    Do you think Airpods Pro 2 will eliminate the need for Apple Watch when it comes to health?

    Hi all I am currently considering buying an AW because of how its marketed as being useful for your health, etc. Then, I remember many articles saying APP 2nd gen will also focus on health. Does this mean I am better off waiting for the APP? Personally I have never been a watch-wearing...

    Which USB "end" will be on the Series 7 watch charger?

    Will it stay as USB-A or will they finally transition to USB-C...? I'm hoping they finally go full USB-C.

    Apple Music Dolby Atmos on Apple Watch?

    Has anyone found a way/know if it's possible to get Dolby Atmos songs onto Apple Watch for listening from there? I've removed the downloaded (non-Atmos) file from Music and allowed things to transfer over to Watch but so far it's still playing the non-Atmos versions.

Noticed that even if I just...

    Braided solo loop stretched too much?

    My size 6 braided solo loop is now almost 3mm longer then my size 7 rubber one. Is this acceptable or can I request a new one from Apple since the watch is way to loose now?. Or is there something I can do to shrink the band?.
