    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...

    Ultra Lat/Long Complication

    Anyone else have the lat/long on the ultra always reading blank and says “updating”? One of the most useful features to me would have having the current lat/long displayed on my watch face - believe it or not. It’s pretty frustrating that it NEVER seems to work and I’ve tried updating my...

    Do you use Apple Watch to unlock your Mac?

    Do you guys use Apple Watch to unlock your Mac, when you have Touch ID in the Mac? (And why?) For me using the Touch ID makes more sense (and is prob more secure)

    Vintage Apple Watch?

    Very little information is available on it, but apparently it was made by Apple France in 1989. The case is made of steel, the movement is quartz, and the Apple logo is engraved in the dial. The watch is marked with the engraving “Full steel design by Loret & Estevez”, but upon researching Loret...

    It was a VERY expensive shower…

    Oh well… I guess I need your advice here. I accidentally put my AW 6 SS to the crash test. It failed, understandably. Someone in other thread called Series 6 Space Black “unassuming” — in a sense that it blends in with everything. He was right: it blended with the black fabrics of my outfits...

    Resolved Thinking my Series 7 is dying, and quickly?

    I was playing with the skull memoji, and got up to go to dinner, and the screen was black, wouldn't wake up when I rolled my wrist. Then I saw the Apple (apple) logo, and it stayed on screen for a few seconds, and went black again. It did this over and over. I tried to wake it up, thinking it...

    Is it normal for the sport loop to get narrower towards the ends?

    I know this is my OCD kicking in, but I wanted to ask if it is normal for the band to get slightly narrower at the end. It was quite hard to get off again the first time after putting it on the watch and I‘m afraid I might have damaged sth.
