    Apple Watch Series 5 - question

    Hi, I wonder what direction Apple will take with Apple Watch? At the beginning I thought it would be more like jewelry, but after introduction of Series 4 I would say the pathway is more like medical device. I know they take efforts to create non-invasion glucometer, but reports suggest it's...

    Am I making a mistake? Choosing SS over alum?

    I’ve owned a S0 and currently have a S3. Both have been aluminum, but this time I’m thinking I wanna go for some sort of SS version. Likely just SS but not quite locked down on that. Anyways, I’m pretty active (CrossFit) and always wear my watch to track my fitness. I take really good care of my...

    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.

    Hey everyone - happy release day! While I await delivery of my S4 aluminum, I am still thinking about an exchangeroo for a stainless.

And I did reset that feature on the iPhone first, also. Then, today, I asked Siri to tell me the battery power...
