    "Smart Watch Class Action Settlement" email (Jan 10, 2025)

    Anyone else get this email?? Hesitant with this...even though I did have an Apple Watch 1 where the battery swelled up. (had it replaced in 2020) Few red flags - My last name is spelled correctly, BUT my first full name is a wrong. Mass email at 1:00pm ET on the dot? --- maybe that's legit...

    All I want for 2025 is more watch faces

    I find myself annoyed by the lack of available watch faces for the Apple Watch. I've pretty much settled on one that I like, but anytime I want to try something else, I can't really find anything that suits me. This is especially true of the digital watch faces, of which there aren't many...

    Resolved Higher Battery Repair Cost

    Just left the only ACSP (Apple Certified Service Provider) we have outside of big electronic stores and was surprised that they had a MUCH higher price for the battery replacement than Apple quoted on their website. Apple quotes 106€ (I’m in Germany) but the store is charging 169€. Why? How...

    Smart Stack activates without user input

    Smart Stack activates often and frequently on my Apple Watch Ultra. It turns on even though I am not double-tapping my thumb and index finger. I just appears whenever I bring up my watch face to check the time. Is there a way to turn this off? I love Smart Stack, but I can't get it to stop...

    Health Vitals

    I’ve had an Ultra 2 since the black released a few weeks ago, and prior to that I had a Series 9. In the Health app on iPhone the vitals section is still showing “Vitals is Getting to Know You” even after a month or so. My theory is it’s waiting on blood oxygen data, which obviously isn’t...

    Does anyone else wish there was something between the Apple Watch and Ultra?

    I've worn an Apple Watch since 2018, got it for running and daily use. Started with the Series 4 (Space Grey), and then started running full marathons...the battery was in bad shape after a few years so I then got a Series 8 (Silver) in 2022. I loved it, but after WatchOS10...the battery took...

    Apple watch wake alarm

    Hello everyone! My partner got an Apple Watch series 10 and she was keen on trying sleep tracking and so on. She went to bed with the wake alarm set as usual and the watch on. The phone didn’t sound the alarm, the watch only vibrated, which didn’t wake her up, she missed her gym class. I...

    Series 10 42mm = perfect size

    I always found the large apple watches (at least the recent ones) too large/chunky for my taste. I prefer the look of the smaller watches on my wrist, although in the past, the small apple watches have been just that little too small. The 42mm is the perfect sweet spot for me. I really can't...

    Resolved Clean install new iPhone and Apple Watch

    I’m thinking of doing a clean install when my iPhone 16 Pro arrives and not transfer or download a backup from my current phone. This is mostly to clean up apps and the data I’m not using. Also it can be fun to explore new settings again 😊 I know it will take time to reinstall everything and...

    Apple Health Time Appear 24 instead 12 hours

    Apple Watch health tracking on iPhone. You can see on stand when I tap specific hour and says 17-18 and it really annoys me. I prefer old way saying 5-6pm or 5pm-6pm can’t quite remember but it was 12 hour. I cannot see how to change it back if that is possible?? Anyone knows?

    Your Apple Watch Use Cases

    Hey all, I've been an early adopter of the Apple Watch line - had the Series 0, Series 2, Series 3 and now have the Series 5. Very obviously my upgrade cycle has slowed down, but the issue is that I don't really feel like I'm using the watch at all. I tend to use the Watch only for Workouts and...

    Has Apple discontinued their partnership with (RED)?

    Apple stopped making PRODUCT (RED) iPhones since the 15 series, and recently they discontinued the PRODUCT (RED) Apple Watch with the Series 10. Has Apple officially terminated the partnership, or can we expect a red iPhone as the spring colour drop?

    iPhone 16 Pro Thinking of upgrading...but I need advice

    I recently received a pretty generous (~500$) Apple gift card and am thinking of how to use it. My initial plan was to upgrade my iPhone 15 Pro Max to an iPhone 16 Pro (I don't care about the phone size), which would cost me 0$ with the trade-in option. However I studied alternatives and I...

    Slept Longer Than Time in Bed

    I'm using an Apple Watch 9 with watchOS 11, and I noticed an inconsistency in my sleep tracking data. The app shows I was asleep for 7 hours and 14 minutes, but I was only in bed for 7 hours and 3 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any insights?

    Could there be any surprise announcements at the "Glowtime" Event?

    Like, could Apple surprise us with any features/products at the upcoming events that aren't rumoured/are rumoured but highly unlikely to make it, like AirPods Max Gen 2?

    Help picking SS Series 9

    I need some eyes for an outside perspective. I had the AW series 5 in stainless steel until this year when I upgraded to the series 9. I purchased the SS first and thought I was bored with the color so I exchanged it for the Graphite. Now i’m wavering on which one I should go for. For...
