    Just move along. If you have a display issue on your S4 then “Apple Watch is not for you”

    Edit: I changed the thread title to reflect the commenters’ advice for me and maybe others who are bothered by the screen uniformity issue... ————— I’m sorry to start another thread here and appreciate everyone’s prior comments on this. However, I’d like to limit this discussion to those who...

    Apple Watch 4 Doesn’t Support AirPlay

    I was surprised and disappointed to learn that the Apple Watch Series 4 doesn’t support AirPlay! You can use the watch to remotely control a iPhone and connect to AirPlay via the phone, but when playing music directly from the watch it only supports Bluetooth and not AirPlay. Any idea why...

    Request: Show me the worst possible scratch ever on a Space Black Apple Watch.

    Ive heard the claims that SBSS is indestructible. S0s and S1s still “look like the day they were purchased.” 700 days of 23 hour use and not a mark on them. Are the rumors true? Is a scratch on a SBSS like the Bigfoot of the tech world? Surely the sheen of the SBSS must fade or something? (I am...

    AppleCare in full or monthly?

    So I get that AppleCare+ on the S4 is $79 in full for 24 months or $3.99/month for up to 24 months (adds up to $96 over 24 months). Paid-in-full is the better deal, right? You can cancel the paid-in-full at anytime for a prorated refund. Am I missing something?

    Series 4 Defects Thread

    I’ve had 3 Apple Watch Series 4s with three different issues and have a 4th on the way. If that one has an issue, I think I’ll either have to skip this generation, resort to a Series 3, or wait until they address these issues. What issue(s) are you experiencing? Are your replacements/exchanges...

    Watch setup for a kid?

    Hi all! We just replaced my wife’s 38mm series 3 with a 4. Our goal is for our ten year old to use the 3 when he’s out in the neighborhood so we can call, text him, etc. There seems to be some hypothetical limitations that I’m not sure exist or not, so I’m hoping for some clarity and...

    Get the Apple Watch Series 4 Earlier than Apple or Best Buy in US

    I'm not sure for how long it'll be there in stock but if you act quick, you'd be able to snag one. This is for those who don't have the option to go to an Apple Store or anything that such also save some money as well. You get the free extra watch faces if you were planning to get an aluminum...

    Prospective New Apple Watch buyer. S3 or S4?

    Ive never owned an Apple Watch. I want to buy the base gps model. I definitely see the AW4 is a little better than the AW3. However, being on a budget I like how I can get the AW3 42 for only $309 vs $429 for the AW4. I’m young and in great health so not too concerned about the newer fall and...

    The great S4 screen protector battle royale

    One dares not remove their S4 Nike+ from thy box without a screen protector prepared for installation. So I purchased the “big three” ahead of time for this very moment. Armorsuit, IQ Shield, and Skinomi 44mm (advertised as such) wet install film screen protectors. And the winner, just from...

    Once and for all, Space Black stainless or Space Gray aluminum?

    Those who have owned both, Space Black stainless and Space Gray aluminum, from S0-S3, knowing what you know from experience and knowing the S4 costs $749 and $529 respectively, which do you buy and why? Why did you switch from one to another? Did you switch back/want to switch back? I am asking...

    Best Buy 1-Day Shipping Reliability!

    So...After not pre-ordering an Apple Watch, and mistakenly thinking I would be able to walk in and buy a space black 40 mm series four, I found myself on Best Buy’s website today. Though they say there are none available within 250 miles of my location in Rhode Island, I was able to order the...

    Request: Post pictures of your Space Black SS "patina"

    Let's see those SBSS series 0-3's with scratches. I'd like to know what they look like and how bad it could get. Also given you can't polish SBSS, how do people make their scratches less noticeable?

    Using Apple Watch Stainless Steel in the Gym

    Was thinking of picking up a Gold Stainless Steel watch as it would suit a lot of my work outfits with a dark sports band. However I also like to hit the gym 3 times a week. Would the gold stainless steel look ok still? Anyone use it for workouts?

    Activity Rings still broken in 5.0.1

    So within my family, we have a total fo three watches. 38mm and 42mm Series 3, and a 40mm Series 4. All of them seem to suffer from really inaccurate Exercise Minute tracking, as well as some Move calories being exceptionally low. Under 5.0, my daughter's 38mm S3 would give her Exercise...

    "Hey Siri - turn on the flashlight"

    I discovered that when I say this "turn on the flashlight" to my AW, the light turns on there instead of on my phone. I'm already finding this handy. Even though the AW flashlight mode isn't very bright, I've already found it useful on several occasions.

    Series 3 will suffer greater than normal resale decline next year

    As an AW3 LTE owner who is thinking of upgrading to AW4 LTE, it occurred to me that when the Series 5 is released my AW3 LTE will suffer a sharper resale decline than other watches have done during previous release cycles. Why? Well, I suspect next cycle we’ll see more AW4s that have full ECG...

    Best 3rd party SS link band

    after spending a good amount on the watch itself, i cannot justify the ridiculously high cost of the Apple link band. Where can I find a nice and decent quality SS link band, but without spending hundreds. Thanks!
