it up from multiple different backups.
