    Who else has had someone walkie talkie them at an inappropriate time (like during a work meeting)?

    I really love the feature, but am now realizing that I have to remember to turn off my availability before every meeting. Does silent mode alone silence the chirp and the person speaking?

    S4 Scratchgate? Some are reporting that the SS sapphire displays are already showing scratches.

    Just saw a post on Reddit showing micro scratches on stainless steel S4s on display at the Apple Store. Can anyone corroborate?

    Slow response when tilting wrist and screen appears.

    Picked up the S4 this afternoon, Got it all set up around 4pm, everything went smooth. I'm not sure what this is...if it's a new setting I'm missing or something is goofy? (I'm coming from a Series 1, lot has changed) It just seems to be a tad sluggish when I turn my wrist and when the screen...

    Apple Watch Series 4 + Bluetooth 5

    Has anyone noticed their Series 4 is faster with any internet requests that use Bluetooth 5 (when connected to a Bluetooth 5 iPhone)? Curious if there's a noticeable speed or even range bump there with Siri requests, sending messages, etc.

    WatchOS 5 Bugs? Or just a poor change?

    Last night, I updated my Series 3 to the latest 'n Greatest OS. So far it seems to sync and run fine. However, the "just Speak" feature does not work. I still need to say "hey Siri". And I did reset that feature on the iPhone first, also. Then, today, I asked Siri to tell me the battery power...

    Anybody lining up? Overnight? Few hours early? Location? Model?

    I got my dads watch but I missed out on mine and really want it. My gf lives near the mall. I am thinking about lining up at 4-5 at the Sherman oaks galleria. I want the stainless steel 44mm white or Milanese if I have to. Anyone else doing this ? I was hoping Best Buy might get some but I doubt it.

    Difference Between Nike Watch and Regular Aluminum? [MERGED]

    What's the difference between the regular aluminum watch and the Nike watch? Just the faces? Is the Nike stuff in addition to everything the regular watch comes with, or do you only get certain features with each one? I'm 100% getting a new one for Christmas as my original is getting quite old...

    Apple Watch & Heart Rate Chest Strap

    Realistically, how many years can I expect to get out of a S4?

    I see lots of folks upgrading from an S0. That's a solid 4 years of use. Batteries, cases, screens, speed... how did it all hold up? From what I understand, resale tanks after the next series is announced, so you either keep them for 1 year or you're in it for the long haul. If that's the case...
