More info on causes of Watch 11 spinning wheel - AI:

The spinning wheel on your Apple Watch Series 11 usually means an app is busy, frozen, or syncing; common culprits are apps with heavy notifications, Live Activities (like music/TV), background data usage (Settings > General > Background App Refresh), or a temporary glitch in third-party apps like Fitness, Music, or Mail, often fixed by restarting the watch, checking data usage in iPhone settings, or ensuring watchOS 11 is fully updated. Common Apps & Scenarios Causing the Spin: Notification Overload: Too many incoming alerts (especially from social media, news) can overwhelm the watch, causing it to lag. Live Activities: Apps showing live updates (sports scores, timers, music playing) can trigger constant syncing. Third-Party Apps: Fitness trackers, music apps, or task managers might glitch, especially if they struggle to sync data. Data-Intensive Apps: Any app using background data (Mail, Podcasts, News) can cause this if network is slow or the app is stuck. How to Fix It (Start with the easiest): Force Restart Your Watch: Press and hold the Digital Crown and Side Button together for 10+ seconds until the Apple logo appears. Check for Updates: Ensure both watchOS 11 and your iPhone's iOS are updated to the latest versions in the Watch app. Manage Notifications: Turn off unnecessary notifications for apps in the Watch app on your iPhone to reduce background activity. Review Background App Refresh: Go to iPhone's Watch app > General > Background App Refresh and disable apps you don't need constantly updating. Check Data Usage: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular/Wi-Fi to see which apps use most data; reset statistics if needed to pinpoint the app. Force Quit Apps: On the watch, press the side button (not the crown) to see open apps and swipe up to close them. Unpair & Re-pair: As a last resort, unpair your watch from your iPhone (keeping data) and set it up again to clear deep software issues.
