    Polish Apple Watch SS: Cape Cod vs Autosol

    I recently purchased a Series 2 stainless steel Apple Watch. I read lots online about remove scratches and gave Cape Cod a try. Using Cape Cod, it removed fine scratches and marks but nothing else. Autosol works on deeper scratches better, and it feels thicker, so it must be more coarse. So...

    S3 sports owner, downgraded to S2 Staineless steel and loving it!

    Well, I was always under the impression the latest updates are better, but Apple are proving me wrong. IOS14 has been a stinker so far (battery drain) and WatchOS7 wasn't that much of an upgrade from WatchOS6. I took the plunge and downgraded from an S3 LTE sports model to an S2 stainless steel...

    I tried setup Cardio fitness notifications on my iPhone XS Max and my Apple Watch Series 5. It says required 20 years old or older. Like my Birthday 2024 for ECG, I have to waiting for my Birthday 2022 to get Cardio fitness notifications.

    MagSafe - What to buy...

    So I received an Apple gift card about a month or 2 ago and bought a saddle brown leather case for my 12 Pro. I have about $30 left on my gift card and I’m curious what y’all think I should get: - MagSafe charger (cool but the 20W wired charger I have is faster and doesn’t leave an imprint) -...

    Fitness+ Fitness+ on TV using iPad USB-C to HDMI?

    For those without an Apple TV but have an iPad with USB-C and want to experience Fitness+ on a big screen TV, does Apple "allow you" to mirror the display to a TV via HDMI? Is there some kind of HDCP protection that prevents this, presumably to force people to purchase Apple TVs?

    15 year old Apple Watch Game Developer

    Hey guys. I am a 15 year old developer and I thought I would make a cool game for the apple watch since there aren't many out there, and especially not good ones. I made an Apple Watch Game that lets you scroll the crown to make money. And then from that money, you can upgrade to higher...

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...

    Gold/Yellow Gold/Rose Gold watch face color showing up for S6 Gold ALUM

    So I just got myself the Series 6 Gold Aluminum and as I was customizing my watch faces I noticed that Apple unlocked Gold, Yellow Gold AND Rose Gold color options! Understanding from past models, these colors were locked according to the color case you owned, but it seems that they made it...

    Apple Watch and Sleep

    It's no surprise that the Apple Watch sleep tracking functionality isn't as good as other devices you put underneath your bed and that the watch isn't a convenient device for sleeptracking given the weak battery life. So, if this is the case, why is apple still trying to integrate sleep...

    Apple watch Series 6 blue tint colour shift at different viewing angles

    Firstly and to be clear I am not trolling or hating on Apple - god knows I own enough of their products 😲😁 With that being said my new Series 6 screen has the same blue tint at angles which the Series 4 had when I tried it at release, this is disappointing but apparently a 'feature' of the...
