    iOS 5.1.x and 3rd party chargers - will it be fixed?

    Apple Watch Fireworks animation - 2019

    Did the watch do this in previous years? I never noticed this until now. Kind of cool. If you check out "Notifications" it will say "Happy New Year (Name)" - hit that and you should see the fireworks.

    Walkie talkie bug?

    Walkie talkie works fine for me most all the time. My only issue is that every time I use it it adds myself as a walkie talkie contact. I remove myself on the watch and in the watch app on the phone but just re adds me when I use it again. This does not happen on my wife’s or any of my friends...

My series 4 is also affected by this. :( Here’s one such thread (there are quite a few though)...

    Hit 200% move goal yesterday but didn’t get the award

    See screenshot from yesterday, clumsily circled in yellow. I checked just now and the award is still greyed out. Still, I could’ve sworn remembering that the AW notified me of the 200% yesterday. Did I do something wrong? I thought if I hit 2000 it would auto unlock, is that right? Thanks guys.
