    Apple Watch (Series 2) - battery drains down/unstable

    Two days ago, my Apple Watch was suddenly dead. I had just gone in a pool, but nothing unusual happened, and it's been submersed before with no issues.

You even hear it when you shake it a bit, clearly hearing a very loose part inside. I took it to an Apple store right away, and for them, this looked like...

    Workout app lags

    Every time I open the workout app on my series 2 watch, the app stays frozen for about 8 - 10 seconds before I can interact with it. I can't scroll or start a new workout or anything for this period, but everything starts working normally again if I wait it out. Has anyone else seen this happen...

    No Nike+ Audio Guided Runs for Canadians

    Apparently, Nike decided that Canadians are not worthy to get audio guided runs for their Nike Apple Watches, so as of now there is no way for Canadians to download guided runs to their Apple Watch and go for a jog without their phone.

    Apps Better Apple Watch app for taking breaks and stand reminders?
