    Is it worth it?

    Other than tell the time on my wrist I don't see much logic to having one of these watches plus there's one downside to it which is having to charge it every night unlike a regular watch. Can one access and listen to music from the watch rather than from the iPhone? On the one hand I could buy...

    Apple Watch randomly reboots with watchOS 4.2

    I have a SS Apple Watch Series 2 and have been frustrated with the constant rebooting of my watch with the newest software. After a failed attempt with Apple Support and searching the internet, I see that other users are having the same issue with the Series 1, 2 and 3 watches. It seems as...

    Resolved Apple Watch + WPA2 Enterprise (802.1X) WiFi

    Hello all! I recently picked up a Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE, and I noticed that while I'm home, after I get out of Bluetooth range from my iPhone, my watch switches to it's LTE connection. I find this very annoying, as it quickly drains the watch's battery, and I was under the impression...

    Series 2 and OS4 Performance

    Hello everybody! I am considering buying a used Apple Watch SS Series 2 and I am wondering if the performance is good with the latest OS 4. How is the speed? What is your experience? Is it worth it, in order to save some money getting the series 2, or would you recommend getting the series 3...

    Apple Watch Achievement Badges Missing After Re-Pairing

    Anyone else have an issue where achievement badges were lost after un-pairing and re-pairing their watch to their iPhone? All of the health data are intact and transferred over, but most (not all) earned badges are gone, including the special Thanksgiving 5K badge (though the Turkey Trot...

    AW Speed improvement

    Hello everyone, I've tested the apple watch series 2 and 3 and I saw a nice speed improvement on the series 3 over the 2.. HOWEVER, most apps still take time to load (aka aren't open instantly), which ruins a bit the experience for me imo. Even when I opened the settings on the watch, it didn't...

    Recumbent bike workstation and Apple watch

    I just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/Exerpeutic-WorkFit-Adjustable-Folding-Exercise/dp/B01F8W8PK6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 My idea is to use it a LOT while working. So, it will be low-level exercise for long stretches of time. Would you use your watch to track it as a workout...

    Apple Watch on iOS designed to kill competition?

    I bought a non-Apple Smart Watch on Kickstarter (ZeTime) and was wondering how limited are non-AW in general on iOS in terms of the features they can offer in comparison to the AW? Any developers can chime in with their expertise on this?

    Siri issues on AW

    Whenever I invoke Siri on my Apple Watch Series 2 after not having used her for a little while, it says “Hold on...” on the screen before I even complete my query; it eventually asks me to repeat the query and I have to invoke Siri again by pushing in the Digital Crown. Other times, it takes...

     Apple Watch weird behaviour! (Series 3 LTE)

    So, I have had a weird thing happen... And I have done searches across all the corners of the internet, and I haven't seen anyone with the same problem. I track my sleep with my iPhone and  Watch every night with the Pillow app, and it has always worked perfectly. Until last night... It seems...

    I’m getting double notifications

    Hi, My Apple Watch (series 0) keeps pinging iMessage/text notifications even though my iPhone (X) is unlocked and I’m responding from that device. My understanding (and old behaviour) was notifications only go to one device. AW if iPhone locked, or just iPhone if in message app. It’s really...

    S3 w/ WatchOS 4: music capacity

    I've got a S3+LTE that I've just started to set up because I finally have a compatible phone (iPhone X), and I can't seem to get as much music on it as I did on my S0. How much of the 16GB is available for storing music? WatchOS 3 let me set the storage limit to 2GB, but I don't see that...

    Apple Watch standby time?

    So as it stands, Apple Watch needs to be charged every day if you want to use all the features. But there doesn't seem to be any data on two other situations: How many days does Apple Watch get from just remaining on stand by with no use? How many days does Apple Watch get from only clock use...

    Straps to compliment Space Gray Aluminium

    Hi All, I'm intrigued to know what bands/straps people have to compliment their Space Grey Aluminium? I've taken the plunge with the John Lewis offer on the 42mm Series 3 Nike+, and will be looking to purchase another strap for more formal wear. Do you have any recommendations on Apple/Third...

    Animoji on S2 Apple Watch lagging

    Hello, After purchasing the iPhone X, and doing a clean Apple Watch S2 setup, I used my new phone to send some animoji to friends. On the iPhone and iPad everything is well, but if i open an animoji conversation on the watch, the entire UI just lags like it is having a major stroke. Do you...

    Apple Watch 2 or 3?

    I gave my A0 to my sister because I really wanted better battery life. I bought a refurbished A2 from Apple and it works great but I am on the fence about returning for the A3. I really want SS as I wear the watch every day and am hard on it but I am not sure about the red dot. For those that...

    Should I wait for Black Friday?

    So, I've found a pretty good deal on a brand new Series 2 Nike+ for £249 - do you think it's worth the jump at this price, or should I wait until Black Friday to see if there's anything else? My only real drawback is that it's for the white band/silver aluminium model, which I'm unsure of (I...
