One of the many announcements of the Apple event this week was the release of watchOS 5.1. Although the update is a simple one-time release, new features have been added to some bugfixes intended to accompany it.
With the watchOS 5.1 update, Apple Watch Series 4 devices would have the ability to automatically contact emergency services if their carrier was stationary for about a minute if the device detected a sharp drop. This feature will broadcast a message to inform first responders that surveillance has detected a fall and to share carrier location information where possible. The update has also corrected issues that may lead to improper installation of the Walkie Talkie app for some users, as well as the application's send / receive feature, as well as rewards of activity that did not appear in the appropriate tab for some users.

One thing that Apple did not expect when it released the update was a slew of brick Apple watches. Shortly after the release of the update, reports began to hit the web of bricked devices that failed during the installation of the update. The update seems to install correctly and reports no problem, but when restarted, the Watch has an Apple logo and hangs.
Such reports are not uncommon with virtually all devices when publishing an OS update, but for Apple's defense, the company has investigated fairly quickly and has since reacted. We do not know what the problem or patch will be at this point, but Apple has removed the watchOS 5.1; it is no longer accessible at the moment. Apple's official statement says: "Due to the small number of Apple Watch customers experiencing a problem while installing watchOS 5.1 today, we removed the software update as a precaution." All affected customers should contact AppleCare, but none action is required if the update is installed correctly. We are working on a fix for an upcoming software update. "
There is still no word on when a fix would be released.
