    AW waking me up before alarm because it's time to stand up?

    AW Series 0 with latest WatchOS installed. iPhone X with iOS 12 Developer Beta 3. So I've been using the bedtime feature since iOS 12 and usually wake up at 0630Hr but yesterday I went to bed later and set bedtime to wake me up at 0700Hr so I could sleep 30 minutes longer. At 0650Hr my Apple...

    Get a Gen 1 watch now or wait until Gen 4

    Walmart is running a deal right now for a Gen 1 watch for $159 (38mm) and $189 (42mm). I've been wanting a Apple Watch for a while but I've just been waiting for the right time. This deal seems too good to pass up I saw that Apple has a trade in program for watches. I'm thinking if I bought my...

    good 3rd party watch bands for big wrists?

    My wrist is about 8 inches exactly. I just ordered the 38mm watch and I'm afraid the band that comes with it won't fit. Any recommendations for XL wrist bands?

    I need some assistance to see if anyone with sensitive skin was able to find a Sport Band (Apple Manufactured or Third Party) to replace the one that comes with Apple Watch Sport Models? Before I continue, I used the search function, but only found posts from 2015/2016 regarding nickel...

    Using Apple Watch GPS to geotag photos in Lightroom

    Hi everyone, I have an Apple Watch 3 that I regularly use to track my hiking and trekking. I use the built-in Activity app, and I love the fact that it tracks the route with the GPS without having to use my phone. I shoot photos on a Canon 5D Mark III which doesn't have a built-in GPS module. I...

    Series 2 Battery Drain

    My Series 2 (currently watchOS 4.3) watch battery used to last 36+ hours. But for about 3-4 months it barely lasts 24 hours. I only have Sleep Watch and Carrot Weather apps. I had Sleep Watch since the beginning. So I removed the Carrot Weather complication to find out if it was the reason. But...

    What Will The Next Apple Watch Have To HAve For You To Buy It?

    I was just thinking. I've got a Series 0 that I've had since it was the only one out. I stopped using it for almost a year and put it back on last week. I think the next one would have to have a battery that would allow me to charge it once a week for me to buy it. I wanted 3rd party watch...

    I just traded my SS S0 42mm, nike band and some headphones for a Sports S3 LTE 38mm (which cost me just £20 + my traded watch, so I got a bargain). I am loving it.
