    Apple Watch Hermes 41mm Included Sport Band Size?

    My S7 Apple Watch Hermes Edition 41mm came with a included S/M orange sports band (the "whats in the box" section does say this). I was wondering if this is the standard norm (41mm = S/M, 45mm = M/L). I just placed a replacement parts order with Apple to get the Black Hermes Sports Band and I...

    Ultra vs Stainless Steel S7/S8

    Needing this thread to talk it out with Apple watch enthusiasts. I said I wouldn't be back after the death of my SS S0, but I'm wanting an Apple watch again. My 7 Plus has finally kicked the bucket and I've been forced to an iPhone 11 (long story, PWM issues, won't repeat here) but surprisingly...

    Apple Watch Ultra on Three network UK

    Hi all! Does anyone have an Apple Watch ultra in the UK on the Three cellular network? I had cellular working on my series 7 but since getting the ultra it has never worked. Been having regular calls with Three who now say it’s a known issue but I’m not sure I believe them. They’ve also told me...

    Apple Watch Ultra - Heart Rate during runs does not work - spikes and stays high

    I bought the Apple Watch ultra for fitness and specifically running. The heart rate during rest appears to be fine. However, every time I go for a run it will spike to say 170 and stay there for the duration of the run. I tried unpairing, resetting, making sure settings were correct, and the...

    Apple Watch with Android? It's possible, sort of...

    For those 2 or 3 of you wondering if it's possible to use an AW with an Android phone, the answer is sort of. It seems that Apple has been continuously changing the AW's to be more and more independent of their mother phones. Anyway I'm a tinkerer at heart so I decided to give this a go with...

    Future AW-battery

    Hi everybody! The last couple of years I find myself becoming more locked into the apple-ecosystem. And I think that's fine. My last frontier is the AW. Which I probably in the future will acquire for myself. The thing that right now stops me is battery. I have a Garmin 245 Music right now -...

    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...
