    iPhone SleepTag: analyze how your habits impact your sleep (inspired by an episode of ATP)

    Hi, Inspired by an October episode of the Accidental Tech Podcast (https://atp.fm/607), I've recently released an app that the hosts were discussing they wanted to exist but currently didn't. The premise is relatively simple: how can you better understand what impacts your sleep? SleepTag...

    WatchOS 11.4 Not Showing Up

    I know sometimes it can take a minute for updates to show up on the watch app however I’m still not seeing an option to update to 11.4. Watch is fully charged on charger and on same WiFi as the phone. Any ideas?

    Meet Sleepal: an apple watch companion app focused on sleep tracking and sleep quality analysis

    this is an app ads… (in case you hate ad.) == Apple Watch sleep data are very accurate and comprehensive, but they can also be overly complicated and confusing. Many people struggle to figure out if their deep sleep is sufficient, whether their sleep quality is good, or how to improve it...

    Fitness Live Activities Not Consistent

    I have an iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18.3.1 and an Apple Watch Series 9 running watchOS 11.3.1. When I initiated an indoor cycle yesterday using my Apple Watch, my iPhone asked if I wanted to have a live activity for that workout and I acknowledged that that I did. That was great! However, just...

    Getting extra hole punched in leather bands- thoughts?

    Y’all just discovered a charming BCBG leather Apple Watch band adorned with adorable charms. I decided to replace my aging black classic buckle replica, which had become too shiny and patina a lot, with this leather band for my gold stainless steel 40mm watch with silver lugs. However, when I...

    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...

    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...
