    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...

    Series 7 Charging Duration

    I have a series 7 that supports USB-C fast charge. But I want to maintain the battery health percentage of my series 7 by buying a USB-A cable charger. I was a little doubtful about its originality because during a week of use, my battery health percentage dropped. And I was curious how much...

    Can I use 3rd Party Power Adapter with Type-A Magnetic Charger to charge my Apple Watch series 7?

    Hey, I have been trying to find an answer to this question. It seems there is no answer online. What are the minimum power adapter requirements to charge my Apple Watch Series 7? I have some Samsung chargers lying around that I would like to use them. I am using this power adapter with the...

    Ultra vs Stainless Steel S7/S8

    Needing this thread to talk it out with Apple watch enthusiasts. I said I wouldn't be back after the death of my SS S0, but I'm wanting an Apple watch again. My 7 Plus has finally kicked the bucket and I've been forced to an iPhone 11 (long story, PWM issues, won't repeat here) but surprisingly...

    Is it Just Me, or is the Apple Watch Battery Horrible on watchOS 9?

    Ever since I updated my 45mm gold stainless steel Series 7 to watchOS 9, I've had a pretty bad battery issue where it would drain MUCH faster than normal. For example, when tucked away in my Apple Watch box overnight, it would drain over 30% by the time that I get around to wearing it the next...

    Which Apple Watch would you buy given the discounts?

    Looking to buy an Apple Watch. Generally I wait til the new one is released, but it just doesn’t sound like the series 8 will have many updates and I was thinking I’d rather have the available discounts. Plus, my series 4 broke and I don’t want to wait the month+ to upgrade. I thought it would...

    Converting Sport Band size to Braided Solo Loop size (check photos).

    Hey, I have this sport band that came with my series 7 45mm. I wear it on hole #4 (The arrow shown on the photo), Going down to hole #3 for a tighter fit. BTW, the size fit on the Apple website is inconsistent. When placing my wrist measurement, it gives me a size 10. When printing, it gave me a...

    Tap to wake not working

    Hi, I've noticed that my Apple Watch Series 7 (watch OS 8.6) doesn't wake anymore if I tap it. If I raise my wrist it works as usual, also if I turn the crown or push a button. Was the "tap to wake" option removed in one of the latest updates or is it possible to activate/deactivate it?

    AW Series 6 Aluminum to a AW Series 7 Titanium

    Just seeing who has traded in their Series 6 for the Series 7. I love the titanium look. I know the Series 6 to 7 are small upgrades but the bigger screen, faster charging is nice but the biggest thing for me I really like is the swipe keyboard. Been wanting that for a while so I don't need to...

    My Apple Watch may have caused an electric burn, pulsing, and other issues.

    My Apple Watch (latest model) has had a strange reaction. At the top of the dec it started, as an occasional electrical pulse which I would feel in my other hand. I had some weird feelings when it came out of the package but thought it would go away. That pulse was intermittent. It gradually...

    Wireless charging docks - iPhone 11 and Apple Watch Series 7

    I'm looking for a wireless charging 3-in-1 dock that can handle fast charging for the Apple Watch Series 7 while, at the same time, not limit the phone to a model that has MagSafe (I've got a perfectly fine iPhone 11 that I have no real need to upgrade yet). Does such a dock exist, or am I kinda...

    Apple playing with colours for AW and bands, making grayscale colours extinct

    I do not care having a wide range of colour availability and it is great. However, they MUST KEEP GRAYSCALE COLOURS available for any of their product lineup no matter what. In current AW lineup for aluminum, they went with midnight blue ( it looks almost black in person which is good, but...

    How to create Notes with the Apple Watch keyboard (a workaround)

    Series 7 comes with a great mini keyboard, but no Apple Notes app (yet!). So here's a work-around I've found to take notes on your Series 7 using the keyboard: Make a Siri shortcut that either: • Creates a new reminder in a "Watch notes" folder in the Reminders app • Creates a new email to...
