    Hi everyone! I’ve had watchOS 4 ever since it came out and am using it on a series 2. While I am happy about most of the updates, there is one little quirk I am curious if anyone else has noticed. I use the Stand reminders in Activity and am always aiming for the 12 hour goal. When I used to...

    Apple Watch crashed in the middle of the run!

    About 10 minutes after I started a run on treadmill, just after I passed 1 km. for a bit, I looked at the watch to check my heart rate and to my horror, I only saw the white Apple logo. The watch had crashed.. And you all know how long it took to boot. And all that time I just kept running. God...

    Sometimes the mic is not working (haven't noticed before WatchOS 4)

    The last couple of weeks my mic hasn't always worked. The watch (series 1, not original watch) doesn't react to Hey Siri, dictating in messages, and Siri activated by long pressing on the Digital Crown. It is only sometimes though, because suddenly it reacts again, so I don't know if its a bug...

    Problem with Apple Watch and an extra notification Vibration

    I have an Apple Watch series 2, one of the things that I love about it is the subtlety of the double tap on my wrist to alert me of a notification. However for two apps, News and WhatsApp, I get the double tap and then an extra vibration which is as noticeable as your iPhone vibrating. I...
