Apple watch Porsche app is frustrating

[Greybeard72]

Not sure what's happening or if it's due to upgrading to IOS 26 but the watch version of the Porsche app is now making me re-login every single time I try to open it. Given that I have to use my phone to do that, it makes the watch app basically useless to check or modify anything. Once I have my phone unlocked, I don't need the watch app to do anything anymore. Has anyone else noticed this or found a way around this issue? Please let me know.

My Apple Watch is having no issues with the My Porsche app. I only had to login once after upgrading to IOS 26. I once had a problem with the My Porsche app showing values in metric instead of imperial even though the iPhone was imperial and the watch was supposed to mirror the phone. I tried everything and the only thing that solved the problem was to reset the watch. It likely had some corrupted data. I would suggest that you do the same if you can’t fix it any other way.

But first try deleting the My Porsche app from your phone and then reinstalling it again. Also try a hard reset on your phone (rapid sequential pressing of volume up, volume down, and side button). If that doesn’t work then reset your Apple Watch. Good luck!

Thanks. That seems to have worked (I did a combination of all).. . Now the login issue seems to have been fixed but the data comes out but in km (metric) instead of miles even though my iphone app is still correctly set to US/UK standards. Bizarre.. Anyone know how to get that fixed? I looked in the settings on the watch app on the IPhone but nothing stands out to me that would fix that.

Unpair your watch. Then do a factory reset on the watch and pair it again. That fixed it for me!

Just an update on this issue (Apple Watch showing values in the metric system, while the iPhone and the vehicle are set to the imperial system), which happened again today. I found an easier solution. Open the iPhone’s My Porsche app and click on App Settings. Change the Units to the metric system and then back to the default, which should be Imperial (US). That fixed it!
