    Calendar notifications question

    I sync my work calendar to my phone, but use the Outlook app for email. I have turned off the notifications on the work calendar (calendar app) to ensure no duplicate notifications. This works fine on my phone. On my watch, I have set it to mirror my phone, but I still get notifications from...

    Apple Watch Series 6 (Ti) with A2515 Fast Charger and 20w usb-c brick

    Hi folks! So, as the title says... would an Apple Watch Series 6 (Ti) with A2515 Fast Charger and 20w usb-c brick charge faster than the old (series 0-6) cable and 5w brick? AND more importably, is it safe for the health of the battery? I imagine it may charge faster, but NOT as fast as a...

    Torn Apple Watch solo loop band

    Mine broke after 9 months of regular use (off/on once a day to charge), and AppleCare refused to care. I get that it’s a physical part that will get daily wear and tear, but Apple sport bands I’ve had in the past at least offer a couple years of use before the glue holding the metal nub gives...

    Apple Watch Series 6 40mm Died After 7.6.1 Update

    Got a Series 6 40mm GPS Apple Watch that died about a day after the watchOS 7.6.1 update was automatically installed. Not to imply that the update itself had anything to do with it, but it stopped charging at some point after that, and the battery must've ran down. Have tried force restarting...

    40mm or 44mm??

    Hey everyone! I have recently bought the 40mm series 6 Apple Watch but I’m not sure whether it looks too small on my wrist and now contemplating getting the 44mm instead. I have a wrist of about 140mm, although might not be extremely accurate. I have took pictures with my dads old 42mm watch...

    iPhone 12 Does the blue iPhone 12 match the blue series 6 watch

    Hi, so I bought an iPhone XR and that cool Belkin 3-1 charger only to realize I need a iPhone 12 now to get the wireless charger feature on the phone to work. I don’t fully understand why the charger won’t work on the Xr phone but my car has wireless charging and everything is fine. I have a...

    My S6's altimeter glitched out, putting me at about 8000 ft higher than actual elevation

    So I have spent the past month going back and forth with Apple trying to solve this weird issue on my Apple Watch Series 6 cellular model, which started happening since I moved from NYC to the Bay Area: As the screenshots show, my watch puts me about 8000 ft higher than what my phone tells...

    Apple Watch Series 6 Creaking/Clicking Display Cover.

    Hi everyone! A couple of days ago I purchased a Series 6 44mm Apple Watch in stainless steel. I noticed yesterday that upon adjusting my watch on my wrist it made a audible click and I felt it come from the display underneath my palm. I then wiggled the display from side to side with my fingers...

    Using both Garmin and AW6

    Hi All, I'm a very keen runner and use a Garmin Forerunner to track all my runs. I want to buy a AW6 to use as a day to day watch, but switch to the Garmin for runs (I need the longer battery life and programmed workouts etc). Does anyone have any experience of using both? Does it all sync up...

    Which devices should I upgrade first?

    It’s been a while since I’ve purchased my Apple devices. I’m grateful for the lifespan my devices have given me, but many are ready for an upgrade. I’m not quite sure though which I should prioritize and would be the most worthwhile upgrades, and which I should wait out until next year’s release...

    Series 6 Reboot loop of Death

    I have a series 6 with OS 7.0.1 that is stuck in a continuous bootcycle, completely bricking the watch. Not sure if this issue has been posted elsewhere. I searched the forum and read through a couple of threads but didn’t find this particular issue so assume it’s new or uncommon. It started a...

    I noticed today that the sensors on the back of the watch were lit up (green light) when it was just sitting on the table. Then I checked my heart rate measurements and there were background measurements taken at times when I wasn't wearing the watch. Has anyone else noticed similar issues or...
