Once my girlfriend's apple watch became a $300 bracelet after an iOS update broke the watch app on her Iphone (wouldn't open). Without the app, the watch was completely unusable. And, after looking into it, this issue had been reported to Apple 4-5 months prior where Apple supposedly immediately fixed it with another update. However, my gf and multiple forums online still had the issue and Apple refused to address it (I assume they quietly fixed it in a later update). The only way to fix it was to back up her phone and factory reset, and if we hadn't done that who knows how long it would have been before she could use the watch.
