    I just got my Series 8 on sale from Target and I like to collect Apple Watch bands, so I was wondering which bands to get. I am planning to get the Sport Loop, as I heard that was comfortable. If you have a comfortable band that you'd recommend, feel free to reply. Here are the bands I have...

    Apps Anyone else have this white stripe instead of displaying the date?

    So, my watch shows a white stripe instead of the date but reveals the date when I turn my arm or tap the screen. I can’t screenshot it either because it goes away as soon as any motion is detected. I attached a pic, since I can’t screenshot it. Anyone else having this issue? It’s been doing this...

    Optimized Charge Limit on series 8 is driving me crazy

    First of all let say I’ve used Apple Watches since the very first one came out and I never had to worry about battery life on any of them… even my series 5, when it got to 79% overall battery capacity after 2 years, would still last me a whole day and I never had to worry or think about it. I’ve...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Two trade in boxes for iPhone and Watch. Which is which?

    Hi, two cardboard trade in boxes arrived at the same time with my new iPhone and watch. There's a unique customer reference number on each label but I don't know how to match that with the correct item. Can anyone help and explain how I figure out which box to send which item in?

    Apple watchOS 10 Double Tap on latest watches only – disappointing

    The instant I saw the Double Tap feature on watchOS 10 I thought gimmick (unless of course it is being used as an accessibility aid in which case it's fantastic). Less than a minute later, however, I quickly changed my initial opinion and realised just how useful this could potentially be in...

    All iPads Unlock iPad Pro with Apple Watch - appears as search item but not visible in settings

    It's a bit niche but I thought I would see if I could set my iPad Pro to unlock when I was nearby with my Apple Watch on. Search in settings and it appears but it isn't visible on the actual settings page the search links to. Is this a bug or intentional?

They then introduced the Ultra last year as a higher end, more enthusiast...

    iPhone Running personal records

    I cannot recommend the Workout Sessions app enough for tracking e.g. your personal records for e.g. running, cycling or for other workouts. It has no ads, tracking (unless you want it to use GPS), uses Apple Health data e.g. retrieved from Apple Watch but also works great with Garmin watches...
