    No notification taps since iOS 16 and whatchOS 9

    Hi everyone, Since I updated my iPhone to iOS 16 and my Apple Watch to watchOS 9, my Watch doesn't tap my wrist upon receiving notifications anymore. The strange thing is that it does show my notifications correctly. But instead, my iPhone vibrates when notifications come in. Having checked all...

    Is it Just Me, or is the Apple Watch Battery Horrible on watchOS 9?

    Ever since I updated my 45mm gold stainless steel Series 7 to watchOS 9, I've had a pretty bad battery issue where it would drain MUCH faster than normal. For example, when tucked away in my Apple Watch box overnight, it would drain over 30% by the time that I get around to wearing it the next...

    Can Leather Link band get wet?

    As the titles says--anyone gotten one of these wet yet and did it live to fight another day? I bought one today because I started using sleep tracking recently and have found the silicone material of the standard bands uncomfortable to sleep in. (I'm possibly a bit allergic to the material, so...

    How are Airpods and an Apple Watch the same price?

    Just browsing the holiday gift guide and it struck me that it is kind of crazy that Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) and Apple Watch SE are the same price. I know one is top of the line in its category, and other is bottom of the line in its own ... but the technology/materials/components just seem...

    Every time I visit the Apple I leave Underwhelmed

    Don't get me wrong and I think maybe its a good thing. But, with each product launch over the past 3 to 4 years, I have been underwhelmed. And it shows in my current lineup: 2020 M1 MacBook Pro iPhone X Apple Watch Series 3 2017 iPad Pro 12.9 Beats Solo Take for instance, todays visit to...

    Apple Watch Series 5 Edition Ceramic: are you holding on?

    Every since the Series 3 Edition Ceramic, I've only sworn on the Edition Ceramic. I'm disappointed that Apple hasn't made an updated version, so I'm still holding on to my Series 5. The 3-year AppleCare+ expired a few weeks ago and I was able to renew it on a monthly basis meaning that I'm...

    Random heart rate spikes while sleeping

    I recently noticed that, almost every night, my Apple Watch records heart rate spikes while I'm sleeping. It will show a reading around 50bpm then shoot up to 100bpm then back to 50bpm - a few times each night. I tried using a new Fitbit (that has continuous heart rate tracking) on another wrist...

    Apple Watch Ultra Side Button Clicking Noise

    I just purchased an Apple Watch Ultra today and the "side button" underneath the crown has a fairly noticeable clicking sound. The button feels and acts as it should, it just has an audible clicking sound that's louder than my old Series 4. Does anyone else that owns the Ultra notice this...

    Display turns off when putting on AW

    When I take my AW6 off the charger, the display turns on. When I put it on my wrist, the display turns off. Take it off again, display turns back on. Back on the wrist, display turns back off. Display still works when I touch it. It's like theatre mode is on, but it's not enabled... AOD is...

    Is This Real??

    Saw this on eBay and it was listed as 'Apple Cleaning Cloth Watch - RARE Navy Microfibre Cloth - Never Sold to Public' and was curious to see if it were real as I have certainly never heard of it and searches came up with nothing?? Thanks!

    Verizon Smart Watch discount

    Just a heads up if you haven't seen it already, but Verizon has a discount for smart watches. If you use the code SMARTWATCH150 it takes $150 off whichever model you choose. I went with the Ultra but great deal. I don't see an expiration date so check it out if you're on the fence. Enjoy.

    Sorry but I find the Apple Watch Ultra absolutely ghastly

    Having looked at most peoples photos of their new watches, I’m happy you’re all liking them but I think the majority won’t. Wearing a 49mm watch in this day and age is ABSURD unless you’re in the SAS or completely ripped and your arms are massive. Right now I’m seeing these watches just...

    Is there going to be an AW Ultra-Small? Speculations and wishful thinking

    Speaking as a lady with tiny wrist (140 mm). The Ultra has some of the things I've been dreaming about for years for an Apple Watch (longer battery life, a noticeable change of design). Now the AW Ultra comes out, but it only exists in a unique size - a very BIG Size. Do you think Apple is ever...

    iPhone stolen on different continent, how to change timezone in Apple Watch when home?

    So my father’s iPhone got stolen on his last day of vacation while in south America. At the time he was travelling to the city where the airport was located and there was no way to delay the flight/rebook. He now sent me a message from one of his stops on the trip home wondering how to change...
