    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...

    Technically speaking, why can’t the Apple Watch measure blood pressure?

    Hi, I was looking at the specs of the newer galaxy watches and I noticed that they support blood pressure monitoring. I didn’t see that much of a technical difference between that watch and the Apple Watch in terms of the sensors, so I was wondering why doesn’t the Apple Watch support blood...

    Verizon AW S8 BOGO 50% off (up to $250) somehow stacked $150 off

    Sad story, recently lost my AW S7 in the Atlantic. :( Still owe $350 or so. Wearing my old S5 I never sold so at least I got that going for me. It's also my wife's turn for an upgrade of her S6 Red with a deep scratch in the face. Checking the Verizon site I see they are offering 50% off if...

    Apple Watch Ultra with Existing Bands (Gallery)

    Now that we know the 44/45mm bands will work with the Apple Watch Ultra. I photoshopped a lot of Apples existing bands with the Ultra so we can all get an idea of how they will look on our wrists! See Gallery Below!

    Solo bands size question

    Does anything changed in regards to Apples Solo bands size guide on the website and the size itself since the initial launch? Is it still advice to pick one size lower than the one from measuring guide (like with the AW6 release a lot of people had to)? especially that AW 7/8 is longer by 1mm...

    watchOS 8.7 phone handoff bug (keypad not responsive)

    I've gone through Apple support without resolution and was wondering if anyone else could test or is encountering this issue. I never experienced this until the most recent (or the last couple of OS updates - not sure exactly when this started, but it was recently). I have Apple Watch SE...

    Which Apple Watch would you buy given the discounts?

    Looking to buy an Apple Watch. Generally I wait til the new one is released, but it just doesn’t sound like the series 8 will have many updates and I was thinking I’d rather have the available discounts. Plus, my series 4 broke and I don’t want to wait the month+ to upgrade. I thought it would...

    Assistive Touch - Remove Highlight?

    Although I don't need to use Assistive Touch for impairment reasons, I think it could still be a pretty cool feature to use anyway. But the reason I do not use it is that it always highlights the complication with a blue outline when you raise your wrist...which I don't need or want. I have...

    AW keeps rebooting or gets stuck in a boot loop

    So I woke up to my AW6 stuck on the Apple Logo. It had updated to the latest WatchOS version 8.7 a few days ago and was fine until this morning. I tried turning it off & on but it just kept getting stuck. Then I found a trick on the internet to ping it from the Find My app and that seemed to...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Buying an iPhone 13 2 days before iPhone 14 is launched

    So, long story short. I will be in the US on a layover on September 4th for 12 hours. I really need to upgrade my phone and was also planning to get an Apple Watch. My current phone is a Samsung A5.. very old, almost doesn't work. In my mind my idea was to get the iPhone 13 Pro Max... but I...

    I regret buying the Green S7

    I love the S7 AW. It's amazing, but I really shouldn't have committed to the green color. I've owned it for about 6 or 7 months and after the first few weeks I was over the color. The Midnight or even blue look so much better and I feel like they're easier to color coordinate bands with. The...

    Skin issue/burn on wrist from Apple Watch 7

    I recently noticed by wrist feeling uncomfortable while I was watching TV on the couch and immediately took it off and noticed a circular red sore area which, over the next 24 hours, had some mild scabbing. It is sensitive to touch but not itchy. Anyone had an experience like this? It's an...

    Will Apple Watch use iPhone's VPN?

    Resolved Apple Watch power reserve mode

    I have simple question for you, people. In power saving mode of AW, why is there like a 2 second long lag between pressing the crown and time display? I hate the lag. Is it intentional by Apple to force users to use regular mode?

    Buy an S7 or wait for the S8

    Hi everyone, I had resisted buying an Apple Watch for years (thought they were a gimmick, use a Garmin for running and a mechanical watch during the day) but I recently tried a friend's Series 7 and was amazed at the haptics and the useful extension of my favorite apps from my phone. I want to...

    Anyone with a Titanium Apple Watch?

    Hi everyone, I have a Titanium S5 and wondered what straps does everyone use with their titanium model? I didn't get the light grey band (which I won't, but it's impossible to find). I am using a Pearl Woven Nylon band and it looks pretty good. I will post a photo shortly. Thanks for reading
