Overheating warning

[modeh]

Recently I started facing a heating warning on my Watch 5 Pro (Bluetooth version), even when I am not using it. I tried checking for updates and resetting it many times with no luck. After the warning, the watch displays itself in airplane mode, and it keeps it like that until I restart it, regardless of how long I leave it. Does anyone face the same problem or know how to solve it? Thanks.

Factory reset. If the watch is hot when resting, it may be a failing battery. Otherwise, the watch is probably having a mechanical failure.

Already tried that with no luck. The battery is working fine. It stays more than 2 days, which makes me think it is not a battery issue. I feel it is a software issue that is not solved by resetting

That's really not a thing. Only thing software can do is cellular on LTE models. If Airplane Mode is on, and it's overheating, you should presume it's battery failure.

I have a Bluetooth version, and airplane mode is not enabled. It's enabled by the watch after the overheating warning , got my case ?

Hate to break it to you, but either the CPU is failing or the battery. I would not keep that watch on my wrist. My suggestion would be a Watch6 Classic. They can be gotten on used and refurbished deals now.

Thanks for the suggestion

Have you run watch diagnostics? The diagnostics can be found through the support tab of the members app

Yes, I already did. All tests are normal

I had this issue but it was a LTE watch 5Pro.

Turned out that the watch was not provisioned correctly with the carrier.
