Apple released watchOS 4.0.1 on Wednesday with a fix for a problem where some Apple Watch Series 3 models with cellular connectivity support were connecting to unauthenticated public Wi-Fi networks.
The update addresses what could be a security issue because not all public Wi-Fi networks can be trusted. Someone networks could, for example, be traps trying to siphon personal information from your watch or computer.
